I did the Johnnycake walk in 1 hr and 1 min (at least I didnt finish last). I did not see vivian or Laura, but I did see Mike. It was fun and I will do it again next year and I will do it in 45 min. As for losing weight I my as well forget it until I get my kitchen back. It's been 9 weeks of eating out everyday.

Well, my class reunion is over and I didnt reach my goal, I would say about 15lbs short. Since I've been eating out for 8 weeks (not kitchen) that doesn't help. I probably wont have a kitchen until this contest is over. When this contest is over I think an update should be made in a year as to what our weight is a year from now.

 

I am surprised by the number of people following this contest. I had one golfing friend advise me that I was an inspiration and she has joined weight watchers. For someone to tell me I'm an inspiration it really makes me feel good.

Since the last time I blogged my washer hose burst during the night and my kitchen, laundry room and dinning room flooded. At the present time I have no kitchen, no sink, cabinets,floor. My kitchen, laundry room, dinning room are being completely restored. My weight loss is not doing well due to the fact I have to eat all my meals out until the kitchen is completed. It will be at least another 2 weeks. I did sign up for the Johnny Cake walk (Not the run).  B y the way I can't find the blogs, did they discontinue us? 

Since my journey into weight loss a couple of things have changed in my life. Today for the first time this season I can tell my golf ball is traveling further than last year. I also have a lot more energy even though I'm older. I also feel lighter when I walk (my shoes aren't as heavy). I believe my personality has changed a little also (I'm not as grumpy).

I'm going to blame it on the weather for the slow down in weight loss. I need sunshine to help shed these pounds. I can't play golf or take my long walks on the bike path. If I lose 6 oz for this weight in I will be happy.

I made an oath to myself that starting monday, NO MORE CARBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. In order to reach my personal goal by the 1st of July I have to lose 10lbs in May and another 10 or 12 in June. If I'm not golfing I will be walking at least 3 to 5 miles a day, (my poor dog with her short little legs). I have been working in the yard, which helps a little bit. As long as the rain stays away during the day I think I should be able to do it. I sorted through my shorts for golf today and only 1 pair was too big for me and that's not good.  NO MORE BREAD, CHIPS, BAGELS, AND NACHO'S, FRENCH FRIES OR COKE!!!!!! I got to drink that clear stuff called water.

This is a very bad week for me as I have 3 different breakfasts for my 3 golf leagues. Yes, I have gained this week, but I did get to golf 18 holes on tuesday. No walking due to the threat of rain every minute of the day. I did dig in the wet dirt wednesday as I had to get my pansies planted. I'm at work now and I have a breakfast in 4 hours at St Denis and one more friday morning. I guess I will be starving myself the remainder of friday for this coming weight-in. I hope everyone else is doing better than I am.
