Wow!.... I never thought I would figure out this layout stuff...Trying to gather a template from another site was impossible, so had to start from scratch in a way of changing a couple html codes in notebook....I did'nt design this and credit is @ the bottom of the page....She has an amazing array of templates......
This will be my outlet pretty much everyday for my lifestyle change journey...Used to posting a diary everyday elsewhere...
I have a little over half-way to go to reaching my initial goal of downsizing by 82#'s.....I began on 01/21/08 with eating healthier to start and then incorporated walking everyday on 02/01/08... Had a few speedbumps along the way and not much progress made this last 6 months..... Not able to walk everyday as I was, due to caring for an infant & 2 other little boys knocls me out of walking with the baby jogger like the beginning days... But, I do own a Gazelle (like cross-country skiiing) and a resistance bike for when I decide to go a few miles.... I have logged almost 970 miles between the Gazelle and walking....
In my journey I have opted to not use the word "diet" or "lose weight" for myself..... Diets fade and usually fairly quick in that they aren't something I can stick to the remainder of my life..Moderation is my motto..... As for the "losing" part..... I am not looking for pounds, so why would I say I lost them? I'm working them off ounce by ounce...Thus, this is a "downsizing" for me.... Which have went down a size and maybe a quarter of another.... Shall be down a total of 2 sizes hopefully by the end of April...That's my goal anyways.....
Being a stay @ home mom & babysitter for 14 years hasn't allowed me much time or opportunity to make many friends for several years.... I do have some friends I keep in contact with through the internet (facebook and now here hopefully).... Made some great friends on the "diet" support site and have 1 in particular I'm very fond of and hope to never lose contact with. She tells me we were seperated at birth, but I find that a bit impossible beings as we are something like 6 years apart ( I won't say who beat who in birth order)... We are pretty much total opposites, but share a bond that is undescribable... I tease her that I am going to walk to her house one day...... It would take me FOREVER to do that realistically, but I can wish & dream about it at least.....
Recently learned that my mom has dimentia and dealing with that has been a bit of a tough road in acceptance. Allowing God to show us His reason for all things is what we have to focus on....
I think I have given enough for my first post and will start tomorrow with listing my menu/activites sometime for my self accountability..... Couldn't find any other website that offered what I had the other place, so this blog was the next best thing...... Follow along with me if you want, but don't feel obligated to comment, etc....... I know I can get pretty boring a majority of the time.....
TTFN, Jerri

Looks good Jer. I just started a blog last week myself! Mine still needs a lot of polishing and taking time to post.
LOVE it! Good job making it from scratch. I've done that before but its so much work, I'd rather use a template. I'm definitely impressed! I can really see this blog taking off, keep it up! It might motivate me to keep my blog updated as well. :) Love ya.
Oh! I forgot to ask, where did you get the Gazelle? I've been looking for one but they are out of stock now! Do you like it? Is it difficult to get used to? Thank!
