Tomorrow is Christmas day and it will means lots of food hopefully don't overeat.

Changes in my life
Well it has been awhile since I last posted. I was just looking back at the my 13 things to do in 2013 and realized that I have already accomplished one of my goals and most of another goal.
I finished my first HAED cross stitch pattern. This is a major accomplishment because I am a serial starter and have not completed that many patterns.
I have also almost completely purged my bedroom. I still have to get rid of my large dresser and replace it with what was my grandmothers smaller dresser. I have to also purge my closet and re-organize it. Over time this will happen in the next 6 months.
I have also started a new job. I was tired of the lack of "supervision" of the supervisor at my last job. I have started a new job this week working overnights at Shoppers putting out stock etc. It has been awhile since I worked overnights so will be awhile to get into the routine but it will come.
I am also going to start to add in little stories about my cat Tommy to my blogs. Tommy is a very 'interesting" cat and definitely has a personality all of his own.\
As far as my weight loss going that is still an ongoing struggle everyday. I am still hovering around the same weight but have started to walk again and am still trying to eat healthy everyday. This is a constant struggle in my life and will always be one but the weight will come off eventually.
Now to the story of Tommy
Tommy came into my life about 2 1/2 years ago. I had put my other kitty, Joshua, to sleep about 6 weeks before. I wasn't going to get another cat but missed having one around all the time that I decided I needed one. I went to the Huntsville Animal Shelter and to make a long story short didnt' get one from there. I went down to the Bracebridge OSPCA and once I looked at Tommy I fell in love. He was in the outside cat run with a few other younger male kitties. It was a choice between Tommy and another kitty who was all orange. Once I looked at his toes and saw he had extra toes I knew it had to be him.
Skip ahead to the present. He has brought much joy into mine and my dad's life. He always is doing something to entertain us. Whether it is laying on his back and trying to "suck" people into 'rubbing" his tummy but all he wants to really do is bite you when you go to rub him. He has a "fight" with dad everynight where he gets under dad's sheet that covers his chair and Tommy fights through the sheet.
One thing about Tommy is that he hardly ever scratches only bites.
Well that is all for today, must get supper ready.

It's been awhile
While it sure has been awhile since I have posted. I am still trying to lose weight and still around 210 pounds which is very good. I have decided that 2013 will be the year of me. I am stepping down at work because can no longer handle the stress of people complaining about a free paper. I definitely will have no money but will hopefully be a lot happier. I will make ends meet and if I have to I will get a job at McDonalds. I am still trying to eat healthier and have even bought a few Vegan cookbooks and tried a few of the recipes. I am going to make a list of my 13 things to do in 2013 and hope to accomplish them all.\

not feeling well
I lost 4 pounds this week and am down to 214 lbs. Seems like a lot which it is but have not been feeling well and actually went to the emergency dept the other morning. Told me it was likely an ovarian cyst that had burst. It felt like my appendix but glad it wasn't.
Haven't been doing any exercise either which is not good. Really considering joining a gym, but must wait for my new job to kick in so that I know what available money I will have to put towards a gym membership.
Trying to eat more healthy could never totally give up meat, eggs or milk products but am going to try and eat healthier.

A walking we will go
I was down another 0.4 lbs this week which totally surprised me but made me very happy. With a little bit cooler weather happening I have decided I had better get out and get walking. I walked this morning and I have decided that I had better get a better pair of shoes. I am going to have to breakdown and go to a real shoe store and get a really good pair of walking shoes no matter how much they cost. This weekend is the baby shower for my nieces twin girls and there will be lots of food so must plan accordingly. I have to take a macaroni salad so am going to research a lower calorie option.
My clothes are getting looser and looser so definitely will have to buy some new clothes come the fall. I don't even know what size I am but definitely not the size I use to be. I really have to start to do some exercises for my stomach because it is starting to sag because of the loose skin and actually I look gross without any clothes on. Wish I could afford a tummy tuck.

HOT
I was down another 0.4 lbs today. I figure that is very good because I have not been walking at all this last week and probably won't until at least the weekend. Tomorrow it is suppose to be about 44 C with the humidex.
Going to have family for dinner on Saturday night and am planning on having vegetable kebobs and chicken satays. I have learned to love fennel which I do on the bbq in foil with a little balsamic vinegar and sea salt. it becomes almost sweet and has a very faint licorce flavour. It is extremely good.
I have also got my cross stitching bug back which is good because it keeps my hands busy and my mind off food. presently I am working on 2 projects, a Blue Heron and a black and white one called Treasures which is a SAL through the HAED discussion board.
Well must go and drink more water and doing some cross stitching.
