Random Thoughts

This is a little different than what I usually post here but I thought I would change it up a bit.

Sometimes I like to "blog hop", meaning hit the "Next blog" button at the top of page and read through different blogs that look interesting.  When I do that from this particular blog, I end up scrolling through likewise blogs, in other words, diet blogs.  Some of them have been amusing and some of them have been very honest about their weights and how much they want to lose and other issues. (Nope, I'm not putting my weight out there or how much I have to lose.)  The part I don't like is when the last time they wrote was months ago and don't come back, leaving me to wonder what happened to them.  Did they fail? Did they succeed? Did they just give up blogging? I'm thinking they probably didn't lose the weight and gave up the blog because of it.  Which I understand.  I've had this blog for years even though I haven't lost very much, but I still come on here to write as an outlet (well, except for 2014...)  At any rate, I'll still blog hop anyway.

Hector was warned by his doctor in February that he needed to lose weight because he was pre-diabetic and also he has fatty liver disease (confirmed after a CT scan).  So he started dieting in February and has already lost about 25 lbs.  It is rather irritating that he can lose weight so quickly and not even starving himself or exercising, yet I lose sooooooooo slowly and gain one or two pounds back if I eat a big meal.  I will say though he doesn't eat healthy for the most part, and I keep telling him the faster he loses it the faster he can gain it back.  I guess we'll see....I hope he does keep it off because of his health potential health issues.

I have been keeping up on the drinking water part, though I don't do well with that on weekends for some reason. It is something I need to improve on.  On week day mornings I drink 16 ozs while I am putting on make-up and getting ready to head out the door, and then at work I drink two 16.9oz bottles of water, and then in the evening I drink at least another 16oz.  I probably should drink even more than that from what I've read, but I have never been one to just sit and drink, so for now this will have to do me for now.  But I do need to improve for the weekends.

I have a love/hate relationship with going away for the weekend. I love it because I'm going to see Vikie or Tonda  or in this case for this weekend, to NC to see Nicole for her birthday, and Beau and Kyla, all of whom I haven't seen since May or June.   And then I hate it because it means eating out and for me it is just harder to watch the food intake then.  Not that I eat all day long or anything, but then maybe I should have small healthy snacks so that I don't want to eat a lot at dinner. I just have to think of what those could be, along with bringing some water with me.

I weighed myself this morning.....
