Since I have started I was at 274. My today weigh in has me sitting at 270. I lost really 2 lbs this week. I didn't post last week weigh in when I gain back a pound. It sort of depressed me last week but this week I lost 2 lbs. I have a total of 4 lbs lost. "awesome"
I had walked a mile twice this week. It greatly helps if I exercise. Food was a little off this week but manage to survive it. I say a little off because I was not planning to have that much noodles in my diet. I do not like to have to much refine carbs. Something about them makes me gain weight and feel weak if I eat to much refine carbs.
Today is my Birthday. Lets see how much I will survive today. :o)
I just wish it did not start out getting up this morning with rain. :o(
buh hum bug I know we need it.

Another pound down
I was certainly happy with myself this morning when I weighed myself. I lost one whole pound. I weigh myself every Friday and it has been three weeks now.
I started at 274.0
Dropped to 272.8
this week is 271.8
A total of 2.2lbs off of me.
I am already feeling little difference.
For a while I thought I blew it this week. I only walked this week. I did not work with the weight set. I thought I may have put to much potato casserole on my plate last night. I had made a cake for my husband and have cut a small slice for me and I am proud it was a small slice. It was just enough to have a social dessert with my husband and just enough sweet satisfaction. Working with portion control here.

stretching the budget
We over spent on novelties this month. We came up short buying decent food. You see I think that is unfair. If you have walked through a grocery store and things like Fruits is $5 a bag or 80 cents a pound. onions running around at $3.58 for a bag of onions, $2 and something for Romaine lettuce, $3 of tomatoes.
I was suppose to start a garden this year but that is not starting out to well either. The ground needs to be worked with to get nutrients back into it and we are short on money for that right now. Hopefully by next year I have the ground ready to grow , Tomato's, onions, green bell peppers "OMG have you seen the price on green bell peppers at the store?" By the time you get some extra ingredients like that your budget is pretty much chewed for the rest of the groceries. Right now we budget on about $200 for two and it needs to buy grocery for a month. We usually run short for a week but this month it is going to be different we are running short for two weeks but like I said we over spent on novelties and it cut into the food budget by $50 bucks.
It looks like it may be pinto beans, some kind of meat and corn bread for the rest of the month.
I really need to get a job soon and I have sent dozen of applications out and all I get back in rejection letters. I had wasted a year of my life going to Medical Assisting school just to have 25 of my application rejected and about 2 people giving me their opinion that they would not take anyone that came from the school that I was taught at.
Yea a real "Debbie downer for me" I have gave up this search and decided to start putting my applications in clerical or inventory clerk at warehousing.
This is the only thing that is depressing me is I am not working and my husband is and we are struggling.
I did not do any of my exercises over the weekend. I am going to try to get back on track by late afternoon, after I am done job searching and figuring out dinner.

Weight has melted
I went from 274 to 272.8.. Swwwweeeet!
If I can keep this up I am doing great.
However! I have these ugly hot dogs around I have to be careful with. Good gawd they are high calories. One hot dog 350 calories.
Shopping isn't fair when you need to stretch the budget and this is how these hot dogs got into the basket. ugh....

Hump Day.
So far I have done pretty good I think. Monday I took a 1/2 mile walk, yesterday I worked with the weight machine for 25 minutes, today I will be taking a walk using my noom on my smart phone to measure my distance and calories burn. I wish noom would let me post my results to my blog instead of my facebook. Oh well.
Yesterday I had a bowl of cereal. This is getting boring but it is what I have right now until we can go buy some eggs. I kind of miss having eggs for breakfast.
I had a lean pocket for lunch. I did not want anything to big and something fast to cook. I had to keep going.
At super time my husband grilled up some chicken and we decided to have a grilled chicken salad for dinner. Lots of lettuce, romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, cheese in moderation and salad dressing in moderation. It was yummy.
My husband wanted to have his dessert a root beer float. I made his same size glass as usual but for me I took out a smaller glass and could only fit two scoops of ice cream against his 4 or 5 scoops he eat. I am cutting it back.
I am weaning myself off the soda's pretty good. It is just my water with my MiO water enhancers.
I feel pretty good with the choices so far. Hopefully by Friday I have lost "Something"
time for me to go on my walk.
Fingers cross!!!

what is up with your nick name?
I have been trying to upload a profile picture of me but the Internet is being stubborn today. I have taken a picture of me with my camera phone and tried to send it from the camera phone to my GMail. Usually I am successful with this. NOT TODAY!!!
I have sent my picture to myself three times already. So I guess it is the waiting game today. I will see three pictures sent to my GMail sometimes today.
Tobiano Filly is my nickname I go by on here. I am a horse person. The horse I plan to get in the future is a Paint horse with tobiano pattern. I favor the tobiano pattern over the overo pattern so it is the description of a pattern I like. I want a black and white or bay and white mare around four or fiveish years old. I want her young cause I have plans to do things with her and she will be my long time partner. She will also bring me my second horse so breeding is in the plans later. She has to be 15.2 hands tall and it seems like this is becoming a rare average height because every ad I look at horses are 14 hands. I do not recall horses being so short back 28 years ago. It seems I could find plenty around 15 hands and up and it was rare occasion to find a 16h horse unless you wanted a Thoroughbred.
This is also what inspires me a whole lot about losing weight. You have got to be able to move with the horse if you compete in anything and I am at my biggest. I would also like to be quite a bit lighter on my horses back. I was not this heavy back when I had a horse.
I have put a down payment on my saddle yesterday. I am super excited.

Noom?
I have downloaded Noom to my android phone. I think it is a little awesome app when it comes to tracking your walk. It works off the GPS to track how far you walked. It also has a weight graph so you can record your weight. After you are done walking you can post your progress onto Facebook which I usually do. I do not like their logging in the food part of the app. The calorie counting always ends up off either by to much or to little. You can get this app free which I have their free version. I do not care for their paid version. I have not tried it yet but I do not like the idea of paying for something per monthly when it comes to app's. I prefer to pay a reasonable price for an app and just upgrade per year if I want to. I guess I will stick with the free version. I basically wanted it for the tracking my weight and track my walking on GPS. It measures the distance and the amount of calories you burn.
