I'm not going to set any goals this month. The only one being that I build my strength back up to get back into my walking again. I did not realize how much I would miss it until I could not do it.
I had a bad fall on my way ho the day before my birthday and wrecked my knee. It looks alot better then it did but I don't have all the strength in it yet to put the 100% weight on it. My best friend who is a nurse said that I should not go for my big walks for at least 2 more weeks and also just go for smaller ones or maybe just 1 not 2 or 3 like I have been doing.
Good luck to everyone this week.KIM

Good morning everyone. Hope all is well. I'm doing alot better now with my knee. It's been a week now. I'm off the crutches and I'm on my own now. I have to be careful on the stairs or uneven pavement though. I have to go back to work tomorrow. I have to practice lifting a few things around the house and carrying them around because that is what I do at work. The boss is going away for 4 days so I have to be OK on my own.
I got out my food mover stuff again last night. I'm starting from scratch. I thought that would be the best way.While I was off the past 3 weeks I've put 4 pounds back on. And I'm sure it has alot to do with no exercise while I knee was bad and I was not aloud to go for any walks. The Dr. said not to go for my usual walks for at least 1 more week and also to ease into them. For the 1st weeks I'm only to do 1 a day not 3 like I have been doing. KIM

Hi everyone. I had a good day today. I went shopping all day with my one daughter. We had a great time. We walked everywhere. I know that I walked at least 2 miles today.
I go back to work tomorrow. It's my 1st day back in 3 weeks. I was off the last week due to my fall. I'm doing alot better then I was a week ago. I would say that I'm about 80% better. My knee is still sore to the touch and I can't bang it yet without it still being sore but I'm better and that is all that counts.

Hi Everyone. Hope all is well? I had a pretty good day today. I did not think that I would because I did not have a good sleep at all. I woke up in a big panic last night. I woke up about 1:30 and I was still up at 2 so I came down to watch T.V. until 4 and I was still up at 5. And I got up at 6:30 to get ready for work. I did alot of thinking then. And when I woke up the 1st time I was crying?
You see I've been trying to find the aswer to all my problems in all these books and I'm not getting anywhere? I think that is why I feel lost lately? I'm not sure. I still want to find the answer but I don't know where to look?
You see in the dream I had before I woke up it was like someone was wispering this in my ear and it was like someone was right there doing it to me right then and there. This person said you are fat and always have been and when are you going to do something about it? You always flunk at everything you do so why not this to? I woke up is disbelief? I even kept opening and closing my eyes wondering if I was awake or not?
I think that this is a sign? I have not figuared it out yet but I think so? You see I keep seeing in all the books that I should write down all this stuff and how I'm feeling? I don't know where to begin? And I would never want anyone to find it either.
I think when I went to bed last night I went to bed thinking about the look I got from a customer yesterday. I helped him and looked after him just as I would have any other customer? But the look I got back was what bothered me? He looked me up and down and said "Thank you very much for helping me?" But he said it in that kind of voice like Even though you are kind of chunky you were a help to me anyway? I think you would have to be there yourself to hear? Anyway I did not like it because I feel myself It is not a persons size that would bother me it is how they treat me while I'm looking after them. They should not judge me if I do a good job by my size or not because it is me that looks after them NOT MY SIZE? KIM

Hi everyone. I had a pretty good day today. It was long and I got in my 1st walk with the hubby in almost 2 weeks. I was slower then I usually am but I did it and that is the most important thing right?

Read my weigh in for today. I came across a good book that I wanted to share with you. KIM

Hey there everyone. I had a good day. I ended up getting 2 walks in today. I'll be tired by the end of the night. The knee is still sore but I'm getting around. I wanted to start some new exercises but I can't do them yet because I would need to be on my knees. I guess I'll just have to do other ones until I can.
I start my new way of eating and keeping track of my calories and exercises tomorrow. I've spent the weekend thinking ahead and how and when I can do things. Read my weigh in from yesterday and you will see what I'm talking about. KIM Good luck this week.

Good morning everyone. I woke up to 1 pound less. I'm at 164/155/140. Good luck to everyone this week. KIM

Well that did not last lone. I ended up working full time this week and had a terrible time with my knee still and I did not get in very much exercise because of it. I'll be glad when I'm feeling better. You know even my hubby said that I looked terrible thses days, He asked me if I'm Ok and I said NO. I don't know why? But I just don't feel right.
I'm getting a new Dr. in Sept. I think I will wait until she starts and go in and get a good once over. I'M sure I'm due for some blood work and all that stuff anyway. Just don'e feel like myself thses days. Usually I'm pretty bubbly even if I'm having a bad when I get home but hubby said I look really tired and maybe I should go in. We are busy with something every day until the kids go back to school so I will wait until I can have time for me.

Anyhow, stop by my journal and say "hey" sometime...
Really glad you are here Kimberly.:x

Thanks T2Looz. Hope you are well these days. I myself don't feel that great. I'm due for a big once over from the Dr. I'm going to call on Monday and see when I can get in. I just don't feel right thses days. I'm heading for my walks soon. KIM Good luck in the next week. KIM

Well I ended up getting 3 walks in and I drank 12 glasses of water today. I'm hoping that will give me a jump start to a fresh week.The next 2 weeks are very busy with appointments for me and the kids and all the back to school stuff to do. I'll be glad to see them go back so I can have time just for me. Hubby and I have played taxi all summer and would like to slow down. School just brings a new set of things to do though. Well at least until they know how to drive I know what they are doing because they have to be picked up. That is the one draw back about us living in the country. I grow up in a city and we were always on a bus or we walked everywhere or you know someone with a car on Friday and Saturday nights.. Well my baby is heading for High School in a few weeks. Where has the time gone. Someone asked me if I was going to cry? I did not cry for the 1st one. I think I will have a hard time when they leave for College or University. They will only be 17 when they are done.

Hi everyone. I hope all of you have been well? If you read some of my other posts you will see that on Monday I was attacked by a dog while I went for one of my usual walks. Hubby won't let me go that way until I get a few things to protect myself again. The man will be charged and if they see the dog off the chain or if he goes after anyone else they will put him down. I don't think that the dog should get a 2nd chance to try it again after what I went through. The only thing good about this week is that I was so busy at work and taking the kids everywhere under the sun that I ended up losing 2 pounds. I'm not back down to where I was yet but it is a start. So as of yesterday I'm at 164/154/140. I was at 156 last week. Good luck to everyone this week. KIM

You will never guess where I'm going tomorrow. I'm going to go to Canadian Idol. What a great thing to part of. My nephew works for the T.V. Station and got the 4 of us tickets. My youngest daughter is so excited. She is taking a friend up with us. My other daughter does not want to go. She has to study for her written driving test for Wednesday. She was going to go with us but decided that doing that was the thing to do. I can't wait for tomorrow. It is my day off and I can't think of a better thing to do on that day. KIM

Well today's the day we head up to Toronto for Canadian Idol. We can't wait. We head up as soon as we pick up the kids from school. They have to pick up the school books and their class charts and find their home rooms and all that stuff. Lunch is included. We are going to have so much fun just being their just being part of it.

Hi everyone. We had a great time up at Canadian Idol in Toronto. Words can't tell you how much fun it was to see how a show is done from behind the scenes. What a great time. Even Hubyy enjoyed himself. KIM

Hey Kim,

Wow, what a lot of fun that would be, sounds very cool and my kids would be so jealous.

You are doing great with your walking and weight, good for you.

I am looking forward to school being in and being able to have some routines back again, whew, it will be good.

Had a nice summer but so unorganized.

Hope your knees are doing well, that must have been hard.

Good luck at the doctors too. Hope it is all good news.
