May22,1998 Hi, back again. Still doing great on my diet and exercise. I have been using tapes, Jane Fonda,Richard Simmons and the Firm. I love them,and I have been walking too,its a little hard here to walk, living in the mountains but its a good workout.Tried the garden burger last night and those WOW potato chips, the chips are great the burger...well lets just say its nothing to write home about. Til next time...

May 23, 1998 Hi again, My husband is home!!!! I havent seen him all week. Today we are going to go fishing.Not my favorite thing to do, I have put off getting my lisence because you have to put your weight down. But now I guess I have to be honest, when I started my diet I was around 240 I think, I am now happy to say Im down to 206 as of this morning!!! Pretty good huh? I feel so much better.....til next time

May 25. 1998 Hi again all, doing great with my eating, having fun with my husband fishing, to my relief I did not have to put my weight down on the liscense!!! I really enjoyed myself, I felt closer to my husband sharing an activity that he enjoyed! He has to leave tonight :(, on his way to Maine, with 40,000 lbs of beans. Anyway I need to get back to my exercise routine, havent since he has been home, except for !!!!, well you know ladies! til next time......

May 26,1998 My husband left this morning, this is always the hardest time for me. I used to eat and eat to make up for the lonely feelings. I'm getting better at it though.I weighed in at 205 this morning,I'm not going to weigh in til next week. I figured once a week is good. I dont want to get dissapointed by a daily weigh in, I find my weight will go up and down like that. Didnt get to exercise this morning, did all my big cleaning, tonight after dinner me and the kids will take a walk or do Richard Simmons. til tommorow

May 27,1998 Well didnt exercise last night, I dont know why, just felt no energy at all, made up for it this morning with 70 minutes of Jane Fonda Full Body Workout with weights, felt good and got me motivated again. I want to keep losing,in July Im going with Rich on the truck for 2 weeks, while the kids are at their dad's house. Cant wait to go...alone with my man for 2 whole weeks! I want to look good. So far for breakfast today I had one of those small Lenders bagels, and a teeny bit of I cant believe its not butter...mmm, wonder why Fabio doesnt come popping out??? (Is that his name?) Anyway be stong all, have a good day. Til next time

May28,1998 i had a nice surprise last night, my husband popped in on his way to Tenneesse, it was great.He got to stay home til this afternoon, loved it,but it also means that he probably wont be home this weekend, thats always tough for me. I weighed myself this morning. 204!!! Feel wonderful, now when I get below 200, that will be even better. I didnt exercise this morning,my lower back is sore. Some where I hurt it yesterday, maybe the Jane Fonda tape. Love that dietwatch diary, never knew how many calories I burned working out.Til next time....

May29,1998 Just got back from the beauty salon...love getting my hair and nails done, it makes me feel so much better about the way I look, even if I still have tons to lose... Husband just called, hes on his way back home again. He should be in early morning sometime....Lucky me. Doing great on my diet, almost raided the fridge last night, but I was able to control myself. Its so hard being on the edge like that, scary too,that it just takes a minute to lose control. Did my Richard Simmons tape this morning, I really love that guy, he always gets me crying when hes on the talk shows. Til next time.......

May30,1998 Great day so far, its only 8:45am and I woke up to no hot water...JOY My husband should be home soon so before I call the landlord I'll have him take a look, we did have storms last night so maybe it has something to do with that. Anyway last night I slipped and had a sandwich at 10:30pm, :( It was only a nofat cheese on whole wheat but it made me feel so guilty, I wanted to keep eating but I stopped myself.I was also in a "mood" last night, you know feeling sorry for myself.Shame on me for that! I have so much to be thankful for, great husband, two beautiful kids and my health.I will try harder to not get in that "mood" so much.I do suffer with depression, I have for so many years now, I find that the exercise helps. Thanks all who signed my guest book, its such a great feeling!:) Til tommorow.......

May 31,1998 Hi all, thanks to everyone who signed my guest book!Well my husband came in yesterday and fixed the hot water, simple tripped fuse. I could have figured that out myself, just like him feeling like the hero! We went fishing last night at the river, no catches then we went to the icecream stand. I had a nofat, sugar free chocolate yogurt! It was so GOOD! I asked the lady that served us if she knew how many calories were in it, I just got dumb looks...if anyone knows, let me know. If you notice that my page keeps changing, no its not your imagination it is changing....its your clue that my husband is home!!!! he loves changing it and making it pretty..(He should get his own page} just kidding, I love what he is doing...and Im learning too. Well tommorow is the big weigh in, and the first of June.Til then be strong all, and have a great day.
