Don't wanna be a sideline mom!


My name is Andi, I retired after 22 years in the military (Army and National Guard), I'm a 911/police/fire dispatcher, and a single mom of 3 teens, 2 dogs and 2 cats.

After a major setback in life, I am ready to get on with my life. Making small changes, a little at a time.

Here we go - AGAIN!

    Here's what I can say about what I do:

    I haven't been logging my food here on spark lately. I keep a tablet on my kitchen counter and go from there.
    First thing i did was to list all the healthy foods i like, have in stock, etc. Broken down by category, protein veggie, fruit, etc. and then put the calories next to it by serving size. Kinda like a spreadsheet with each day having a column of its own. and as you go thru the day you make a note of the food and cals, and this lets you do a quick tally on what you've eaten and what you have left for the day, calorie-wise.

    I eat tons of fruit and veggies. the only 'hard carb' I eat is my Sara lee delightful wheat bread (45 cal a slice), except for the wheat bread on my subway sandwhiches, which i do often too. I already know the cals and its easy way to eat out and not have to stress on where to go.

    water water water water.....did i say water!

    In the last two weeks i've done more exercise then I did all of last year. I pretty much lost the first 50 pounds with food control and being a little more active. Now i've kicked it up a notch exercise-wise and have lost another 15.

    feel free to ask me q's or whatever you need. Welcome Back!

    Hey girlie!! I am soooo happy to hear from you. I have made steady progress but it has not been easy. Not at all. I think what has kept me going is constant exercise. If I didn't go to the gym I probably would have flaked out myself. I am cheap that way..pay and get your money's worth. I have lost 28 pounds so far and feel much better but still realize that I am light years away from success. But I am trying. It is a constant battle, that's for sure. It is 80 degrees today and windy. I want some COLD weather. (smile) Hope to hear from you soon. Welcome Back!!

    Welcome back! I missed you.
    Yep, can't believe i'm in the 40's now, seems impossible, especially starting out at over 300 pounds. I have a little under 100 (or 100 would be cool too) left, so I'm right there with you and if we stick to it, we WILL get there!
    Glad you logged on!
