| February 13,2001 Went to my first weight watchers meeting. The meeting was interesting and informative. Ive learned how to count my food in points and Im allowed so many points for my weight. February 14,2001 Happy Valentines Day. No candy or dining out for me today. Ive started my points diet and..Well Its hard. But I'm assured that it will get easier. Work was difficult. Trying to space out what I eat and when so I'm not hungry all day. February 15,2001 Well Ive found that if I drink a coke it really hurts in my allowed points. Im allowed 28-33 points per day. A coke is 3 points. So I have resorted to the most horrible think Ive ever had to drink and thats COFFEE!!!!! Yuck!!! Coffee is a freebie and I needed the caffine to get rid of the withdraw headache that Ive had for two days. February 16,2001 Thank Goodness its Friday. This week has really been hard for me. But I made it to the weekend. Things have improved..I dont feel so hungry all the time. I actuall didnt use all my points and banked a few for a party that my husband and I are going to. So I can enjoy myself and not feel a bit guilty. February 17,2000 Well today was a great day. I woke up at 5:00am thanks to the dog jumping on my head to let me know HEY MOM...Its time to go outside. I ate breakfast and had a cup of coffee...yuck!! I did some laundry and was on the computer most of the day working on this site. I had banked alot of food points through the week so I could enjoy myself when my husband and I went to our party,however things never quite go the way you planned. I became sick...so we didnt get to go out. My son had his little girlfriend over and they played very nicely in his room. We ordered pizza for dinner...and let me tell you I had a coke and 2 slices of pizza and it tasted SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!! and I still had left over points to use, so as a snack I had a dish of light ice cream. Ive drank so much water in the past week you could probably fill the tub with it. All in all it was a really good day. February 18,2001 Well it was another good day as far as the diet was concerned..I wasnt really too hungry today.I ate a light breakfast and dinner. I had no lunch. Today was the Daytona 500 race and as I watched the race hoping the my driver MR Dale Earnhardt would win the race, His life was tragicly taken. Dale was a big part of my life for 10 years. Although I never met him in person,He visited me every weekend for 10 years. He death had left a large void in the Nascar Family and Dale Earnhartd will truely be missed. With that being said, eating is not important right now....Tears and sleep will help the healing process to begin. We lost a wonderful man and a great Race car driver today and I know that the races will never be the same. February 19,2001 Well today was a good day. I think that the shock of Dales death has finally hit home and it was very hard for me to concentrate on work today. I wasnt in the mood to eat so that did help. Im determinde not to give up on this though. Food was a comfort to me and now I have to deal with my losses the good ole' fashion way. Ill work through the loss and hopefully the pain will ease as time goes on...however I dont think that watching a race will be a part of my life for quite some time. Rest is calling and well..Im exhausted. February 20,2001 Well Its Tuesday and I have my first weigh in tonight after starting at weight watchers. I know Ive lost weight I just don't know how much. I dont keep a scale at home so I have to rely on the weight watchers scale. Work went well,Im still mournign the loss of Dale Earnhardt and havent really eaten to much just enough to keep me going. Im off to my meeting now. Ill be back in an hour. Well the results are in. I thought Id lose at least 3 or 4 pounds but was really suprised when I was told I lost a total of 5 1/2 pounds. All Right for me!!!!! Now I know I can do this. Thanks for all the support. February 21,2001 Was another great day. It gets easier everyday. I dont even use up all my points. Im hoping in the mext two months to lose a total of 25 pounds. That would be wonderful. Now I have to go eat , Im starving. Havent eaten since 12.30 and its now 6.30pm. Good Night. February 22,2001 I'm staying home from work today. MSNBC is televising the services for Dale Earnhardt and I was to video tape them. Ill cry ,and mourn,and hopefully be able to move on and continue to watch racing. I wrote a poem dedicated to him on my other web page if youd like to read it. Go to www.maxpages.com/donnamarie. February 24,2001 We decided to take a trip to Tioga county to see my mother. It was a great visit and I did really great on my diet. i was able to eat and enjoy myself and not feel a bit guilty. February 25,2001 We left my mothers in order to be home in time to tape the first race after the death of Dale Earnhardt. The race was posponed due to rain,but not before his son Dale Jr. crashed and was out of the race. I felt so bad for him. I was really routing for him. February 27,2001 Well had my next weight watchers meeting. I lost another 31/2 pounds. Thats a total of 11 so far. Hoorrraaayyy for me!!!!! May 29,2001 Sorry its been so long since my last entry. Summer is here and things are very busy again. If you check my progress chart you'll find that as of May 29,2001 I have lost a total of 24 pounds. This has been an very tough struggle for me. But with the love and support of the friends I have I can do anything. My son loves the new me. The hugs are alot tighter and we ride bikes and swim and go on weekend advertures to Hersheypark or to Baltimore or to see Pop Pop in New Jersey. This journey so far has been a hard one , but well worth it. I feel better and god knows I look better. By the end of summer I want to have lost at least 40 pounds total. And I know I can do this. |
