day 10

/ New Journey

Well day ten…I am at 1500 calories…doing okay…worked up a great sweat outside playing in the bricks and sand…LOL    I upped my calories as I was not able to stay at 1000 more than one or two days and then…..up they go….so I am going from 1200 to 1500, well lets say I am trying to stay in that range….

Another beautiful day in desert paradise….blue skies, no wind and the sun was doing her best to give us a sample of what’s to come…LOL   gonna be a warm summer according to everyone we speak to…I just checked Facebook and there are several pictures of the flooding going on back at home…

this is the road to a park where there are great walking paths…on the edge of town…

this is just about 3 miles from our house…no need to worry, this is a huge Laguna which always floods during the rain…looks worse than it is…but much more it will be over a major road to the west side of the county…..

  3. Can’t believe all that flooding. Amazing pictures. Sounds like you’re still winning the food battle. Never give in! I was gone a while as you know so I don’t know where you stand on joining the health club. Regardless, I know you have kept yourself moving and staying busy.

  5. Your pictures call to me – I am working on that visit so watch out, here I come! 1,000 calories is VERY light. The frustrating thing about weightloss (and yes, I was once over 100 lb heavier than I am now) is the plateauing. And the little raises from where you were because life got in the way. But eating 12-1,500 cals should see you shrinking nicely and you have your wordpress family egging you on and telling you truthfully that you ARE an inspiration 🙂 xx

      • YOu know, the hardest thing about moving here was continuity in exercise. First I had all the stuff I needed to do psychologically to adjust to being in a different time zone on a different continent and then I had the practicalities. For weeks I just ventured down the road to do a paltry mile and a bit walk on the flat (The Bean and I are used to doing rugged steep trails over 5-8 miles daily) with a few more miles walking with The Brains at weekends. I’ve been here since December 1 (with a tiny break back in Europe for Christmas) and I have only just started properly exercising again – gym twice weekly, running 4 days and resting 1. Give yourself a break honey-bun and it will all come together. And by the way – you ARE gorgeous 🙂 xxxx

      • Once upon a time I was an International rower and we weren’t allowed to run or jog on account of our precious knees. You’;; find your mojo if only because you will get tired of people like me being encouraging 😉 xx

      • good for her – rowing was once my absolute OBSESSION – my poor daughters spent their formative years on the river bank shouting ‘go mummy’ …. no wonder they chose independence 🙂
