So for the last couple of weeks... I have been battling my weight and my love for food. Yesterday I got on the scale... I lost another pound... Which wouldn't seem like a big feat for most, but it's edging me towards where I want to be. Thus far since about January 19th I have lost about 7-12 pounds.. The reason for not having an accurate number is that I didn't have a scale in my house when I went to the doctor and I was weighing in at 215, but I took off 5 pounds for clothing.. SO that means I was 210... Still I waited about 2 weeks to get a scale.. Starting at 207. Now I am at 200... I slide past 200 after the hurricanes that hit here. I was doing ok... Semi Ok. I moved here in Dec 2004 and was around 185 and then the pounds started creeping on. But the hurricane left me eating fast foods since I didn't have electricity for about a month total last year (2005). Anyways.. The doctor was like, you're 50 pounds overweight.. What are you going to do.. I had already bought a treadmill so I started walking about 7 times a week.. What happens is that Spark People has taken into account my weight, dietary needs, and says i have to walk for 30 minutes and burn 238 calories 5 times a week.. I've been trying to walk twice a day.. Almost there...

Anywho... 200 pounds I stand. Which is ok.. I don't mind at all. I need to walk and eat better..170 by June... I'm a little behind but I will make it close.


This weekend though.. I have been going hog wild on a soup that I cooked...


Pho......






Ok that's a stock photo.. My pho is darker and tastier.... Way more so...
