I added pages to my blog last week. I am still in the learning stages of how to manage this site. I am not understanding how to blog on each of the pages. For instance, I wanted to add some photos. So I did as a test to see what page it would be added on. Well the photo ended up on this page and not the page I wanted it on. Bear with me as I learned how to do this. I'll make plenty of mistakes. It is probably so-oooooo simple that I will feel like stupid. Then come the next day I'll struggle with it again until this pea sized brain finally grasps it.
I also want to post the steak soup recipe. It was fabulous. My daughter W ate three cups of it at one sitting. So I will do that next. Then I will work on a article that I started for the website I do (Blogtolose). You can search for me by name in the search box. It is all about my journey to lose the weight that I have been carrying around for years and years. It is harder to lose the weight than it was to put it on (boy is that an understatement). I have 120 pounds left to lose.

A January Wednesday
What a beautiful day it has been today. Why have I spent it indoors? Why have I not gotten a walk in today? How did I spent this day? I have spent the day reading websites. I logged my points.
My website of choice today is: Ah...me so hongry
She is a fellow Blogspot. She was once large as I am now. Her humor makes me smile, a activity I do not do much of. Is this considered increasing my tribe? Afterall, she is not yet aware of me. To be a tribe member, does the other person have to be aware of you?
Disappointments: There are going to be those kind of days. Those type of days are unavoidable. So how can we embrace the day, to be the one in-charge and not let those days make us into a person we would rather not be, ie: grumpy, wanting to scarf up everything into our mouths? Perhaps the answer lies within ourself. For me, I will finish out the day getting out. Moving. That would be an improvement.
Today my WWP is 15. That will leave me 14 points for supper. My snack today was one of the 100 calorie Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Sticks. Total points for that is 3. I may start another blog that just catalogs what I eat, with the number of points. I also want to include favorite WW meals. As a former librarian very aware of copyright, will give credit. Several sites I visited today included recipes but did not tell the source. I will not be able to post the recipe but I can post the link to the page. You can decided to use it for your family but I would not post it to your blog.

A new year, a new post, resolutions not to drop
This is my first post for the new 2011 year. I have been pondering changes to this blog and the reasons for the changes. I would like to increase the traffic. I would like the blog to be more meaningful, more insightful and have useful information for people.
Resolutions: according to the dictionary.com site, a resolution is a mental resolve. Nearly all resolutions are for the betterment of ourself. Are we not mentally strong enough to keep these resolves? Why do we not keep them. Perhaps we make the wrong type of resolution? Perhaps we just need to change the focus of the resolution to one that is more attainable. I got this idea from another website: ronisweigh.com
I think she hit the right button proposing making a more reasonable and very attainable resolutions. She proposes not to make the resolution to lose so many pounds by some date. Roni says to "forget perfect" but commit to making "small changes".
So my first resolution will be to continue going to Weight Watcher meetings each week.
Next Roni talks about being accountable. Find a tribe, a group of like minded people with same goals who would encourage you. I have a small tribe. Two friends who pay for the meetings. That gives me a total of three best friends. I am so blessed to have friends that really care about me, my health.
That being said, my second resolution will be to grow my tribe through my blog. I will include my favorite Weight Watchers meals, website etc. But that is not to say that my blog is becoming only a WW blog. I am just sharing the things that are important to me.
In closing, I find that I have made two new year resolutions that are attainable. I have more to do for I want more than two. Taking small steps, one small step at a time.
