OP Day 2 (yes, another one!)
Made it through another on-plan day. No exercise yet. I’m feeling very exhausted…mentally and physically. I recognize the symptoms well. I have a major case of sugar withdrawal! I’m hoping to start feeling a bit better tomorrow, however, it’s normally 3-4 days before that spark and pep comes back into my body.
Spent some time reading the maintainer’s thread today. What an inspiring bunch of “losers!” I really want to join their ranks. I must remember to drop in there for a bit of reading when I’m feeling the pull to allow an off-plan meal, day, weekend, etc. and I need a boost to my mojo.
Received an e-mail from the Georgia Ovarian Cancer Organization. They are looking for volunteers to speak at meetings, conventions, etc. The e-mail said they will provide the training. I’m very interested and will have to do some praying and thinking about it. I enjoy speaking in front of people, but I’m not sure that I’m a very inspirational or motivational speaker. The e-mail also brought news of a walk scheduled six months from now. The walk is to raise awareness and funds for research. I’m excited about joining the walk, too. Not sure how much money I can raise as I’m also trying to raise money for the Relay for Life walk in May, but I’m going to try. Every little bit will help.

Reading the maintainers page is a great idea for motivation. After all, if they can do it why can’t we? Hang in there and welcome back!

I really need motivation myself. Not really motivation for exercise, because I have been doing that. Its the food thats killing me. Why cant I go back to eating the way I had been?

I need to go to that maintainers and goal thread again. It is really inspiring. In what capacity will you be speaking? Provider? Caretaker? Survivor? The Cancer Society is near and dear to my heart due to my mother’s cancer. I go the the Relay for life every year. I love it when the survivor’s walk around the track. I clap like crazy!
