October 11th my dad passed

December my brother & his wife are buying there first home and new years eve we are partying like it’s 1999

I hope everyone has a Happy Healthy 2008!!!!

I woke up this morning feeling unstoppable. Like nothing can stand in my way. I have so much energy a renewance of myself. Had a good healthy breakfast, some great conversation with my hubby and a check in on the forum and I feel ready to conqure all.

The scale does not read what I want it to this morning - I had a rough week and thats okay by me. I guess sometimes you gotta take a step back before you can go forward.

My hubby got this book for christmas and I found a quote I really like (it pertains to sports but I like it for weight loss)

“Leadership is getting someone to do what they don’t want to do, to acheive what they want to acheive” - Tom Landry

Have a great day!

So I have had a bit of rough days with the holidays and the loss of my dad so my eating has been horrible with little to no exercise. With all that said I m not quitting I am just going through some things some readjustments so to speak. I’ll be right back at my hard work in no time and on my way to my goal.

Just a bit of frustration inside of me and I am tryin to let it out - venting session.

I think of all the hard work I had put into my eating and exercising and I think of the 21lbs I lost and the 15inches gone & I can’t forget all the clothes that are tooo big.

QUITTNG IS NOT AN OPTION! See ya at the finish line.

As of today December 26, 2007 I have set a goal - a valentines day goal.

My goal is to loose 8lbs by valentines day. Wish me luck!

Starting weight as of this morning 198.8

Back on 12/14 I weighed in at 198 up 3.2lbs from the previous week and after speaking with my wonderful husband about how I felt he told me that anything is possible it’s all in how bad you want it. My mind got to wondering could I loose 9lbs in 11 days or would that be totally impossible and I put myself to the test.

9lbs is the 5lbs I wanted to loose by Christmas + the 3lbs I gained on 12/14’s weigh in. To loose 9lbs in 11 days I would have to loose .8lbs a day and here is my results ……

day 1 12/15 = 198.2

day 2 12/16 = 195

day 3 12/17 = 194.2

day 4 12/18 = 196.8

day 5 12/19 = 196.4

day 6 12/20 = 196.6

day 7 12/21 = 195

day 8 12/22 = 194.4

day 9 12/23 = 194

day 10 12/24 =196

day 11 12/25 = 196.6

The first 3 days of the 11 day test I was sick and then I fell off the wagontwo days ago dealing with christmas and the loss of my dad and it seems all I have done is eat & cry

So how did I do = 1.4 down

I tried yet did not succeed - this isn’t over this is only the beginning. God will get me through the holidays without my dad and then he will continue to get me through to my goal.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

and to all a Very Happy Healthy New Year.

 I want to say thank you to all of those who read my blog and a big thank you to those who comment and let me know when I am doing right and most definetly when I am not doing so well. You are keys to my success andfor that I say THANK YOU!

Went to the doc this morning and they think I have namonia so had to go do a chest xray. Seems theres always something.

 On the good news front I am down to 195 from last week.

Have a very busy day today as far as work and life in general. Seems like I am in a whirlwind.

Christmas is around the corner and at the office all kinds of goodies have been coming in like yesturday for instance I received a gift box of 10 count chocolates (chocolate is my weakness) and I ate the whole box. No it was not at one sitting yet through out my whole day at work.

So this brings me to ask are the chocolates the gift or are the lbs the chocolates will put on me the gift?

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!!!

I feel awesome today! Lastnight I watched the biggest loser finale, I have been following the show since day one. I did not have a favorite as I believe they are all winners - they look so great! I find the show very motivational it shows that I too can loose the weight.

My dh is a big motivation for me even though I know he loves me any way I come, he just seems to give me that push or that needed encouraging word right when I need it. He seems to always find the good when I see the bad.

What motivates you?

I woke up this morning feeling that stomach bug again which means I have ate lil to nothing all day nor do I even fel like eating anything.

Goin to the doc on Friday for a check up with me being sick these past two weeks with the cold & now the stomach bug I just want to make sure all is well.

I am really stressing today over christmas shopping for my husband - he told me a few things he wanted and then turned right back around and said he changed his mind and therefor left me with a blank list. So what do you buy someone who has everything? I would love the answer to that.
