Hey sweetie...OF COURSE it's ok to join. We would love to have you aboard. How have you been?
Rubyjan ~ Sounds like you had a great day and you are well on your way.
FSA ~ Did you get to sleep on time?
Jasonlea ~ Oh honey, don't get me started on Dell customer service. Had my puter a week and tried to call customer service, who by the way I couldn't understand, but then he went a step further to tell me, that my name wasn't registered to the computer and he couldn't help me, blah blah blah, and then the S.O.B hung up on me. So I can definitely relate. Good to see you back.

Day three ladies and every one is doing great.

I am up and almost down another pound. Today is my treadmill/strength training day, so I'm pumped. A little concerned about how I'm gonna mix in some high calorie days and still keep my 1000 calorie deficit on those days. But it's really been working for me and keeping my metabolism confused. I think I'll go for a high calorie day today since I'll have 105 minutes of exercise in today.
Yesterday, I was needing a boost around 2. My metabolism flat lined from then on. I had been out in the sun all day with the boys. Plus while they are out there swimming or what not, I'll do laps around my driveway, it's not much, but it keeps me moving..right? But I still had a good day. That hour of cardio really does wonders for my metabolism after I'm finished. It's like the energizer bunny until the lad needs to take a breather.
Did great on water, exercise and stayed on plan and don't see anything getting in my way at all. I can have a really bad day and still try to stay focused on my goals. I guess ever since Canaan came a long, I have been given this new found outlook on life, so when i want something and want it as bad as I do with the weightloss, no one can stop me. I'm too stubborn to fail. I will not give up. I will not let circumstance dictate my thoughts or moods. I will not succumb to temptation. I will not stop until I hit my goal! Period.
I know I'm rambling, but I'm waiting on my food to digest a bit so I can hop on the treadmill...so you guys are stuck with my uberlong post. So there!!
I understand not everyone has an easy time with weight loss, that many things can affect the way we feel daily and ultimately affect our journey. It's difficult and at times a pain in the butt, and you wanna throw in the towel, but if you REALLY want this, then don't let anything stop you. I got really discouraged that week I didn't lose a pound. All my hard work and calculations were worthless. Regardless, there was no way I was gonna do anything to jeopardize my progress. I figured it would straighten itself out, so I stayed on plan, stayed active on our threads and just concentrated on moving forward, even if I was at a standstill.
You have to ask yourself, do you really want this? Do you answer that question with a simple yes? Or can you give me a **** Yeah?

Ladies, we have one **** of a road of ahead of us. It will not be easy. However, if we do this together, it will make the journey, that much more easier. We can change, we can make it to the finish line, we WILL see our goals. We simply need to keep our focus, support each other on the good and bad days and we need to remember to enjoy life during the process. Remember your smile. Find your laughter. Focus on the positive and denounce the negative and never let a day go by, without taking a look in the mirror and telling yourself, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
I honestly believe each and every one of you can reach your goals if you are willing to endure the trials, move forward and work your butt off for it..hehe literally.
Alright, that's all the time I have. Time to go turn on the treadmill and pop in a movie and kick up some tread. You ladies have a superawesome day and whatever you do, don't forget your smiles.
