Starting to read Codependednt No More was a SERIOUS turning point and helped me get re-engaged for my fitness journey.

Reality Check - Coming Clean

It is always important to take some time and look at your goals and determine if what you are doing is going to help you reach them or be the beginning of another excuse why you didn't reach them... I have fallen into the excuse category... Head first, down to my ankles, in a muck and mire of... bad choices. I can't even bring my self to call them excuses or reasons. I am an adult and I have made some bad choices. I thought I needed to work for someone else, I interviewed and received 2 job offers, I accepted the part time job because I was attracted to the schedule. What I didn't consider what the work was not a good fit for me in my life right now. I just didn't not have the multi-tasking ability to move successfully through the program at the speed the company expected. (Even if those expectations where not fully clear to me at the time.) I was heart broken when they thanked me for my time and offered to provide a good reference for me for a future opportunity with...

One day at a time...

One day at a time, that is really all we can do... Each day we are faced with choices. Each of those choices bring their own set of consequences. I feel really good about yesterday! I made good choices and walked through the day with a level of awareness that had been previously absent. While at my Mother-in-laws house, lunch was "mystery meat" hot dogs and chips. I ate peaches (they were the size of a golf ball) and an apple. #Boom In the past I would have downed 2 dogs and vowed to do better next time... Well, my fridge is stocked with salads that I prepared, yogurt, carrots, celery, and fruit. Today I will spend a good part of the day preparing my daughters' favorite meals...

Faith in the Process & Butt kickings from friends

On July 23rd, I had a physical... I hadn't had one in a LONG time, just didn't see the need. I am overall healthy, I don't have any aches or pains (that I fully acknowledge) that keep me from doing most of the things I want to do... for the most part. My fasting blood work reflected what I have long believed, "I am the healthiest 'BIG' girl there is!" Blood glucose shows no signs of Diabetes or High Cholesterol. Blood pressure what not even mentioned when we chatted. The ONLY red flag is my 366 lb size... the ONLY one. That's the good news and the bad news... After the appointment, I reflected on my overall health. I do have a few aches, nothing major... just a little challenging to turn over in the bed sometimes... a few aches in my back sometimes... What if, I could have more energy... what if I could NOT have those aches, what IF I could sleep better?!? I made and appointment to see a nutritionist, Aug 14th... what am I going to do unt...
