Slow but Steady Wins the Race

I am the queen of weight loss without a doubt. Oh yes, I have lost hundreds of pounds over the years and still find myself back at my heaviest weight. How can that be? I am tired of continually regaining the weight which I have lost and need to make some permanent life style changes.

I am the queen of weight loss without a doubt. Oh yes, I have lost hundreds of pounds over the years and still find myself back at my heaviest weight. How can that be? I am tired of continually regaining the weight which I have lost and need to make some permanent life style changes.
The journey has begun!!! I committed to improved healthy eating habits, joined a gym for the first time in my life, and signed up with Spark People for motivation. Already it's proven to be quite a journey. First day at the gym I learned that when I hit the wall it doesn't mean to stop but pushing through the wall brings results. I have learned that childhood experiences don't have to define who I am. No they don't. Having always been unable to do any situps I just accepted that I have weak abdominal muscles and I just am not built to do sit ups. Here 40 plus years later I learn that I can do situps. Really!!!
I am looking forward to learning what other barriers wait to be broken.

My son needed all the cookies for school. Told me about it when I got home from work at 730 pm! But he says bringing homemade cookies makes him popular. This recipe has 7 eggs, 5 sticks of butter, 5 bags of chips, 3 pounds of sugar. I just licked a little off the beater!

We used to get out around the second week of June, but we got a new superintendent and he started backing up the date each year. That included the start of the school year. We started August 16 this year and were supposed to be out May 22. It is weird because everybody else starts and ends later than us. Oh well.
Thanks for your belief in me. I am doing really well with my new eating habits. I have tried really hard to make good, healthy choices most of the time and allow myself to have a treat occasionally. Why I was frustrated by the doughnut was that I had said no to it all day the day before and most of that day, but by the end of the day I just caved. They had so many yummy things for us. Oh well. Like I said, I got back on track and just moved forward. So it's all good.
Thanks again. emoticon

I just noticed that you are from British Columbia. Victoria is one of my favorite places on earth. I took my son there for a vacation when he was about 10. We went to Buchart Gardens and all of the museums that we could fit in. You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful area.

Thanks so much for your continual encouragement, Maria! You don't know how much it means to me to have your cheery comments on my feed, pics, page and blogs!!!

I've got to go in HIGH GEAR, just 29 days 'till THE WEDDING!!! I've got an evening gown to fit into...just tried it on again today and if they still sold corsets...I'd buy one! lol

I love your feed update, " The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places." I JUST CAN"T PARK 'till after June 8th!

Have a GREAT day, Maria!
