Self-motivation is the key to success

I recently had a setback in my life. Now I found the key to success. Self-motivation is the only way. You can have loyal friends that help along the way and I have several @ Spark People. I am the one that has to decide where I want to be and how I am going to get there.
I know that every challenge begins with a single step, the one getting out of bed every day. I challenge myself to love myself, love others and above all do what I love best.

I know that every challenge begins with a single step, the one getting out of bed every day. I challenge myself to love myself, love others and above all do what I love best.
I have to start by taking care of myself. I have to eat healthy and move my body EVERY DAY.
No more self pity, no excuses. I will motivate myself by giving myself rewards for each 10 pounds lost. I will not eat "outside the box" no matter what. I am in control of the destiny that the Lord has provided for me, I will listen to him and rejoice for each day.

Member Since: 5/25/2009

SparkPoints: 20855

SparkAmerica Minutes: 21060

My Goals:
lose 145 pounds by my birthday in 2010.
Get healthier even if I can't lose that much weight.
work on cardio every day
work on strength training three days a week


My Program:
I started May 25th and I began with nutrition goals.
I added fitness on day 2 I started walking a mile a day.
I slowly added more walking time and was given a Y membership for my anniversary on June 15th.
Now I use a treadmill and the pool every day I am able.
I just upped my treadmill minutes to 60/6 days a week
I do water jogging a minimum of an hour 6x a week.
I track everything I eat, I am working on getting in enough calories in proper proportion.

Personal Information:
I am from Wausau,Wisconsin, born and raised in Janesville. I am a mom of 6 a grandmother of 11. I need to get healthy for so amny reasons and they are too nurmerous to list. The main one is that my brother died@46 and my father died @63 of massive coronaries. My two older brothers have both had heart attacks, so I am very afraid. I also had a grandmother die of a stroke and one in a diabetic coma, so watching my weight maybe beginning late but better late than never.

Other Information:
I love to quilt, crochet,cross stitch and to read. I crochet for HAP which provides afghans for those service personnel wounded in the current war. I love mysteries and most authors that write them.

I read on the WATP huddle that you were exasperated today. I thought I'd stop by to wish you a better day tomorrow.

Thank you for commenting on my blog! It is good to have suport of my spark family after such a stressful situation. I feel partially responsible since I KNEW how she would be. Part of me keeps hoping that she will change, but she will always be self centered. Oh well. I get to see my mom and dad tomorrow and that will make everything less stressful.

Thanks for the goodie and page comment! I'm so glad to have that first 100 off my bod! I was able to grab a few "new" old shirts out of the closet to put into rotation. The Mr took about 30 pieces of clothes that are too big just in the past 2 months and added about 15 "new" old clothes from the closet! He's the incredible melting man! LOL
