Want to Be Able to Run Up The Stairs, Like Rocky Did (without help or any huffing and puffing) ;0)

Greetings Everyone!

I underwent spine surgery for a major spine problem. Rods and screws were inserted into my spine to help keep my vertebrea from slipping into my spinal cord and cutting off my brain's signal telling my legs to walk. Losing my ability to walk, these past three years, and only now having had the chance to regain some mobility has taught me a great deal about life and how easy good health is to lose.

2012 is here!!

2012 is here!!
----I want to walk again, like an average person.
----I want to deal with my emotions without using food for comfort. After all, over-eating only makes things worse!
----I want to feel amazingly proud of myself for not letting a physical, painful problem keep me from being the best that I can be
----I want to be able to climb stairs or even run up them like Rocky did in the movie!! (yeah, Rocky).

There is not a living soul that benefits by carrying extra weight, or lack of exercise. So it's time for me to quit moaning and groaning, keep an amazing attitude, and just do it.

Wishing everyone here on Spark amazing success with their journey!!

Warm smiles ;0)

Hey girlfriend! Checking in to see how you are doing. I don't know if you got my text message the other day. I used the phone number you gave me several months back.

My phone number is on the cell phone "Spark goodie" message if you want to text me.

I do want to work on losing 65 lbs. with you. I started tracking my food today and will do my exercise.

I am trying to think positive. At least I am not starting this again back at 300 lbs. Plus, I have more stamina for exercise than I did before.

Let's try and lose 5 lbs. by 4-30-13. I also have a goal of completing a 10K within 6 months.

If we lose 10 lbs. a month we will reach our goal of losing 65 lbs. by November 1st!!!

Let's get started today! WE CAN DO IT! WooHoo!

Yes!!! Let's text once a day to encourage each other. I am desperate! I have gained 8 more pounds back!

My poor food choices have left me feeling tired, depressed and craving more sugar and carbs which add to the problem/cycle.

I need to stay in contact with someone else so I don't just hide and continue my path of self-destruction!I now need to lose 70 lbs. by 12/31/13 to reach my goal of being under 200 lbs. by 2014.

It is still possible for me to do this but, time is ticking by and I don't want to be 300 lbs. again. If I don't get this addiction under control...I will be back where I started and I fear my depression will be more than I can bear.

I am wearing my workout clothes now and plan to walk on my treadmill...there...I made a commitment to you to get up and walk today!

I am also going to get a big bag and load it with all the sugary snacks and simple carbs I have in the pantry. I don't want any of it out in front of me any more! I have been in a sugar and carb induced coma for months now and I am sick of it!

I appreciate your support more than you know. I have been drowning here....I get my head above water for a breath and sink back down. It is time for me to ask for a life preserver.

I can't do this alone and I have to make effort to save myself because no one is going to come to my house and turn on my computer for me.

I am going to save my own life by letting my Sparkfriends help me and in the process, I can help them save their lives as well.

We CAN do this! Just sent you a text...Let's get going! WooHoo!

p.s. I did the 5K race with a sore heel. I walked most of it and finished in 59 minutes. I ran at the end and hurt my heel again. I could hardly walk back to the car afterwards but, I was happy that I made the effort to go to the race and finish. It was my friend's first 5K and we are planning another one as soon as my foot heals. Next 5K I would like to run most of it and finish in 40 minutes or less.

I am sooo sorry that I haven't been around to support you! I have been trying to deal with family drama and a foot injury. I turned to food instead of getting the support I needed.

Now I am trying to heal physicaly and get my head back in the right mindset to lose weight.

I am upset with myself to choosing to eat to deal with stress. I know that I am hurting myself but, I keep repeating this pattern.

I hurt my heel doing Zumba three weeks ago and had to stop. Now I have also hurt my shoulder and I am in a lot of pain.

I plan to do the 5K race on Saturday but, have not been able to train due to my heel. I don't know if I will be able to finish the race but, I am going to try anyway. I really wanted to be able to do my best but, now I just want to be able to finish it.

I would like to get back to losing weight. I have a big goal this year of losing 65 lbs. I need to get going!

I would like to get back to supporting each other on this journey. I don't want to keep giving up on myself. I know I can do this if I stay focused.

I hope you are doing well. Texting may be a good way to keep connected even when I try to give up on myself by not logging on SP.

Hugs.

Thank you so much for your wonderfully sweet comments on my pictures!! You look so familiar and I thought we were friends, but I added you today. :)

I look forward to encouraging each other on this journey! :)
