Figured it was time for an update. Since the last update posted, I realized how bad I was during the holidays. I have taken the necessary steps (in my book) to change my wicked ways..hahahaha Well atleast I am back on the wagon again, pursuing the life style changes that I need to make, one step at a time! I am surrounding myself with positive friends and my mind has begun to yearn more and more for healthy ideas! I am reading everything I can get my hands on concerning healthy living and exercising, which leads me to say that there are some pretty amazing people here at SP! Always giving of themselves, their time, energy and info to all the wanna-bes, gonna-bes and the likes of me!! I am so thankful for everything that they provide! I am also so proud of the new-found friends that I have met on here that inspire me to keep pushing!!! You guys rock!!
Well I guess I have chewed your ears long enough for now. So now I gotta get busy planning my exercise schedules and what I can now nourish my body with!! See. Always thinking healthy, healthy, healthy!!!!! And I like it!!! ļ

GO LACEY GO!!!!

UPDATE: 1/2/10
So much for the holidays!!! I was so bad again!!! I really havent exercised or watched my portions since I was sick in November with pneumonia!! Now I have just had a reality check with my scale....OH NO!!! I'VE DONE IT AGAIN....Why do I let this happen???
I was doing so good....then bam, no double BAM....Gained back almost half of what I had lost!!!
Gotta get myself back on track.....just gotta figure out where to start again!!! I keep telling myself that I know how to do this, so why cant I stay motivated and on track????
There has gotta be a light at the end of this tunnel somehow!!
Time to start over again....Time to let the athlete in me surface again....Time to believe in myself and make these healthy life changes!!
ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO!!!!! And dont look back ya hear!!!

GO LACEY GO!!!!

UPDATE TIME: 10/16/09
Reunion came and went..had a blast...didnt really lose any significant amount of weight.......still holding at 40 pounds lost
in Plateau City!!!! Tired of this town and ready to move on to Better Horizons!!! Now where's my map??? Its time to roll......

Gotta kick it in gear again...maybe I just need someone or something to kick me in the rear instead...LOL!!!


Wow....where has the last 30 years gone since graduation????
I have my 30 year reunion coming up in October and I have refused to let any of my classmates see me this way!!! I would not dare go to any of the other reunions for fear of what everyone would think of me!! In high school I was a super jockette of sorts...There wasn't any sport that I could not participate in...
I was more fit than most of the guys...I don't know when I became my own worst enemy....quit caring about me...But I know its time now to get a grip and do something about this for me!!

I know after all the attempts to lose and failures that I have experienced that I just can't do this alone!! Thank goodness for Sparkpeople!!!! I have met some very sweet people on here that are genuinely sincere in trying to help!! I read the Motivation pages daily....there is some really good advice on there! And it makes me feel that I am not alone on this journey!

I know I want this real bad...and I tell myself that I can do this!!!
Now is the time to just do it!!!!But do it right...therefore I am tryng to monitor my calories, what I eat and exercise,exercise.....
Thats the main factor that I have been missing all these years!
I can't believe that I have let myself get so sedentary in my ways!
Thats where the excuses begin! Well no more!!!!
I know that I am quite capable of doing this but I have always let outside interferences bring me down everytime! I have got to learn to say NO! And that its ok to say no!
I am ready to do this!!!! So why does my motivation keep slipping???

It's time for me to take contol of my body and make the changes necessary to achieve my goals for myself!!!!!

I know it won't be easy! And you have to take tiny steps first! But you have to be consistant and be committed to doing this for yourself! Cause no one can do it for you!!!!!

Well hello! Finally a light has clicked on and I see what I have become! And shame on me for letting it happen!!!!
So now its time for my body to get in-sync with my brain...
My brain knows that I have an inner athlete buried in there...somewhere.. waiting to explode and live life again!!!!

I am committing myself to achieving this goal 100%!!!!!

I prayed for guidance to attain this goal!!! I knew that I could not do this alone!!!! So I gave it to God!!!! And believe me He listens to us when we give it all to him!!!! He has led me to Sparkpeople!!
And all the wonderful people and advice that I need to achieve this goal!!!

My name is Lacey and I would love to hear from anyone stopping by my page with advice or just to say hello!!!!

So it's time for a change!!!!! C ya on our journey!!!!!!!!!
