Not a good day!

Sunday, December 02, 2007


Well, I made a brisket, beans, cole slaw, corn dish, and 2 cheese cakes for my husband's men's chorus today. Our little house accomodated us - but it was a tight squeeze. I got to listen to them rehearse for their concert while I cooked. Anyway - I am very tired.

I did not exercise today - I feel bad. I partook in a pity party for lunch. Our house deal fell through and we found out this morning. We are stuck here longer - and I am trying to look at the positive. So - I junked out on LJS for lunch. THEN - I ate cake, real Dr. Pepper, and chips tonight and my calories were over. My stomach now hurts - so the pity party was NOT worth it!

Tomorrow I have to find a new spark in my life. The past few days I have become sadder and less motivated. I have plateaued the past couple of weeks. I am happy with my body - but it is frustrating. I say I am in this to be healthy - but of course the back of my mind wants to lose weight. So when I don't I think - is this really worth it. Then it becomes a downward spiral, and I start to loose control. I know I have to get control really fast or all this will be for naught.

    Sorry to hear that the house deal fell through and you have been in a plateau for a couple of weeks. Stress and good food and exercise choices sometimes don't go well together. Unfortunately, not eating well and skipping exercise would usually make me feel even worse. The important thing is to get back on track as soon as possible before bad habits start setting in. Even baby steps such as a 10-minute walk as exercise can help bring a more positive mood. Ang, please remember that you lost 25 pounds since joining SP just a little over 2 months ago. That's amazing progress! It shows your dedication and diligence. Everyone hits a rough patch every now and then. You will get back on track and start making progress again. Tomorrow is a new day of new opportunities to make positive changes. You can do it!

    I know how hard this journey is but let me tell you straight up it is worth it. I'm sorry you didn't get the house you wanted - just means a better one is out there waiting for you but don't let that get you off track on this journey - or else you will be like me - I was 57 before I got wise and decided it was time to start living a healthier lifestyle. You can do this - yes, it is hard and there are lots of days when it seems like it is just toooooo much work but believe me the end result is all worth every bit of blood, sweat and tears it took to get there. You can do this!

    I think of this journey not as a race for speed, but a test of endurance. Consistency is key!

    How true, just like the fable of the Tortoise and the Hare. Unfortunately most of us want to be more like hares. We want our results NOW.

Leave your mark

Friday, November 30, 2007


Even the smallest creatures can leave their mark on this world. Leave your mark today.

And after examining the full size picture once I added this entry - WATCH OUT for the smallest creatures. Don't run over them in your rush through life! Take time to admire them for their beauty!

    You find the weirdest pictures! I think that person (can't even tell if it's a man or a woman" REALLY overdid it with the veggies! LOL If people think that I'm some sort of nut for laughing hysterically in the produce section the next time I go grocery shopping, I'll just refer them to your blog. LOL

    I love the picture. I don't think I have to worry about over doing it on veggies. I am increasing the amount I'm eating. I tend to go for spinach salads.
