This always happens...

Saturday, May 15, 2010

I start off to a good way in my food tracking and exercising everyday..then one day I do not fell like doing this or that,,I feel like the energy has been sucked out of me..alway tired draging around...been slipping up fro the past two weeks already gained 2 pounds..feeling kinda depress and all that for no reason at all...still been logging in..I want to so much get that motivation back but I can"t... maybe it's stress from work and at home half two boys one with adhd and a 5 yr old..I am trying to get some me time but can not find a slot...I work 8 hrs and I cook at home for them...
today I started off good but then again down hill..eating candies ..made some lasagna a recipe for Sparks and some banana nut bread.. when I feel like this I cook and bake...I gonna sit later on and work out a menu to follow next week..
I want to start walking again...felt better when I was walking all of the sudden I stopped and today I woke up with aches and pains...the were gone when I was moving ....
I write here and there some people motivate me but need some help to keep on...Thanks to gucci momma she seem to feel when I am going down hill she wrote today asking what is wrong that I have not been active on my teamsthat is what got me thinking and getting on the ball again.. but asking now why does this always happen to me....

I here you girlfriend. I find I need to get up earlier than everyone else in the household. Whether it be just for me time (sparkspeople teams) and then I ALWAYS slot time to exercise. Exercise could be as simple as going for a walk around the block. You CAN ALWAYS find time for yourself. Pick a time and let everyone else know that you need this time for yourself I'm here for you.

Its life!!! Sometimes we just need to take a step back and realize what we love about our lives. I got a real slap across the face when my dad, my best friend, and my grandma all died in the same year. I used to always be able to go with the flow. Carpe Diem, seize the day. I had lost that for a while. Now whenever I get an opportunity to spend time with the people I love I run to do it. It makes my life complete. What you are talking about really happens to everybody. I would recommend a couple of things 1)Love the skin you are in. You don't have to be thin to loveable and sexy. Look at Queen Latifa. She is a hottie right? 2)Try to stay positive and optimistic. So, much of everything is mental it is crazy. Some things that I have been doing lately is buying stuff to eat that is already on the go type stuff. Individual cottage cheese, individual yogurt. This helps me not really have to think about the serving sizes and I can really just grab and not have to think about if it is okay because I already know it is. Anyways stick to it. Don't give up.

We all have those days, but you are in control. You realize you have messed up, and you now have the power to steer yourself back on course. Don't beat yourself up, this is a minor blip on the radar... you can do this!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Don't beat yourself up. We all have days we would prefer to forget. The important thing is to move on from that. Tomorrow is a new day. Maybe you just needed a break for a day. Just don't let it defeat you. As Chris said in The Spark, "One step back, two steps forward." Look at today as a day in your rearview mirror and move ahead again. Report Inappropriate Comment

I reached a mini goal...

Friday, May 07, 2010

Today was my youngest son's graduation.. he going to kinder..well I got everything ready for him his cap and gown.. my older son's clothes and shoes..my husband's clothes all ready and ironed..then when it came to me I forgot that in my closet nothing fits ..everything been tight..I even had a dress that I brought years ago and liked it so much I did not throw it away because I keep saying someday..have a closet full of shoes too.. high heals but its been a while since I put one on always felt out of balance ..well I opened the door and started to look around..I took out that dress ... and continue to look at some pants black..but looked back at the dress it was summery looking great for the occasion colorful...I said to myself well I will try it if it does not fit I will wear the black pants...I slipped it on and it did not feel tight not even at the boobs..I was amazed.. I put on my heels and did not feel out of balance I felt like a million bucks..I put on some make up and the youngest said Mom is that you because I have never seen you so beautiful ..that got to my heart...then at the graduation he held my hand and introduced me to all his friend so proud and witha big smile... so with that being said I have reached two mini goals one to fit into my favorite dress and the other making my son proud of me...
This has given me great motivation and determination to continue in the path that I am going.. I feel proud of myself and you know pretty too!!

I have signed up for a challenge that for the month of May I would weekly walk 20 miles..so I am getting there..I have never in my life for filled a challenge ..I always start that drop it but not this time I am not bored...I am making it a top of the llist no buts about it thing.. I walk at different places so that I will not get bored.. I walk the treadmil in front of the tv..I walk the neighborhood with my son..I go to the park and play either soccer or tennis with my son.. I do 100 sit ups daily as well as strength..then my last resort is the wii play a couple of games with the family on the weekend making it competition night... I do that so they won't watch so much tv..so what I am saying is that my life has changed for the better..I now am always looking for some exercise to slip in for me and my family..looking into hiking.. we will see... before I did not care except to take a bath and put my pj and in front of the tv at 4 in the afternoon..
