DAY 98 NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

Tuesday, April 09, 2013

DAY 98 NEW YEAR RESOLUTION 100 DAY WEIGHT LOSS.
I usually don't do them but I did for this exercise.

THIS EXERCISE INVOLVED IS A VISION WHEN I REACH MY WEIGHT GOAL

I NOW WEIGHT 150 .

I AM PLEASED WITH , THE WAY I LOOK AND FEEL IN MY CLOTHES.

MY BODY FEELS MORE HEALTHIER, MY MUSCLES ARE TONED, MY ENERGY LEVEL IS UP.

I AM EXERCISING 45-60 MINS 5 TO 6 DAYS A WEEK. I AM LIFTING WEIGHTS TWICE A WEEK working on it!

I HAVE LEARNED THAT I CAN BEND WITHOUT BREAKING. TO USE FOOD FOR FUEL FOR MY BODY. PRAYER OVER MATTERS I CAN NOT CONTROL, AND DISTRACT MYSELF WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES. I CAN TAKE A 10 MIN BREAK FROM STRESSFUL SITUATIONS--BY DOING PILATES AND SIPPING TEAS. I AM LEARNING TO NOURISH MY BODY WITH FOOD NOT MY EMOTIONS.

Never Quit Pledge!

Friday, April 05, 2013

Saw this on one of my Sparkfriends Blogs.

Today, I promise I will not quit.
I pledge that no matter, how many ups and downs I pass through, I will continue on my journey.
I pledge to make a NEW START today, and forgive myself for my past, and to stop being so critical of myself.
I pledge to take control of myself, to stop making excuses, and stop blaming other people or situations.
I pledge to treat myself as I would my best friend, because that is who I am.
I pledge to stay in the race and to be a WINNER!


Will you blog and post the Never Quit Pledge, today/soon?


(who will take this pledge with me)

DAY 91 THUR DAY 93 100 DAYS OF WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE

Wednesday, April 03, 2013

DAY 91 OBESITY IS A CONDITION

LIKE MOST DIETERS YOU CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR PROGRAM TO END.

YOU THINK ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU'LL REACH YOUR GOAL WEIGHT AND NOT HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT ANY MORE. WELL THAT CAN NOT HAPPEN. YOU CAN'T IGNORE OBESITY.

SIDE NOTE: THE AUTHOR COMPARES OBESITY TO DIABETES...SOMETHING A DISAGREE WITH!! BOTH OBESITY AND DIABETES NEED TO BE MONITORING AND THIS MEANS WORK!

MANAGE YOUR----- WELL SHE CALLS IT A CONDITION. I DISAGREE WITH THIS TOO. TRUTH IS IF YOU ARE OVER WEIGHT AND WANT TO SHEAD THE WEIGHT THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO MANAGE YOUR FOOD INTAKE AND EXERCISE.

EVEN AFTER YOU REACH YOUR WEIGHT GOAL YOU WILL HAVE TO MONITOR YOUF FOOD INTAKE AND EXERCISE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE OR THE WEIGHT WILL RETURN. YOU WILL GAIN IF YOU DO NOT STAY ON GUARD DURING THE HOLIDAYS ETC. YOU ARE RISK OF REGAINING THE WEIGHT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. YOU HAVE TO EXCEPT THE FACT YOU WILL HAVE TO WATCH WHAT YOU EAT AND MOVE. SHE SUGGESTS THAT YOU EXCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE OBESE. I DISAGREE WITH THAT. YOU CAN WORK TOWARD NOT BEING OBESE. AS FAR AS DIABETES...YOU CAN WORK TOWARD BEING IN CONTROL OF THE DISEASE BY EATING AS YOUR DR SUGGESTES, EXERCISE AND TAKE YOUR MEDS. IN SOME CASES AND YOUR BEST EFFORT YOU MAY STILL HAVE COMPLICATIONS ETC. BUT I PLAN ON GIVING IT MY BEST SHOT TO STAY AHEAD OF IT. WITH GODS HELP OF COURSE.

DAY 92 ACCEPT THE SOLUTION

YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT YOU'LL BE EATING HEALTHIER AND EXERCISING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

WHAT YOUR PLAN??

YOU ARE CHOOSING TO MANANGE YOUR WEIGHT LONG TERM NO MATTER HOW THOSE AROUND YOU EAT!! IF WEIGHT LOSS IS YOUR GOAL THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO ADOPT A WAY OF LIFE THAT GOES WITH IT.

TO MANAGE YOUR WEIGHT LOSS LONG TERM YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE TO APPLY CERTAIN GUIDELINES AND BOUNDARIES AROUND YOUR FOOD INTAKE.

THIS INCLUDES DEVELOPING AN EXERCISE ROUTINE THAT WORKS IN ALL OF THE SEASONS. WHEN THE HOLIDAYS ROLL AROUND YOU'LL HAVE AN IRON CLAD PLAN OR STRATERGY TO HELP YOU GET THUR THIS TIME.

WITH YOUR DECISION TO LIVE HEALTHIER YOU'LL HAVE UP AND DOWN TIMES. TO BE SUCCESSFUL OVER THE LONG TERM YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO MONITOR WHAT YOU EAT AND KEEP ACTIVE.


DAY 93 20 YEAR PLAN--GOD WILLING! I'LL BE 72 BY THEN....

PLAN HOW YOU'LL EXERCISE, EAT AND CARE FOR YOUR EMOTIONAL NEEDS DAILY.

TURN THIS PLAN INTO A LONG TERM BLUPRINT YOU'LL FOLLOW EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

1. I TEND TO HAVE GOOD DAYS AND NOT SO GOOD DAYS CONCERNING FOOD. I NEED TO TRY NEW VEGGIES AND DEVELOPE WAYS TO MAKE THEM TASTY. I LOVE FRUIT AND THEY ARE NOT A PROBLEM. BUT I HAVE TO BE ON GUARD CONCERNING THEM AND GUAGE HOW MY B/S GO. EXAMPLE---- I KNOW BANANAS DO A REAL NUMBER ON MY B/S SO A DO NOT EAT THEM. I LEARNED THAT THEY DO HELP WHEN I AM HAVING A LOW BLOOD SUGAR READING. I WILL INCLUDE LOW FAT AND SUGAR FREE FOOD STUFFS.

2. FAVORITE FOODS--
OCCASIONALLY. SWEETS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION-- STORE BROUGH CAKES AND PIES OF ALL SORTS--IF I WANT TO REMAIN HEALTHY.I DO NOT EAT THEM!!! I LIKE THE IDEA OF SAVORING THIS WILL WORK ON SUGAR FREE DOVE HERSHEY RASPBERRY DARK CHOCOLATE CANDIES. HAVE ONE AND LET IT MELT IN MY MOUTH. MMMM!

PIZZA---LOVE IT!!! BUT I MUST USE WISDOM........I COULD JUST BUY A VEGGIE PIZZA. THAT WAY I COULD AVOID THE EXTRA FAT WITH NOT HAVING PEPPERONI OR SAUSAGE.

NUTS--ALMONDS AND PECANS---- SHOOT I LIKE THEM ALL. I ONLY USE ALMONDS CHOPPED UP IN MY OATMEAL FOR BREAKFAST. OR WHEN MAKING A BREAKFAST PARFAIT.

3. EXERCISE---I HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT TO MY VIOLET VENUSES AND BLC FOR HELPING ME TO PUSH BEYOND MY COMFORT!!! I ALREADY EXERCISED BUT NOTHING LIKE I DO NOW. I LEARNED THAT I CAN BEND AND NOT BREAK!! I CAN DO BEYOND 30 MINS (AS I USED TO DO MOSTLY). WITH HEALTH CHALLENGES YOU HAVE TO BE MINDFUL. BUT IT IS GOOD TO KNOW I CAN PUSH!!!!

4. I NEED TO DEVELOP A STRENGTH TRAINING ROUTINE..SOMETHING I CAN LIVE WITH. PILATES, AND YOGA COULD BE APPLIED.

5. BARRIERS---LIST STRATIGIES TO HANDLE STRESS AND EMOTIONAL EATING...WELL PRAYER IS MY FIRST THING TO DO. MY DISSTRACTION LIST IS ON MY REFRIG. AS TIMES GOES BY I CAN ADD TO MY LIST OR REMOVE THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK AND REPLACE THEM WITH THINGS DO WORK. STRESS DISTRACTION TECHNIQUES THAT I HAVE ON HAND AS BEFORE PRAYERS IS MY FIRST GO TO.

6. CRISIS MANAGEMENT PRAYER IS A MUST IN THIS SITUATION!!!!!!!!!!!!! DISTRACTION LIST COMBINED WITH STRESS LIST IS THE PLAN OF ACTION FOR ME. BUT AS I WORK ON THINGS DAILY THERE WILL BE NO NEED HOPEFULLY---FOR THE PLANNED ACTION CRISES MODE. MONITORING MYSELF DURING STRESSFUL AND TRYING TIMES, PORTION CONTROL, REVAMPING A CAL RANGE, AND STAY ACTIVE AND USING MY DISTRACTION LISTS WILL BE MY COURSE OF ACTION.

DAY 89 AT MY BEST 100 DAY WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE

RECALL TIMES IN THE PAST WHEN YOU WERE AT A HEALTHY WEIGHT OR EXERCISED REGULARLY, FELT STRONG AND CAPABLE OF FACING CHALLENGES HEAD ON.

I USE TO BE GREAT!!!!!

WE NEVER LOSE OUR CHARACTERISTICS FROM THE PAST. WE LOSE SIGHT OF OUR STRENGTH'S AND GIFTS.

AT TIMES WE ONLY SEE THE PARTS OF OURSELVES THAT WE DON'T LIKE,

DESCRIBE WORDS OR PHASES THAT TELL WHAT YOUR REALLY ARE LIKE AT YOUR BEST. THESE WORDS REMAIN TRUE EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE THEY DO!!!!!

1. CREATIVE AND EXPRESS MYSELF THUR CRAFTS--CROCHETING, BEADING-JEWELLERY DESIGNING.

2 CENTERED IN MY FAITH, ATTEND CHURCH REGULARLY AND DON'T MIND SHARING MY FAITH WITH OTHERS.

3 DETERMINED.

4 FAMILY CENTERED.

5. AM EASY TO GIGGLE ESPECIALLY IF I HEARD A GOOD CLEAN JOKE.

6 ETC. ETC. ETC. MOSTLY I AM A CHILD OF THE KING.

DAY 88 I DO CARE!! 100 DAYS FO WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

DAY 88 I DO CARE!

LIKE MOST PEOPLE, YOU'RE TIRED OF STAYING ON YOUR DIET. PUSHING YOURSELF TO EXERCISE AND AVOID ALL THE FUN TIMES AROUND FOOD.

YOU MAY GET DISCOURAGED YOU DECIDE YOU DON'T CARE. WHEN YOU GET WORN DOWN ITS TEMPTING TO LET OF DIETING EFFORTS OR GIVE UP.

DON'T STOP CARING

ON DAYS YOUR TEMPTED NOT TO CARE-REMIND YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE WORTH IT AND YOU DESERVE TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE AND HEALTH.

FIGURE OUR WHATS BOTHERING YOU. WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE STICKING WITH YOUR PLAN SOMETHING ELSE REQUIRES YOUR ATTENTION. WHEN YOU'RE TEMPTED TO STOP CARING DIG PAST YOUR EXCUSE SEE WHAT MIGHT BE GETTING TO YOU. DON'T GIVE UP TAKE CARE OF THE REAL ISSUES THAT ARE GETTING IN YOUR WAY.
