Wow, it has been 6 months since I have blogged! I think this might be something I need to do to help my journey move forward. I have been in a rut the last 6 months, to where I go on and off the wagon and therefore have lost NO weight. I should all ready be at my goal and holding instead I keep sabotaging myself. Hmmmmm I haven't quite figured out why and what the underlying problem is with that BUT, I'm done. I'm also done saying I'm done! I've heard that come out of my mouth too many times to count. Here I am once again saying it. I'm done with the excuses and with holding myself back.
It is time to listen to my inner self that has been screaming at me to stop what I do that sets me back. So I am putting it down on paper/computer for all to see that I am going to take charge of my health once again and do what needs to be done.
Today is my new beginning and with Gods help I will get to where He wants me to be!

I am loving that when I "blow it" now I don't blow it like I used to! lol Yesterday was an off day but it was way better than my off days before
Also I don't beat myself up any more, just back to being healthy and being good.
What a great change!!!!!!! I love it!

Here I am once again having learned a very big lesson, which I love! The past two days have been drinking sparkling wine and indulging in the Christmas foods and I feel it!!!!!! Yes, in two days........5 pounds........How can that happen??? I'm sure it has to do with the time of month (oh yes, that did not help me at all during this time! lol) and the salt intake that I can so feel. So today is lots and lots of water! A very relaxed day before I get myself going on the healthy way of living once again. Was it worth it? Hmmmmmmm I am saying NO.....I have felt so good and today; so sluggish and no drive at all (I'm sure it is the combo). I am excited that I have a week to flush my system and will be working hard to get myself going and start this new year off with a bang!
I also started the WW about a month and a half ago.......Although, I do like the new plan I find myself at the computer way to much logging in here and there. Which resulted in me not logging at all. Fruits, vege's, lean meats, grains and move my butt is the key no matter what we are doing! Soooooooooo I am stopping the WW and continuing on with SP, I love the support here, it is free and it concentrate on making sure we get adequate protein, fiber and such. I do like that, I have learned a lot of what I wasn't getting enough of. On WW I was more worried about the points and not getting the proper protein and what ever else.
It seems that I have been a person who thinks about food way too much! What I'm going to eat, how much I'm going to get. When I was doing both programs it was even worse! I am working towards just moving a lot more and learning to eat healthy so all this great food doesn't control me, I control it!!!!!!!!
I'm not beating myself up, I'm taking today as a rest and re-evaluation day and tomorrow will be my new beginning! I am not going to wait for the New Year to resume, which is another beautiful thing I have learned, every day is a new beginning! I am still going to start the New Year off smaller and healthier than 2010! Bring it on 2011 because I have the tools now to kick butt!!!!!!!!

What a learning experience this has been, a good one at that. I'm thankful that God is here to help me through this and help me grow in a healthy way. I have wonderful learning tools to work with and am thankful for Sparks and all the wonderful people I have met that keep me lifted up and keep me pushing! It has been a real blessing having my husband on the same journey as me and I'm so happy to see him making so many good changes!
Thank you all for being here for me even when you don't know you are!

CHAPTER 1

Monday, November 01, 2010

I love the "crisscross effect" . It is so true! I know that I've been eating good, which makes me want to get out there and do my WHOLE walk. Then I get home and want to do good at dinner, no matter what my cravings are. I feel better about myself the next day that is for sure. Very inspirational story! I"m excited about getting healthier and finding my husband sees it as a punishment of not eating his foods. He has lost about 20 pounds and instead of being happy he is being mopey. So I will stay positive!!! It is a struggle but I do find reading this book and being on this site makes it easier and I'm not a lone!

i scanned through the spark years ago in the library, brought it home and returned it with out giving it a chance. last week i ordered the book on amazon and started reading today. 1st chapter..how amazing to think its that important to have others encourage us. it sounds like my failures stem from lack of attention or encouragement from friends and family. you only need 1 person to care, here on sparkpeople you have 100's what a vision sparkguy had, and godbless him..
