Getting back to it.

Saturday, January 12, 2013

Wow I haven't done this in awhile. I feel bad that I did not stay on track and I know I can make every excuse in the book so I wont. I do have to say that life has been pretty stressful. My grandma passed away on 12/20/12 so Christmas was especially hard this year. My life is still pretty great. Work has been pretty hectic since I am taking xrays now on top of my other work. My boyfriend I still amazing and I got to see my niece for Christmas. :) I have gained all the weight that I lost plus a pound so I am determined to keep it off now. My boyfriend even wants to go on a diet so maybe we can do this together. Here is to hoping I stick with it this time.

    I was wondering where you were. I fell off a bit over thanksgiving and Christmas too. Hard during the holidays. I'm not too far off where I was but it's hard to step it up again. You wish you could just snap your fingers but that's not how it works.

Slow and steady.

Busy Busy Busy

Sunday, October 14, 2012

So my life has been super busy lately. I have been more active in my church now (I play handbells and have Bible study the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month) and juggling my new boyfriend who I have been dating for a month and a half and I could not be happier. I have been trying to keep up with logging everything and portion sizing but at certain times of the month (you ladies know) I have been struggling with cravings. I am doing ok I think but not as good as when I first started. I have been going out to eat a little more so I can meet his friends and he can meet mine and it is so hard to find something that will be healthy. I even look at the nutrition information before we go so I can see what would be good. Holy Crap!!!! Even looking at salads I am floored by how much fat and calories there are!
So this is where I am at right now. My exercising is still nonexistent which is not good and my body is trying to fight off something. I also have a test coming up this coming saturday so I can start taking x-rays at my job so I really need to pass that. This fall is turning out to be super busy with meeting his family and a trip to florida to see my sister, brother-in-law and new niece in November. It seems like every weekend I am doing something but I am sure it will slow down at the beginning of the year, I hope!

Life is Good

Tuesday, September 25, 2012

I have been able to tell my friends how great a website this is. My pastors wife told me on Sunday that she signed herself up on Wednesday after I talked to her and she is feeling amazing after 3 days!!!! She said she was doing everything wrong when it came to weight loss. It makes me feel good that the friends I have had sign up are feeling as good as I am.
My new relationship is also amazing right now too. He is sweet, and kind, and actually wants to talk to me everyday (we text but it is kind of the same). He even asked me to be his date next weekend for a wedding! My life has been so good since I have started using this website that I dont think I will ever be the same again. I love my life, my friends, my family, and my job most days and I think my more positive attitude is partly from this website. Everything is falling into place right now and it could not have come at a better time.
God is huge in my life and I have to thank Him most of all. Have a great day everyone.

Appreciation

Friday, September 21, 2012

I am in disbelief at the support I am getting from total strangers. If I have a bad day, someone is supportive. If I lose a little more weight, someone is supportive. If I have a good exercise day, someone is supportive. It is unbelievable! I know I get support from family and friends but there is something about getting support from strangers that is making me push that much harder and with that I thank each and every one of you. emoticon

Rough night

Thursday, September 20, 2012

I had a really good day yesterday until last night. I got a little panicky because I am in a new relationship and I dont want to be hurt again. We had a good talk and he told me he would never hurt me which is good but I just have a hard time trusting him since I have been so hurt in the past. Along with that, I didnt eat very much last night and only ate around 1100 calories. I didnt even eat enough to reach my goal of how many calories I can eat a day. So last night I had a hard time sleeping and I woke up really shaky this morning. Things got a little better because I ate a good breakfast and he sent me a text message to have a good day. Why am I not happy like I was yesterday afternoon? It should make me excited that he was thinking about me to wish me a good day. Sometimes I really wish I didnt panic and I didnt have depression. Here is to hoping it will be a good day.

    It took me a long time to not hang past issues over my current boyfriends head. I know it can be really hard (my ex cheated on me after 7 years, along with drugs, porn issues, huge credit card debt, his new gf that he was practically living with a week later harassing me when I'd see her...my life was miserable and I was in a new town that I went to because of him and knew no one...long story!).
I got to a point where I had to stop saying what if to everything. What if he hurts me? What if he has porn issues? What if he has debt?
I did it with everything and it made us (us being the new bf) fight over stupid things which wasn't worth it to me. Whether it works out or not, enjoy the journey, the lessons you learn about yourself and the lessons you learn about healthy vs. unhealthy relationships.

    You have received two positive comments from SP who have been there, I will say the same, eat healthy, exercise, focus on all the good stuff in your life. Here's just my opinion, get your eyes of the guy and get your eyes on you, find your happiness in yourself then the"guy" happiness would be the all important thing. We as women then to forget our happiness is in our self not in anyone else. Be happy!

    Don't let past transgressions from other relationships color your current relationship. Your current boyfriend deserves to be judged based on his own actions, not on the actions of others. You wouldn't want him to blame you for things his ex-girlfriends did to him.

    I think you'll feel better physically and emotionally if you eat in your range today. When I eat too little, I can get crabby and moody.
