2nd Week in and feeling great :)

Thursday, January 10, 2013

So I am in my second "official" week of Spark People and I am loving it! Life is good...I feel better, sleep better and just am a better person! The weight is coming off but more importantly I am feeling so good health wise and mentally. It is so much more than a weight loss journey ...and now I think I finally get that!

Weigh In Tomorrow!

Tuesday, January 08, 2013

So I'm both nervous and excited for my weigh in tomorrow, hoping to be down but happy with my weeks progress no matter what. I am feeling so much better after only one week of working out and eating healthy! Looking forward to yet another great with Spark People!

Can't wait to see the results, but so happy you are feeling great with the changes! Report Inappropriate Comment

The important part is that you are feeling better and proud of your progress. Do not let the number on the scale take away from your feelings. Report Inappropriate Comment

Remember don't put too much emphasis on the scale, it's only on part of the program. Getting healthy and eating right and exercise your body will thank you for in the long run. Report Inappropriate Comment

Sometimes you fall down...

Monday, January 07, 2013

And that is what I did tonight :( I really struggled with eating and went over my calorie limit. One upside is that I didn't go crazy, when I thought I was on my way to my "binge state" I came up to bed. I am now ready to forget about the day, pick myself back up and have a great week!

It was a slip up and you recognized that you didn't have to keep going so congratulate yourself for that. just noticing our bad choices is one way to make better choices in the future. great job. there is no reason to wait till tomorrow to make a better choice when we can do it right now. :) Report Inappropriate Comment

Thank you sooo much everyone! See? This is why you join SP :) I am right back on track today, eating within calorie range and working out! Thanks for the support, I needed it! Report Inappropriate Comment

You did great. it's not being perfect it's dusting yourself off and staying on the journey Report Inappropriate Comment

AME4IT 1/7/2013 12:53PM

I'm proud of you for admitting you had a rough day, avoiding a binge, and allowing yourself to recover from it. Way to go! Report Inappropriate Comment

Don't sweat it!! One calorie spike out of a week isn't going to throw your results off.. and I don't think you fell down at all. You actually did the opposite!! This whole challenge is breaking out of your regular habits, and that is exactly what you did! You knew what old you would do, and new you stopped it. And stopping a food binge is a huge step towards success! Report Inappropriate Comment

It happens to all of us. Don't let one slip be a slide. Keep up the great work! Report Inappropriate Comment

10 Min Daily Exercise Challenge Shout Out!

Friday, January 04, 2013

I have to give big props to the 10 min daily exercise challenge team! Since joining I have lost my "gym guilt" I used to feel super guilty if I didn't get to the gym or if I didn't do a long enough/hard enough work out. Now, I realize that any amount of fitness is better than none and I should feel proud of every effort to be healthy no matter how small.
Go team go! :)

Loving Life

Friday, January 04, 2013

I realized tonight how utterly blessed I am! I have a daughter and a husband who love me unconditionally. I have an amazing job teaching 21 grade 1's and 2's. I have friends and family all over Canada. I live in the beautiful Great White North and I serve a living God who loves me more than anything!
This weight loss journey has become so much more than just "dropping the pounds" and I've only been hooked to SP for a little over a week....ya, it's gonna be a good year :)
