Roaring and ready to go!

Saturday, June 06, 2009

So the last time I actively tried to make my lifestyle change work was oh...February!? That is WAY too long to be unfocused. In the mean time, I've tried doing pieces...but pieces won't work. I would work out...or eat right...or track my food...never all 3....so, I've got to get it together. I'm ok with that. I accept the blame for all that has gone wrong with my weight loss since January. But it's ok. I'm changing it right here...right now! No more binging...no more overdoing it....just back to my being focused....and doing everything I should.

God gave me the sense to know when I am wrong and I have been wrong. He also gave me the sense to use what I have and make it work. Spark People was definitely God's Gift to me...and I need to use it and make it work. So...I'm going to go clean house...so that I can work out later today. I am ready to be focused again....

KIMYATTA, welcome back among the living. Every thing will be OK. We're human and we are always going to have a few false starts before we get it right. I know, because I use to be a smoker and it took me three times to get it right and finally stop completely and for good! I, too, have been having problems staying focused on the program and hopefully I'm finally back on track. You see, the trick is to not give up. If we fall down, we have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start all over again....no matter how many times we have to do it! June is going to be a very good month for us, just wait and see. WE WILL DO THIS AND COME OUT WINNERS! I'm so happy you're back and I look forward to us sharing our success with one another!

Freaking Out....

I'm freaking out because I know what I've been eating...BUT I've been exercising...but I have a feeling tomorrow's weigh in will not be pretty....I feel like garbage on a stick...and I ache all over....what's the MATTER!?!?!?!? Oh well...I guess I'll just have to deal with whatever the outcome may be....but it's alright...water aerobics starts back tomorrow.....woo hoo!

Amen! I second everything JayJay said!!! Please, Kimyatta... don't let the devil get you down! You can do this. You HAVE been doing this, and you ARE going to succeed!!!

Kimyatta, don't you dare let those old demons get to you. The devil is always busy and will try anything to throw you off track. You are such an inspiration and there are so many of us who have been inspired by you. Please don't let us down. We've been there, done that and that's why we're here. We're here when you need us and we support you 100%! We're counting on you. Don't let yourself down; you're a winner!

Round 3...

Wednesday, January 14, 2009

Ok, so I've started Choose 2 Lose again. I'm enjoying it. Unfortunately, I had a few problems over the holidays and gained some unwanted pounds, but it's ok, because I'm in the right place though...Sometimes you've got to encourage yourself....so...I'll do that...but I'm glad to know that I can encourage others...and call upon others to encourage me also.



This is a picture of my team....but I know my spark teams are there for me too! This weight loss thing is no joke! No joke...no joke! But having support is awesome. I told Karen that having her just on the next treadmill was having great support. I'm glad I have some great people in my back. When I want to give up, I call my mom and she says something super encouraging...then reminds me about her closet...

So, round 3 of Choose 2 Lose is definitely what I need...it's going to be awesome. I never reached my goal of 384...but I know I will in a few weeks. Today, I go foward at 401.0, but I am going to reach that next goal and go beyond! I'm soooooo excited...it's going to happen...I can see it. I am renewed!

Silly People...

You know...sometimes people are so crazy...they make you want to ring their necks...I however prefer to picture their faces when I am doing punches or kicks....

Ok...I teach...and most of my co-workers have noticed my weight loss and are congratulating me and encouraging me to keep going....they are fine with me kidding with them about which outfits I'll come and get from their closets....so...we're all on one accord....Most people ask me what my goals are....and are nice about it...and we're ok....but this one particular lady...Lord help me...made me very upset....this is her first year at our school......but that heifer...(Lord help me.....)...she is trying to lose weight too...which I applaud her efforts...she's got like 15 pounds she'd like to lose...and I encourage her as much as possible....but she looked at me one day at lunch...because I had a sandwich piled high with spinach and something else...and as I ate..she turned her face up at me and said..."well what size are you trying to get to..."....so I calmly chewed my mouthful of sandwich and said..."healthy"....and she turned her face up at me again...kinda made me want to slap her........

I said healthy because I don't know what size I'll be when I get there....for 1...and for 2...I'm not aiming for a size...I started this journey more than 300 puonds over my supposed ideal weight for my age and height....and I just hate that she somewhat makes a mockery of what I'm trying to do...so...I currently avoid her...because I feel like she's only acting interested to try to be funny....

Oh well...I guess I can show her better than I can tell her...I AM SO DONE!

Hey girl, Where are you. Hope things are going well for you!

I am wondering what she is thinking now that you have gotten rid of over 70 pounds. I am sure she is even more green with envy. Keep up the Great progress. Comment edited on: 2/2/2009 11:57:17 PM

All I can think of is when you are still going strong and realizing your goals, a step at a time, she might have lost her 15, gained it back, lost it, and gained it back. The thought actually makes me giggle. Kind of serve her right, huh? Avoiding her is probably a good idea. We don't need negative people around us when we are trying to make healthier decisions and set goals and get there. You have a marvelous attitude and will succeed at this. Good luck to you. I'm adding you as a friend so I can check back at your progress over the next few weeks and months. I've also chosen you as someone who motivates me! cj

Good for you for being the better person.

oh man.. That is aweful to have to deal with someone like that at work. She is trying to put you down to make her self feel better. She has issues. You are doing the right thing by avoiding her and keeping focused on being healthy!! I commend you ... Keep up the wonderful work. Jamie
