Thankyou everyone for your awesome comments and encouragement on yesterdays blog.....

I am back on deck at this point in my day....am just going to hit the shower...well it is 11am...lol...then I hope to go for a walk than I am driving 5 hours to Christchurch....
Am going through there to meet a friend who is flying back in from India....she arrives tomorrow morning and we are going to spend the night there and drive back on Saturday....
Quite looking forward to it....
Hoping to catchup with a "possum" tonight for dinner but not concerned if it dosn't happen..have a book to finish reading and some spark articles to read so have plenty to keep me occupied....

Thankyou for the reminders in your comments of things I know however needed to be reminded that i know them and inpliment them.....

Hopefulyl I can get on line tonight so may do another blog with how I have gone.....
That and my water today should help keep me focused to achieve the day....

Blessings and thankyou all

DAY 7 OF CHALLENGE AND STRUGGLING.....

Wednesday, January 04, 2012

Have really struggled today and doubt that i have stayed anywhere near being on track....
Not sure whats going on however thats where i am at.....

I did lose 1lb for the week however am sure that will be back on again by now.....

Have no idea why I am suddenly struggling again....
I feel a little like Paul in Romans....
I do what i don't want to do and what I do want to do I dont.....that certainly sums up my eating at present....the only positive thing is I have been walking again so thats good....

Will log in tomorrow hopefully and go for a walk before I leave to go to christchurch to meet my friend.....

Blessings all...

You can do it. Report Inappropriate Comment

You can do this Lyn, I know you can. You have the will, all you need now, is the power. I know, somewhere deep down, it is lurking. You just need to call it to the surface. Hugs MaryAnn Report Inappropriate Comment

Perseverence will pay off! You will get back on track and you are walking! Hugs, Angela Report Inappropriate Comment

I lost a pound, also. I feel your struggle and know how you feel, exactly. It's hard to get back on track when you fall off the wagon. Stay focused and drink your water. That helps me to get back. Another thing that helps me is a pot of vegetable soup with the nonstarchy vegs. I know it's hot where you live, so I'd use salads instead of soup. That way you can have something when you want to munch. Report Inappropriate Comment

Oh, How often I have said the same thing... Let's take it a step further and remember how much our father's love and mercy extends.. How His mercies are new every morning!! He knows our hearts .. I like to think of Him telling the apostles to dust their feet off and use that daily.... new day, dust my feet off from my failures.. Lord create a craving for only YOU and Your will in my heart, my life. Forgive me for my failings and help me go forward to be victorious... We are in this together and you are doing great!!!

DAY 6 DONE AND DUSTED....94 TO GO....

Tuesday, January 03, 2012

Well...day 6 is done and dusted and I will get a bear sticker on my journal page and also my calendar.....
Didn't get for a walk today as I decided to go for a ride on the bike with hubby which was awesome....we went about 3/4 of an hour from home and had lunch at a cafe we haven't been to for some time....in fact it has been some time since we have been out on the bike together.....

Had an amazing lunch.....a dairy gluten free vegetable pie....
Made with mased potato as the shell with the veges inside and a potato shell on top....just amazing with lovely salad....something different and really nice....

Hubby has finished sorting the filing cabinet...well one drawer of it and I guess maybe I need to get into my drawer some time and throw a lot of stuff out of it as well....
I am sure I will get there some time....

Am going to head off to bed now as it is a normal day tomorrow and both hubby and the student we have staying with us for 10 days before his wedding have to be at work.....

Will catch everyone again tomorrow....
Night

DAY 5 OF CHALLENGE....

Monday, January 02, 2012

Have got right back on track today after my little diversion yesterday.....am actually quite proud of myself as this is something I haven't achieved before....
A distraction usually leads to a down hill spiral.....am so pleased that this one hasn't....
I think my biggest morivation for it has been joining the 100 day challenge.....
Anyone out there that wants to join the team please feel free....it is open to all and is only 100 days....not a life sentence....and you never know....it may be the turning point in 2012 that it has been for me....

So for me 2012 is onwards and upwards.......

Am also doing well at week 1 of the strees busting challenge as well....
Am refusing to take other people stress on board and am feeling so much better for it....
Doesn't mean I am not involved with people and not helping them to make changes...it just means that I am not buying into the stress that they are projecting......and will continue to give myself permision not to for 2012.....yay....

I am looking forward to seeing the weight come back off in 2012 and getting to my goal and staying there....
I am back walking and motivated to do it....

Very thankful forhaving been invited to the join the team "God Answers Prayer"...
If it hadn't been for that invite I wouldn't have been able to join one of its members on their 100 day challenge and wouldn't have been on this journey that i am now on....
Thankyou so much SUNRISE14 for your invite...
It has changed my world....
Update on Sunburn
Daughter is suffering today with her sunburn from yesterday...she has had to get soime after sun lotion so hopefully that will help her...
i truly pray that one day she will learn....maybe I have to take lotion next year and make sure she puts it on.....

Mine is all ok...my face is still a little warm but the rest of it has nearly gone brown......love it when that happens....
