I'm so excited! I am going to exceed all of my expectations because I am amped, hyped, excited!!! My church built a Fitness Center on the church campus inside our new Childcare Academy. It is less that 1 mi. from my house. Actually, I can see the steeple from my front porch. It is my focal point of inspiration many days when I go out and see it all lit up.

I worked out today and it felt really good to be able to use machines instead of just walking. BBQ challenge teams...let's get losin'!

M3 I think you are doing (let me change that) you are doing a great job with your weight loss & I think you'd be a great motivation to the rest of us. So I'd like to nominate you as well as team captain. If you're not interested I'll do it if no one else wants to. Report Inappropriate Comment

Hot legs!!!

Tuesday, September 04, 2007

I love knee-high boots!

They are a part of my goal weight outfit. I have never been able to wear full boots and last week I tried on a pair and they were real close to zipping. So what did I do? Forced them closed so I could see how they would look. I know that the guy in 9West wanted to snatch them from me cause I was forcing those bad boys up! lol I looked hot!!!

I can just imagine how I will look after this challenge. WOO HOO!
After this challenge, I will post my hot, new leg shots!!! lol

Do it girl! I know how it is with having big legs that these sleek boots just don't want to zip over, but force or not, you zipped yours up! Soon, they'll ease up your leg and you'll be high stepping! Report Inappropriate Comment

Beginning Again...2007 Year of Perfection!

Monday, August 27, 2007

170 is probably my current weight. (165 at today's 8/28 weigh-in Whew!) 134 is my goal weight. -31 lbs is what it will take to reach my goal. When I began this journey, I had a goal of -45 lbs in 4 months. I was successful at looking at my losses in 15 lb increments and when I lost 15 lbs I would set out to lose 15 more.

There are 4 months left in 2007 and I have 36 lbs to lose. Sept 4th begins the first challenge for the end of 2007 on Team BBQ. My first goal is -12 lbs. I need to renew my mind and get back in "Mission Mode". I love to win and winning is certainly attainable! Let's step it up!!! I am going to call my Sept challenge "boot camp"--boots are a part of my goal outfit. lol! See you in the 4th and let's get it done!!!

The Reward of Being Uniquely Me!

Thursday, August 16, 2007

This journey causes me to look at myself. I did not realize the many facets of being me nor did I realize that becoming healthy and whole would cause me to confront myself. I thought this was about losing weight which would restore better health to me. Now I am beginning to see the inner me changing as well. Changing because when I started losing, I began to see that I was hiding. And I began to see what I was hiding. And why...

Now that I am no longer hiding, I have to see myself as beautiful, really beautiful, and cute too! Not only that, but it is great to be able to say that I am beautiful, really beautiful and cute too! Also, it does not mean that I am conceited or self absorbed, I am just beautiful.

I was hiding because I wanted to be liked so if my looks were a non-issue, then people would like me. But guess what? Those same people could be beautiful and they were OK with that. Why can't I be OK with it? Guess What?
I am...
Beautiful!

The reward of being me is that I am able to inspire, encourage and uplift others. They are not even concerned about the outer me, they are receiving the gift of GOD within me.
Oh sure, there are others, even among us, that remind me that I am not accepted and I am grateful for them. I am not ignorant to what they do, I choose to ignore it. Powerfully and peacefully, I keep being uniquely me!
So today, I flaunt the inner me, the GOD in me. I don't apologize for being uniquely me, I celebrate it! The reward is that GOD blesses me to continue in my destiny: the track of life prepared just for me, with duties, responsibilities and blessings chosen by HIM!

To GOD be the Glory!!! Be about being... Uniquely You!

M3......I am still working on this. I sometimes feel less than what I know god has made me. But I am working on this daily.......staying in the word of god is helping alot. Slowly I am going through a metamophisis. I don't wanna hide myself anymore. Yes sister you are beautiful, and some am I!! Report Inappropriate Comment

M3: You are speaking my heart. My husband tells me everyday how "fine" I am. I blush, but it feels so good to hear it, and feel it. He has always told me I was beautiful, but I did not feel that way. Now, I enjoy him saying it--because I feel it. Not only in looks but in spirit. It is a freeing feeling. Congratulations on reaching this point. There is no turning back from here. Now you will be able to see the beauty in God, because you can see the beauty he placed in you. Let me confirm--you are beautiful. Report Inappropriate Comment
