despite the pain, the crazy emotions, nothing going your way, feelings being hurt, feeling like crap.....ima need you not to look like what you are going through.
A message that i'm going to hold in my heart. One of my pastors preached and that basically was what she titled her lecture. She had been going through hell and in the midst of it, God spoke those words, "Ima need you, not to look like what you are going through" That moment, her hair that was a mess she fixed up, the frumpy sweatpants she was wearing she changed, the frown that stamped itself on her face turned into a smile, and the eyes that were weary now glistened with mascara.
So i guess i want to tell you all, despite everything, don't let what you are going through dress you...i guarantee that will have the  fuming!

This really is a question that has been running raged in my mind.
Obviously, alot of you, including myself would say, "I'm on spark because i want to lose weight. No to mention, it's a great website that offers support which i can receive and give back, great tips, trackers and other great information.
My primarily reason for being here is because Spark is because of me. I log on every day to keep myself accountable of what i'm supposed to be doing....however, i find out that not all people here on Spark have the same mindset...and it bothers me if i'm being honest.
This is YOUR journey and as much as it's great to help others, share other people's success and joy...what about you?
What seriously have you accomplished?
I'm most definitely not saying that it's wrong to support others because it's great...i love cheering on my SP people, it just becomes a problem i guess when that is all you do...and you lose focus of your journey.
When's the last time you celebrated something you achieved instead of somebody else...?
So again i ask, why are you on Spark?
Is to reach your goals one step at a time or take a back seat and watch others move forward.
And if anybody reading got offended by any of my words, i do not intend to offend.
This is just something that has bugged me for the longest of time. There were times when i caught myself taking a comfy back seat and supported others moving forward neglecting my own journey.
I just want everyone to remember that we are here on Spark because of ourselves.

169.2!
Yup!
I'm officially in the 160's and i plan on not going back to the 170's.
Of course it's going to be hard especially with Christmas right around the corner, but i'm going to find a right balance and enjoy myself.
Last year i gained 10 lbs and i will not let a repeat of that happen.
With that being said, i'm also down 78 pounds....holy moly that is alot! I still can't believe it...78 pounds...wow! That number is a huge eye opener to me, but i say it with an accomplishment. I'm two pounds away from 80 gone and even more closer to my goal weight.
I'm a beast.
I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
I'm a winner in itself.
I swear daily affirmations work.
I used to feel soooo stupid when i would tell myself these things, but repeating them sticks in my head and fuels me on.
I haven't been on my best behavior this December, but i believe these so called "funks and slumps" are sometimes needed for us. I guess I could take the saying, "You have to reach rock bottom before you can move up" and apply it to working out and eating right. Eventually, our bodies will tell us that we can't afford to be harming ourselves no more.
What's even funny for me is that when i'm not at my best that's when i get a ton of compliments about how well i'm doing....if only you knew, you would retract those comments, but those words in itself serve as great motivation for me.
It feels great to be called, " The incredible shrinking Maggie" or "I don't like the fact you're going to be blown away soon". You know what even feels more better? The added attention you get from people who NEVER noticed you...not to mention the trailing eyes of guys and the special treatment ;) If you want to pay for my coffee i don't mind...go ahead...can i add in a muffin as well =D
Things are just good for me and i can't wait to make more progress and update you all with some pictures!!

...he lent in and pressed his lips against mine and kissed me...it was so magical and i'm reliving it up to now...i still have butterflies around thinking about my first kiss, his smell, the way he squeezed me, dazed into my eyes and wrapped his hands around my waist.
December 2nd 2011, i will forget you not 
It was worth waiting 21 years..and definitely a good way to end this year with a bang.
Happy Friday everyone =)

Yup, that's right...i plan on taking action this December.
It kind of gets to the point where when your not achieving anything it gets downright pitiful and i'm tired of that. I'm tired of going around in circles and circles as if i'm confused when i'm clearly not. I will not be like the children of Isreal who went around in circles in the wilderness forever! No m'am! Gosh darn it! ( i bet you're thinking who says that...i do lol)
I'm ready to meet some goals!
I'm ready to relive what satisfaction is...
I'm ready to feel the excitement of meeting a goal and the burst of joy that comes with it...
I'm ready for that silly victory dance that's done in the bathroom when the scale goes down..
I'm just ready!
One of my SP friends (LOSEITFORLIFE83) declared this month as "Warrior month-'Do or die'-'Go hard or go home'!! - and i will truly live up to this!
Today, i got up at 5:00 AM to work out...on a school day in which i leave the house at 7. That is pure determination because the old me would have rolled over, but i got up and did Chris Freytag's 10 xtreme upper workout followed by some kickboxing =D
Mark my word that by December 31st i will:
*love myself a bit more!
*feel more confident!
*trimmed down my tummy!
*Be 166 or under!
*And bring in the New Year looking beautiful!
To end my blog, i'll just say i'm listening to some John Mayer ( i love this guy) and i wanted to share one of my favorite songs by him.
It's called Daughters, please listen and just tell me that you love it because i know you will:

feature=BFa&list=FLeLri2oFPeyNfVkgIhht
Q6A&lf=mh_lolz
And for those who can't just read these lyrics of the song:
I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls are continually changed
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now I'm left
Cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the guide and the weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too [x3]
Beautiful right? Melts my heart everytime i listen to it.
Happy December!
