In A Hurry

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

The day seems to go by so fast. I have just finished my workout and weights. I have a dinner in our dining room tonight at 430 they do it early here. It is a prime rib dinner hope it will be good it is catered to this building. My Mom and I are going with some others from my floor. I will let you know if it was worth it, Mom said it is good. She had it before I have not.

I am doing a charity walk on Saturday. It is with the alumni from my HS. I raised $185 to walk 4 hrs will be my virtual walk for here. Will do 5K. I cant wait for spring, it is finally getting warmer here. Suppose to be in the 40's tomorrow.


This week is going by really fast. Have to get out Mom will be calling me to leave, later fellow Spark people.

Routine

Monday, March 14, 2011

I am a creature of routine. I like to have a plan and stick to it. The more I stick to a plan the better I feel about doing it. Also with routine comes habit. So doing this helps to perhaps make it something you are use to doing and hopefully start to like to do it because it is required to stay healthy and have a positive lifestyle.

For some reason if I do not keep my routine I just do not cope well. This is not positive at times. Because life is very unpredictable at times. Things happen that change that routine. I am learning to adjust and still get that routine in by being flexible and confident.

All this is what I am learning. I was asked to help someone today. I had to adjust to help someone else, So my timetable had to change. In learning all of this I hope to get more confident and reassured that my routine can be kept when I am determined, perseverance and confident in myself and in doing this required new workout lifestyle.

Great outlook! I am one whom likes to follow a routine as well, but I have learned to manage my time leaving open windows for unexpected circumstances just in case I have to change things up in order to stay on track. Sometimes you can get everything done by starting earlier or finishing late ,but at least you managed to get it all done. There may times when you cannot get everything done, but always remember that your human and that you did the best you can. Report Inappropriate Comment

Points And Confidence

Sunday, March 13, 2011

I just hit 66,000 points level today. That is a lot of points over the last year and a half. I work hard daily to get to this goal. I really enjoy the new quiz addition, I can take these and get more points also. They are not long and drawn out quizzes either.

I like have a goal to work towards. It helps to keep me motivated to earning points and just keep up the consistent work. It means a lot to me for some strange reason. I keep on going higher. Wonder just how high I will go?? I am at my maintenance stage but I am finding it is not as easy as it is made out to be. I am happy I lost the weight do not get me wrong. But the sugar seems to creep its way in and so I need to buckle down and get back down. I really think I need to get a cushion weight and stay within that range for me to keep an eye on things.

My Mom does not help that is for sure. She seems to think I need to have sweets daily since I have lost the weight. She is a baker and constantly makes food I like, it is not easy turning your Mother down. She takes it very personally when you do. This is my new challenge to find a happy medium with her and my new lifestyle where I will not gain weight again. It may only be 6 pounds but it is so long of a times to take that back off. Plus I do not like seeing the scale go up instead of down.

Funny thing happening now is I hear voices telling me I am not satisfied how I look. At my age I need to be realistic and know just what I am going to be like now and in the future. Losing all this weight does not mean I will look 30 again. But I am healthier than I ever was in 20 years that is very positive. Can you tell I have to reassure myself even after I have lost 90 pounds. This is a life long challenge for me and I may never see what I had hoped for but I pray I never go back to what I was either. this a whole lot better than right.

I work really hard at getting points.. LOL I like getting a new trophy, it makes me happy. I sometimes wonder if when I lose all the weight if I will be pleased with how I look. I wasn't pleased when I was 120 lbs.. who knows, hopefully my mind set will be different by the time the weight disappears. Report Inappropriate Comment

Congrats on the points! That is some number you have reached! I'm trying to reach 20,000 before the end of the month :) I can so relate to the "not satisfied how I look" comment. Even after loosing 60 lbs I struggle with the same thing. I know I can't maintain a lower weight so that really isn't a possibility. Body image is such a "mind game". I swear. The thing that helps keep things in perspective is looking at before and after pictures. Then I can see the difference because when I look at myself in a mirror don't look any different to myself than I did 60 lbs ago. Congrats for all that you have accomplished! You are doing a great job. Report Inappropriate Comment

Wonderful blog. Sounds like you have chosen your goals and know exactly what you want. And yes even with 90 pounds lost, we all still need that little reassurance once in a while, even after we meet our goal weight, we will always need constant reminders and of what we have and what we want to keep for ourselves, the healthier life style.

Nothing Much

Saturday, March 12, 2011

It is a quiet day. I was up early and took my Mom shopping. Home and just vegging out the rest of the day. Not sure if I am going to do the gazelle today or not. Just trying to decide.

All is quiet as I said and nothing new to report have a nice weekend. Do not forget TIME CHANGE tonight. Turn clocks ahead one hour.
