Introduction Text Hi, come on in! Welcome to my page. Those of you who have visited with me before will have noticed that I have done some renovations - I have replaced negativity with positivity, so to speak. Instead of the expanding list of updates each time that I had to restart after I fell off the wagon, I now have a list of my favorite quotes that I use as a tool for staying focused, determined and committed to succeed, I hope that if you do read them you too will gather motivational strength from them. Thank you for visiting my page. Spark hugs and kisses. Jenete %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% "I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me. Or I can be lost in the maze. My choice. My responsibility. Win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." ********************************************************* “I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” Jimmy Dean ********************************************************* We can't change the cards we're dealt, only how we play the hand." - Randy Pausch ********************************************************* "Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful." Mark Victor Hansen ********************************************************* "Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." Michael Jordon ********************************************************* If you always do what you’ve done, you will always get what you’ve always got. -Ed Foreman %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% PROGRESS TRACKER BMI: Start: ............... 41.60 ....... 01/01/10 Current: .......... 00.00 ....... 01/01/10 Loss ................... 0.0 Body Fat %: Start: .............. 46% ....... 01/01/10 Current: ......... 46% ....... 01/01/10 Loss ................. 0% Waist-to-Hip Ratio: Start: .............. 7.9 ....... 01/01/10 Current: ......... 7.9 ........ 01/01/10 Loss ............... 0.0 Total Inches Loss ......... 0.0 ....... 01/01/10 Current inches lost: ...... 0.0 ....... 01/01/10 Total inches Loss .......... 00 Weight: Start: .............. 259.0 ................... 01/01/10 Current: ......... 259.0 ................... 01/01/10 Total weight Loss ........... 0.0 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% GOALTRACKER: Mini Goals: sw= 259 lbs ... 01/01/10 #1 = 249 lbs #2 = 239 lbs #3 = 229 lbs #4 = 219 lbs #5 = 209 lbs #6 = 199 lbs #7 = 189 lbs #8 = 179 lbs #9 = 169 lbs #10 = 159 lbs ..
