Introduction Text I'm Ready I've lost weight on Sparkpeople back in 2007 going from 300 to 245. Hit a big bump in the road I gave up....then I cam back in 2012 lost 36 pounds them had some issues with my daughter that has been going through some things since her liver transplant so that got me stressed and eating and gain it all back. So far lost 17 pounds from 4/13 to now 7/13... Deciding to taking on a new lifestyle and becoming a Pescetarian starting August 1st due that beef and pork being making me sick to my stomach maybe it's telling me to give it up..  I'm ready to get back on track and focus 100% I am a new and better me.  Working on feeling good about myself on a daily bases. I know it is hard to lose weight and it is a lifestyle not a diet to me and that is how I will have to see it. I have a long way to go but, even after reaching my goal I still have a longer life to live and I want to live it feeling healther and good about myself. Widoms #1 Some people try to speed up their results by exercising their trouble spots every day. For example they do a leg workout everyday or an abs workout every day. Rather than speed results however this might be a recipe for injury. Your muscles need a day to recover from, resistance exercise. If you work the same muscle group every single day it never gets a chance to recover and grow stronger. Worse you feel sore and tired all at the same time which depletes your motivational reserves. Widoms #2 Don't forget to celebrate your successes. Too often we only notice when we slip up. We spend the day thinking "What's wrong with me that i slept in? or "I didn't work hard enough on my workout.You find more motivation however if you focus on each and every success. Congratulate yourself for getting up earlier to fit in your workout. Be proud of your ability to perform a new workout. Be constantly on the lookout for these little successes. They will serve as the kindling that fuels your desire to stay on track. I don't remember where I got these widoms but, to me I just had to keep them in mind.  I know it's hard to lose weight it's a emotionally road coaster when you trying to change so much about yourself.  I just have to think positive and keep on track.  Yeah,  I know it's hard to keep on track there are days that all of us want to just drop dead and give up and grab those cookies out the cabinet I know I do somethings.  But,  have to look forward and think about how far I have come to get this far.  I am doing it for my health and so I can feel good about myself when I look in the mirror.  Even if you make that little mistake don't go all day worried about that 1 mistake use it as a postive for the next time in the future.  The more you beat yourself up on your negative the less likely you will look at your postive ways as you keep moving forward.  Be proud of yourself for that 10 minute walk you did.  Be proud of yourself for saying no to that soda this afternoon.  See think about all the postive and keep moving forward.  We all will get there.  ONE DAY AT A TIME :) My Contract With Myself I Lesa promise to create 55 minute or more each day to improve my health and well-being. I promise that I will: * Make the most of my 55 minute or more by completing my daily workouts from my planner. * Make time to exercise and not allow other distractions to get in my way. * Complete my daily workouts routine, no matter how busy my day. * Not feel guilty Lesa I always said no but, I never follow though on what I say I am going to do no matter what.  When it comes to changing the way I eat I always fall back into my old habbits and I wanted to make  a new way of changing something again for the better but, I want to follow though on what I say. MY NO LIST NO Chocolate NO Soda NO Fast Food (Only salads) NO Cakes NO Cookies(Only gramcrackers Portion control) NO Chips(Only Pretzels) NO Candy(Only suckers and gum) NO Fried Food NO Pizza (Only Lean Crusine) NO Ice Cream(Only Sherbert or Popcicles) NO Big Portions NO Eating after 8 p.m. No Excuses No Lacking off with my calorie intake No Negative thinking/or talk Lesa J My No List is a weekly challenge/ hard challenge but, working on it. Weekly 5 Goals I set up every week on 100 plus club so hopeful I can get my butt in gear and keep up with my goals this every week. 1 Get in 10 miles this week 2 Water 64 oz everyday 3 Stay within my calorie range 4 Journal write at least everyday  5 1-2 servings of fruits and vegs everyday this week Lesa J

Goal is to get back on track with my weight lost and be healthy and happy in my own body. I've lost 60 pounds before, but gain it back TWICE ugh! :( i know said. No excuses I just let life get the worst of me so now I'm back and pushing to do what I have to do and do it the right way so I've done research and since I get horrible stomach pains when I eat beef and pork I've decided to become a Pescetarian starting August 1st....I believe this will be better for me I eat plenty of fish, salmon and tuna anyway since I'm on a high protein diet so what better yet then to toss out the unhealthy things and add more green such as veggies and of course fruits...    

Eat right!!!      Drink lots of water- which is hard for me.      Work out 6 days a week.      Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep.      Monday, Wednesday and Friday - Strength Training     6 days a week. Cardio such as treadmill for 50 mins or to 3 mile walk/kickboxing/Taebo/28 day Sparkbootcamp
