reminder
Do you ever get frustrated because things are moving too slowly in your life? Many people don't realize that building a foundation for success does not happen overnight. It is a slow process in which you are constantly working and learning. After all, that foundation must remain strong, even in times of failure or crisis. This takes time! You may have to remind yourself that "failing" is only failure if you quit; otherwise it's a learning opportunity. So don't worry if your life seems to be moving in slow motion. Concentrate on building a solid foundation and learning from your back steps
My Plan
So I've been going at this weight loss/ healthy lifestyle/ exercise/ love myself shit for years now. Seriously, when will I just get it? I am a quitter and loser. The fact that it's a couple of years later and I'm here starting over is proof positive. I've got a million and half excuses as to why I gained the weight back but not a single one of them matters. I need to do this. I need to push myself and get over the quitter mentality. I've learned that I'm a miserable person when I'm unhealthy. If anything came out of previous success it's that knowledge. Being healthy makes me happy. Simple as that. I have to do this. MY life depends on it.
I am setting a goal for myself of 5% of my body weight at a time. Since I weigh 210 pounds right now, that means 10.5 pounds is 5% of my body weight, I think....math and I have never gotten along very well. I'll try something a little different this time and figure out what 5% of each new weight is too...maybe that will keep me more motivated.
Anyway, as I meet my goals, I plan on rewarding myself! I NEVER reward myself, I wont even buy myself the right kind of shampoo half the time because I hate wasting money on me. But self help is a great thing and something to look forward to. My rewards will always non food items and always something personal.
I will also make a meal plan each saturday night, buy the groceries sunday and stick with it through the week. I will be making Brian do this with me and he will lose more weight than me and I will get jealous but that will not make me quit like it would have in the past. I will be able to fit into my clothes again. I will want to dress up and put on makeup and fix myhair again. I will feel like a human being again. And I WILL learn to love myself FINALLY!

Vacation Business Trip day one (partial)
I should probably wait until the end of the day to post, but what the heck! I was good this morning! Started my day with a small bowl of mixed fruit then spent 30 minutes on the eliptical, which sucked. I usually like it but the dang fitness room was about 80 degrees and the tv didn't work. I forgot my ipod so I had nothing to keep my mind preoccupied so the minutes DRAGGED! I did it though and the extra high temp made me sweat even more! Then I went to my room showered, got dressed blah blah then ate breakfast. I ahd one hard boiled egg and a bowl of honey but cheerios with about 1/2 cup 2% milk cause they didn't have skim. For a snack I had a banana. Then lunch almost killed me like I thought! We have an hour but I didn't know if we would or not or what was close so I didn't really plan anything. I ended up going to a greek grill type place and ordered some hummus with warm pita and a gyro. I should have just ordered the hummus!! Both were equally delicious and equally HUGE portions! I ate half of the hummus and half og the gyro but I know that was still more than an actual serving size! I didn't get anything fried though and that is good as far as I am concerned! When I got with training at 3 I ate the rest of the hummus cause my tummy was rumbling for it! The gyro is sitting in my mini fridge and I am trying to decide if I want it for dinner or I want to get something else...since it's paid for and all. :) Anyway, not I am about to head off to the little mall thing they have here and get some new jeans (NONE of my old jeans fit me anymore, even pre preggered jeans are too big) I have dinner planned. I'm thinking Marketplace cause they have this raspberry grilled chicken stuff that looks good and pretty healthy and I will order it with grilled veggies and fresh fruit. Their bread may be the death of me...all that BUTTER! But I am ordering it to go so maybe I will just skip the bread altogether....at least the butter. Then I plan on swimming tonight and finishing this mornings workout by using the weight machine for my upper body workout. This mornings was cut short by my almost fainting from dang heat! It doesn't help that I am coughing up both my lungs this week. Stupid allergies/sinus infection/ whatever is wrong with me! I knew as soon as I entered the world of the employeed people and daycares I would get sick again! Anyway, off to shop! Then back to my room to meal plan for the next 2 weeks! Can't let the whole too poor to afford internet thang stop me anymore!
