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!

Day off!
I have the day off today (Thanks Veteran's!) and realized I haven't posted in about a few days! So thoughtI would change that...It's still early in the day but so far as far as my eatin' goes I'm doin great! Breakfast was wonderful! I warmed a corn tortilla in a pan with some cooking spray to make it good and crispy then spread a wedge of the laughing cow light creamy swiss on that, topped it with some smooshed up black beans that I seasoned with a bit of ground cumin, put some salsa on top of that and topped it off with a fried egg. I guess it was just huevos rancheros but it was SO good! And only 5 points! I left my yolk good and runny so everything mixed together nicely and it was quite tasty! I took a picture and I guess I will post it but I am becoming very embarrassed with the quality (or lack of) my pictures. I am just going to have to purchase a decent camera on black friday I think...and keep it away from my mom and her drinks. Anyway, the plan for the rest of the day off is to clean, eat healthy and hit the gym. If I can motivate my butt to get up off the couch!
