My goals for this week:

1) move, move, move
2) water
3) stay around 1200 calories

Hi everyone

My goals for the week are
1. Drink loads of water
2. Workout at least 4 days (I have a mini-op on Friday so wont be able to do anything over the weekend).
3. Be a supportive buddy
4. Eat healthily

As for who we can be - reading the blogs from those who have lost the weight I don't think we can just be smaller versions of ourselves. I think that during this weightloss journey much more changes than just becoming slimmer & fitter and we have to adapt ourselves to these other changes - whether its our attitude, our relationships or our lives in general.

I want to be a slimmer version of me, but I know that this will bring, not only new happiness, but new goals, new challenges and new fears. Im on this train to reach my destination, although I know the route will keep chaning along the way.

Have a great week everyone.

Well I have some goals this week:

1) Drink lots of water!
2) Eat right! (stop eating late)
3) Get moving!

...AND...

4) Keep reading (and hopefully finish) this book I just started reading called Sculpting Her Body Perfect by Brad Schoenfeld. This book is really cool, it not only talks about the weight training exercises to do (and it gives examples with pictures) but it also talks about cardio in addition to the weight training. Plus the part that I found really interesting was in the introduction where it talks about the obstacles that women face, that men don't, when trying to get in shape. There are even some brief bios of different women throughout the book and some of their tips. I'm sure I'll be done with this book by the end of the week and starting the exercise plan thats in the book by next week.

Have a great Monday everyone!

WOW! there is alot of enthusiasm in this place....i hope you all keep up the great attitudes...i just wanted to share...we went to kids camp all week last week ..which was absolutely amazing...kinda like a teen revival ...it was awesome...and well this week...we are going to a revival at this church down the road...they have like a different theme each night...(they are baptist...so its a little different from the other revivals) and well, didnt know it but, last night happened to be "senior night" so we were the youngest seniors there..lol and we were a few minutes late...because i thought that it was at a different place...anyhow...we got there...and really it was awesome...the speaker was sharing with these people that revival has to take place in each individuals heart. and that change is awesome...and we have to change to see great things happening...in our lives ..in our church and in our world. some go to church weekly and sit in the exact same spot...and get upset if someone was to sit in their spot...you know? but....if we had our focus where it needed to be...who would care if someone sits in your spot? anyhow...and the guy was so brutally honest (with love and humor) that all of the old people finally started laughing...it was great! and of course im always laughing.....its a great way to burn calories too! and life is just much better with laughter!

we are going to be going to this revival all week....it will be good for my family...then we have vbs starting soon at the church on our road....we are going to be busy little bees....

well, i did my homework...its not as heartfelt and thought out like the baby blanket...but it was fun. we went to the flea market..just to walk around...and this lady was struggling with the coke machine...(and remember it is HOT out here!) and she got one drink but, the machine ate her other dollar and she was saying that she would have to give her hubby her drink...and she would just do without..for now. she said that she didnt have any more dollars...and i gave her one...she wanted me to follow her back to her husband ...to get my dollar back..and i said no, thats okay you dont owe me anything...just have an amazing day...and while we were walking around...and happened to be at another coke machine...she came up to me and said..."miss did you just give me a dollar at another coke machine....?" i said no ma'am i dont have a clue...what your talking about...kinda jokingly..because my kids were laughing....and she said okay...thanks..and walked off...very confused....(i probably made her feel like she was losing her mind...oops!) anyhow...its not much but, i enjoy giving everything away...and believe me ..i get into trouble for it! my husband was like...you would give our last dollar away...we are broke...and i said yea..i would...cause i know that it makes God happy and he always takes care of us...and blesses us for blessing other people...he always has....(i think i like driving him crazy sometimes! too!) anyhow..i better run....

i hope that you all...will find something to smile about, something to laugh about....everyday!!

LETS MAKE A LIFE CHANGE...HEARTBREAKERS!!

Hiya HEARTBREAKERS! I'm back did you miss me I missed you!!!! I see you all have really been doing well. I went to see my Mom she had a car accident, and is fine now. She is 80+ and still driving how scary but its a small town out in the country (no computer) so not a lot of traffic. She says the fence post was hanging out in the road, she saw it and said what's that doing there, but didnt think to swerve around it!!!!!! It crashed into the passenger side, Thank God she was alone.
My goals for this week are to:
Get my fluffy butt moving
Drink 2 quarts of water per day
Get my fluffy butt moving
Cut out late night snacking
Get my cute fluffy butt moving!!!!
HEARTBREAKERS RULE!!!!!!!!!

My goals this week
Eat 2000 calories a day
3 days of cardio
Yoga in the morning
Count my calories again (want to make that a habit again)
Do EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique) every night for weight loss.

Well hello all! Sorry I have been kinda scarce lately. I had a week all to myself so I did nothing but run...workout...play sports...ahhh such fun. Then this weekend I hosted a BBQ that ran over into Sunday. We have been a busy bunch. It really has been a wonderful time.

I learned something this week though. I am actually happy. Happy in the sense that I am not worried about every little inch on my body. I eat what I want but only in moderation and those little bits & bites make me feel normal...NOT like the girl that is always on a diet. Oh I am still working out hard and running my patootie off but there's no whining about it...its just a habit that makes me feel good.

So my goals this week are:


To continue on in my happy healthy place..

To encourage my accountability buddies....to let them find their happy place

Hey everyone! Hope your week is off to a great start.

As I continue my journey, my goals for this week are:

1. Spinning class 4x

2. Water, water and more water

3. watch portion size

4. pilates dvd -- 2x

5. get ready for the beach on friday

I am so proud of me.... I'm walking in the Relay for Life this weekend. Something I wouldn't have been able to do a year ago. I owe it all to bs. If I hadn't started to exercise .... eeeyyeeewww, 'scuse me I almost gagged on the word, if I hadn't started walking, then wogging I never would have made a lap. No kidding! Now I can walk 2 miles, easy. Maybe even more. I'll find out at 7am Saturday. I'm going to the opening ceremony at 6 Fri. afternoon, and I'm so excited. I thought about it a lot but I was too chicken and then a lady in the church choir called me today to find out what time I would be there....she thought I had signed up. I told her I hadn't and she was all apologetic at first, then she asked if I would be interested and I thought... well, maybe it was meant to be after all, and I said yes. I'm fortunate that no one in my family has had cancer, except my dog. I know this sounds silly, but Ruffy is a cancer survivor. He has been cancer free for almost 9 years and if you're an animal lover you know he is an important part of my family. My fur baby. Not to change the subject, but what's wrong with this site? I can't use the little 'smiles' or italicize anything. ? and it looked really weird when I signed on.... is it just me?
