I'm still here!

I have been pushing play every day since I have been home. My sister is determined to make sure that I am not smaller than her. Yesterday her cousins told her that I was smaller than her and she had a fit. She wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the day. That's cool though. I still love her and I am going to keep going. Have a great week end.

There's no place like home!

It is so good to be at home. I'm enjoying the company of my family and friends. My sister and I will be working out together while I'm here. This will be her first time doing TJ. I know she will love it because she loves Taebo (sp).

My portion sizes have been on point and I have been doing well with waiting for true hunger.

Have a healthy day!

Hey everybody!

I'm just stopping by so my buddies won't get concerned about me. I haven't been responding or posting on any of my boards lately. This week I've just been spending time getting closer to God. I have been so self centered lately that I have forgotten what is important in life. So what if I can't eat as much as I want to or I forgot to do a stupid work out. There are more important things for me to worry about.  I'm not saying that I have stopped wanting to reach my healthy weight. All I'm saying is I need to stop making that the main focus of my life.

Ok enough preaching. I am now officially divorced! Who would have ever thought that I would be happy to say that?  I still care about my ex but not the way a wife should care for her husband. We have remained friends but I know that he wishes things would have remained the same.

My mom is going to do WD with me. We are both going to do the internet class. It will be cool to compare our experiences.

I'm off to see my family for the holidays. I'll chat more when I get sometime. If I don't get an opportunity, happy holiday's.

Prayer works!

Today I started my day with prayer. What a difference prayer makes. I usually pray at night and in the middle of  a stressful day. I had joy all day and God just smiled on me too! I'm going to pray before I work out every morning. My work out even felt better. I think God was pleased that I put Him first. Thank you Lord for a great day.

Day 27 of 90

Exercise? Who me? Well after Monday I did not workout again until today. I'll do better next week.

Well those who are interested in trying the weigh Down Program it is free for first timers until Christmas-Eve. They even offer internet classes as well. It wouldn't hurt to check it out while it is free. The number is 800-844-5208. Or check out their website for more info. http://www.wdworkshop.com/change_menumailout.asp

I was feeling bad about only eating junk food and not eating any vegetables or fruit for two weeks. I was doing some of my homework and I found out that because I have been denying my body these foods for so long that it may take a while before this will change. It is good to know that I am not strange.

Well Have a great weekend.

Day 22 of 90

I'm trying to convince myself to workout today. I woke up too late to push play (pp).

I'm learning more about denying myself and being obedient to my hunger and full mechanisms. I'm getting there slowly but surely.

Well I'm off to pp.

Waiting for hunger

It is so difficult to wait for hunger sometimes. I hate eating late at night so when 7pm came around I drank some chicken broth.

 WD warned us that when we are not feeling well our bodies focus on healing the body. So I only had one meal today. I hope my throat feels better tomorrow. I drank plenty of tea today and the broth should have helped as well. I'll make sure to bring some tea and broth with me to work tomorrow.

Another thing about waiting for hunger that is difficult is forgetting all of the diet rules I learned. Eating 4 to 6 meals a day to avoid crash and burning. Not eating late at night. The main thing is eating healthy. There are some days that I think that I should probably eat healthier meals. But then when the next hunger comes the last thing I want to eat is broccoli.

I can't wait until the end of this month. I know that I will reach my goal because I'm learning to listen to my body more and to depend on God for all of my needs.

Have a healthy day!

Day 21 of 90

God is so awesome. I reached beyond  my goal for November. I am now 197lbs. God has truely helped me with this weight loss. I had to give him all of my burdens (I've been going through some things the last couple of days) and pms did not help.

I only worked out 3 days last week. I will try to do all six workouts this week. My goal for this month is to weigh 190lbs. I know if I continue to trust God that I will reach this goal without any problem.

I am learning to expect the wait to come off. Not hope or wish but know that it will come off. Let's have a sucessful week!

I can't wait unitl they are finish doing whatever changes that they are doing to this blog. I hate when I am not able to post because they are adding something.

I'm still learning how to eat smaller portions and working out as scheduled. I'm too tired to say much at this time but I've noticed that it is easier to post in the morning than evenings so I wanted to make sure that I said something.

Lets have a healthy day!
