I'm back!

I'm finally back! Unfortunately, I gained 5 pounds after my vacation.....but it's all good. I'm not gonna beat myself up...I"m just going to get back on the stick!!!!!!!!

I am MORE THAN A CONQUERoR!!!

I am more than a conqueror!!! I finally did it....I syked myself last week and I prayed last week that today I would be able to wake up and go to the gym at 6:00am! Today and all weekend has just been wonderful! My eyes are starting to really open to the possibility that I could be smaller than I and healthier and happier!!!!!!!!!! Have a wonderful day. I'm going to ZUMBA tonight.

Got a lil off track...but I'm back

Ok so I got a bit  off track at the end of my second week on SB, but I've realized through the help of great friends that I can do this. It's like that Donnie McClurken song "We fall down, but we get up" That is so true! So, I'm back up and I had gained back 5 of the 8 pounds I lost. But now I'm two pounds away from my original 8 pounds.  So excited to see what's to come! Let's get pumped we can do this!

3 things....

Ok so last night a dear friend of mine said to write down three things I want to accomplish this week....

1. Excercise 3 times this week in the a.m.
2. Lose 8 more pounds
3. Sit down a write out small goals and my ultimate goal for 2007....and how I plan to attain them

Pray for me..........I can and will do this!

I am AMAZED!!!!

Hello everyone! I'm just AWH struck this morning! Since Tuesday May 29, 2007 until today June 4, 2007 I have lost a total of 8 pounds! I can't believe this is happening! But I'm so excited about it! I've been working out....not strenuous but I've been putting some variation in my workout and it is doing wonders! (Swimming is the biggest change, I love it) I think I'm going to buy a bike on Friday so I can ride around my neighborhood and the shopping center etc....Anyway, ladies I'm saying all this to encourage others to buckle down and put your mind to it and it is possible....without pills....just changing your mindset and moving forward! Have an awesome week!

Doin the HAPPY DANCE!!!!

Hi ALL! I know I've been out of the loop for quite sometime but I've been getting it together. I've been doing alot of praying that this weight will come off and that I can change my life not just do another diet!~ And oh how awesome it has been! Me and 4 of my "church girls" decided to start the South Beach for 2 weeks and then we will decide which "Lifestyle Change" we will stick with. I'm think ing I'm going to stick with South Beach until I lose I sizeable amount of weight and then transfer over to WW. I'm so excited though I've lost 6 pounds since Tuesday 5/29/2007! Life is good! Have a wonderful weekend!

YIPPY SKIPPY!!!

I'm so syked today! Yesterday I was the same weight but this morning in a "what the heck moment" I jumped on the scale and I lost two pounds! I jumped off the scale as if I won a million bucks! 2 more pounds down! YEAH BABY!!! My best friends wedding is 8/4/07 and I really want them to have to alter my dress b/c it's TOO BIG for me!! :-) Keeping my expectations high and my mind positive! Have an awesome day.....HEY ALEXIA thanks for your encouragement...you are awesome!

Still the same....

Hey everyone! Well I'm happy to report no gain, sadly I haven't lost any so far this week....but considering my circumstances of not being able to work out, I'm ok with that for now....only for now. I know I'll be back to my normal activities sooner than I think. I hope that physical therapy will get me back on track so that I can ZUMBA again! Have an awesome day!

It's coming off!!!

Well after my visit to the doctor last week I decided that I had to do this! I haven't been making too many stressful conscious changes I've just been doing things slowly but surely cutting back, without focusing on it so much. Long story short....when i went to the doctor I was 299.....as of today I'm 288! What an awesome feeling and b/c of the accident I can't work out so all of this is from changing my eating habits!

Life Changes......

Hello all! I realize that it's been awhile since I've posted....well I was in a car accident on Sunday 4/15/07 and my body is still trying to recover. I'm thankful to be alive and breathing but this has changed my life. I'm looking at life now through new eyes....and praying that God will continue to push me in the direction He would have me to go. Right now is a trying time b/c I'm unable to excercise but the good thing is that I'm still losing. When I went to the doctor last week I weighed in at 299. something!!!! That freaked me out! The doctor then starts to talk about how I can run the risk of diabetes and heart problems etc.....I'm so thankful for the conversation we had....b/c it gave me the extra push I needed to eat healthy and make better choices. I don't want diabetes, heart problems or high blood pressure to be my existence for the rest  of my days on this earth. I want to enjoy this life that God has given me! So today, I'm thankful for the events and people who have been put in my path to change my life and open my spiritual eyes for what's to come! I know if God can do it for me He surely can do it for all of you! So as of today I'm down to 290lb!!!
