Time to Regroup

Today is Wednesday, September 16th and it's been practically 6 months since I last blogged. How crazy is that? There's been lots going on but nothing about my progress. All of that seems to be thrown out the window.

I am taking the next 2 days to regroup and come up with a plan I can stick to. Here goes...

One mo' again...

It's day 3 of the 4 day meal plan (I don't like the word "diet"). I have managed to stay focused for another day. YAY! I'm feeling like I'm almost in charge again.

I still struggle with the exercise. So now I must focus on bringing the activity up to the desired level.

I'm excited again. Wish me luck!

Still Going Strong

It's Sunday and I'm feeling really, really strong today. I love having this much power and not feeling weak. I've followed my meal plan and have not "cheated". It's a great feeling.

Taking one day at at time.

Turning a Corner

Today has been a very good day. I've managed to stay on track to start the "50 million pound challenge" 4-day diet. I was supposed to start on last Monday, but didn't feel that I could truly stick with it. I was not ready mentally. I've decided to take small steps to help myself get motivated.

I know that God is in the healing business and he truly knows my heart and desires. I'm just trying to listen to Him and my body. Today I really feel empowered for some reason. I've made the right choices for me today and did not give in to temptation. That is such a good feeling. I've followed the plan with the exception of getting that exercise in, but the day is not over yet.

Oh well...

Hooray for Friday. It's been a long week. Lots of downs and not enough ups. Today I ate shrimp and broccoli for lunch...yeah I slipped. But I'm not going to dwell on that. I'm picking up and continuing like it never happened.

The weekends are sometimes hard for me. This one is going to be okay though. I can feel it.

Waiting for an Epiphany

Today I've had a little more focus. Nothing has kicked in yet. So I'm going to accentuate the things I was able to accomplish today.

Positive things I did toward reaching my goal include:
Drank my water
Avoided the candy machine

Then there's tomorrow.

New Challenges

By the mere fact that I am just now blogging again, I have not followed through on my plan. Can't seem to get motivated to start again. I joined the 50-million-pound-challenge with some other ladies in hopes of helping me kick it in gear. So far I just feel more let down and guilty for not following that plan either.

Although I struggle everyday, there are some things that I have managed to keep up with, drinking more water being one of those things. I try to journal my food even when I have extremely bad days. I have not been successful at exercising yet.

Small changes I am committing to for the next 7 days:
Starting today, I will push myself to get in some more activity.
Drink at least 6 glasses of water daily.
Allow no more than 3 serving of bread/pasta for the next 7 days.
No fast food for 7 days.
I will also blog every day for the next week no matter what is going on.

I'll keep trying. Good luck to me!
