Oh boy! Here we go again. I had to really ponder this one. I couldn’t figure out what I was missing, why I couldnt’ think of anything to do. When I was about 14 years old, I remember the moment when I decided that I couldn’t let my life wait until I felt “good enough”,…
The statements: I often receive the most compliments on my eyes. What I admire most about myself when I look at my reflection is (this one stumps me at the moment.) I take pride in my positivity. I love the fact that I can keep trying. My greatest quality is compassion. Now to the exercise…
I thought about letting this picture say it all… But, what kind of emotional exhibitionist would I be then? I’m having a terrible time maintaining any progress I make. What the F is wrong with me? Shit!! I’m so sick of myself. I’m exhausted. And yet…. my blessing and curse is that I can’t ever…
I finally have something to reward myself with!! I’m really happy and I think this is going to make it extra fun for me to DO IT!!! I’ve never been able to bribe myself with a reward because I was used to just getting myself whatever I wanted and had no patience to wait. Well,…
This is me. The Phoenix rising from the ashes. This challenge has helped me to focus and to transform even though I did nothing but crash and burn pretty much every week. I’ve never put myself in a position like this where I was committed to staying so conscious of what I was doing. It…
Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!!! There is nothing else in my head. Just Christmas and all the things still to be done before Christmas. We really want to make most of our daughter’s gifts and to have her help make gifts for others. But, I didn’t get my really good ideas until just this week. I’m honestly…
No scale today, but I’m still sticking with it. Part of me thinks I should skip the update and hide myself until I’m actually losing weight… but my commitment to this weekly update and reveal of even my failings is important to me. I’m not pressing the “restart” button every time I don’t have a…
Well, I’ve really been practicing maintenance. It’s a bit premature, but at least I’m doing it. I have no idea where this week went. I think last Thursday through Sunday blended, so it feels like only a few days have passed. Ah, life. So, my final goal list is this: 1. DIET!!!!!! Any diet, just…
It’s a good thing I’m used to being a late bloomer, or I’d really be worried about this challenge. I am pleased to discover that there are 50 days left. That seems substantial. Of course, they’re the Thanksgiving and Christmas days, but that’s not going to be a deal breaker. I’m having some major overwhelm…
Well, simplifying things seems to have helped me stop the out of control spiral. And today I finally got back on the beast for a good cardio sweat. I know that I really couldn’t have worked out with the headaches and pain I had the past few weeks, but now I need to push it…
