It has been a long time since I have been to my blog site. Someone commented on a recipes and I thought I better check my blog out. I have been soooooo busy with work that I have not been paying much attention.
However I have continued on with my weight loss. I add another tracker. I am down 21 pounds, 2 full dress sizes and I have 16 pounds left for my goal weight. When I look at the numbers I am amazed. I have taken this slow losing a pound a week and some weeks I gained a pound. Being held accountable is the best way for me to lose the weight. Just knowing I have to weigh in once a week keeps me on my toes. I don't want to pay that dollar. Is this a mind game? Maybe but I don't care. I know that I got off track when I was between competitions and started eating everything in site.
I will keep going and I am going to get back to this blog.
It can be done!

The Biggest Loser Challenge
Hi Everyone,
I am doing the Biggest Loser Challenge. I started this past Thursday and I have lost 5 pounds so far. I am working hard on what I am eating and trying to get in as much walking this week. Next week I will step it up and add a workout program to my challenge. I feel good and healthy already. What is great is all my co-workers are doing it, I have the support from my family and friends. I really think you have to be ready to make changes in your life. Mine got to the point where I can't where any of my cloths anymore and shorts look hideous on me.
Timing is everything!
Peace

Back to the Gym
Yesterday I stopped by the Gym I used to go to and asked the question I need to get started. "How Much?" Patty and Jodell are awesome people and they want to see you succeed. When I walked in there it was like going to your parent and telling them you had been doing something bad, even though they all ready know and they just smile and say welcome back! My foot is not in the door yet. I am going to start back in one week. Next week I am heading back home it is Spring Break and I need to go see my dad he has been getting Kemo treatments for his cancer and all his hair started falling out yesterday so he shaved it all off today. I think it was cool that my one of my brothers shaved his head to. Anyway I will be out of town for a week and want to start off on a good start at Gym.

This week has been eye opening.
In the past days I have watched what I have been eating and killing myself at the same time. I finally have concluded I really do have a problem with food. I have just exchanged one addiction for another. My Sick way of the thinking has put me over the edge and into a very destructive path. I remember just two days ago as I was eating something I really did not want, My body was saying "NOOOOOOO", crying and I just kept shoveling it in the mouth. I make excuses after excuses and I am so sick of myself and my life that it is Gods time to intervene. I can't do this on my own no more.
Yesterday was my birthday and I turned 36 and I swore to myself that I would never ever get fat EVER. As I looked in the mirror I seen cellulite on the back of my arms. A very dear friend of mine bought my two shirts and a cute dress all larges and I am still way to big for them. So I thought to myself this is it. I got on the scale last night (which I have not for some time) and I weighed in at 189!!! This is by far the biggest I have ever been.
I know that I am at my best when I am working out at a gym. I know this. I watch what I eat, I have a very good support group there. I have allowed my job, money, and the stress of it all to take control and just run me in the ground.
Last night I went online and looked for help. I went to Overeater's Anonymous. It was late at night so that there was no online meetings at the time but I am going to follow thru with this. This is not like alcohol and drugs where you just stop. You have to eat. I can't do this.
On a side note that does relate to this. I have noooooo money and I have no way to get back to the gym. So I think I am going to go ahead and talk to the owner of Southwest Fitness and see if I could create a startup web page for them in lieu of a one year membership. I just started working in dream weaver so this would be basic but hey its worth a try. So I am going to ask today.
I am ready to change! I just need God' Grace in this matter. "God Help!!!"

Commitment
Same thing happens to me every stinking time. I make a fresh start, so I think. It last a day or two not even a week and bam I am back to my old eating habits. Now I have had a revolution, an epiphany, a Ah-Ha Moment what ever you want to call it and realized that the reason I can't kick start this habit of eating incorrectly and not exercising is cause I have created a very bad habit and made it okay to in my head that this habit is fine. The key word here is habit. I learned this from a Paul McKenna. I am a research feign and I went to his weight loss podcast and listened to him. Habit, Habit, Habit
Time to break some habits!!!!

2008 New Beginnings
Hello Hello Hello My Dear friend the blogger. I have been away for sometime. My life got out of hand and spiraled out of control. I have gain almost all of my weight back due to stress and I quit writing what I ate down and I quit working out and going to the gym.
On with the good stuff. In the crazy life I had been living. I took a very hard look at myself. I went on a cruise and I slowed waaaaay down at work. I lost a dear friend on her own choice but I have gained more friends in a past few months time. I had to take a long look at my destructive patterns and realized some friends are just not good to be around. Especially negative persons who can't see the truth. I know all to well because i have been that person in my past. I had to look at my part in all my relationships and discovered I had some healthy ones that I did not socialize with and then I had some unhealthy ones that I socialized way toooo much. Its funny cause she cut our friendship off and I grown from it. Its weird how things like that work. I wish her only the best.
I had the best Christmas ever. My husband and I have grown so close together in the past few months. I feel at peace and its crazy. All my friends and family's life are chaotic and mine is the best it ever has been.
So I have been talking to soooo many persons about joining weight watchers and I finally did it. I am so excited to get my eating under control. I thought if I joined I failed and I did not want to be one of them. Ha just like my alcoholic thinking. I am soooo stubborn. I am starting today a walking regiment and so it begins. My husband is doing this along with me. He is not going to meetings but we are going on walks together and eating healthy. No sugar for awhile in our house. It does help that my son said that he would much rather eat an orange over a little debbie anytime.
At work I have been getting organized and putting plans in place to get all projects completed. I am starting again a dream weaver class and I am building a website for the tech department. In the Summer I am attending college to get my BA in Computer Information Systems and Minoring in Web Design. I contact MSU and they have scholarships to help with plus I believe my work is following thru with reimbursements so this is a very doable thing. I am so excited. I was so excited I wanted to start this Spring and I could, but I don't want to over do it. So i have come up with a time frame.
