ALMOST A YEAR!

SO!! I was thinking about this when I got up this morning! Did you know it has been almost a year since I started this weight loss journey?

Well, maybe I should call it a weight loss roller coaster to be honest with you.

I have found out A LOT of things about myself. Like I can count on NO ONE but myself to make this happen. Of course I do believe that this statement applies to most things in a persons life.

I try really hard to be a good person BUT I do occasionally get caught up in my own negative thoughts which allows me to be not such a good person.

I can say that I think for the most part I have been successful on losing weight this year.

I am down to 205.4 lbs. as of this morning on the scale. Not to shabby I must say considering I started at like 250 lbs. AND that's considering I had a HORRIBLE July where I broke my arm (still recovering from that one) and suffered a fairly severe head injury.

What is the saying though? OH WELL...THAT'S JUST LIFE!!! :)

As I draw closer to the end of this year though, I have committed myself to my goal of 150 lbs. the way I figure it is, I am half way there. I am not quitting yet! What does that prove anyways? Nothing except that I would be lacking the fortitude and strength of character to continue on with a commitment I made to myself. And if I can't keep a commitment to myself, THEN HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I KEEP A COMMITMENT TO ANYONE ELSE?!?!

You can't and that's my point!

So it begins...AGAIN!

HA HA! I have to laugh because I must say that there is A LOT of truth about the cycles and rythms that our bodies go through! Just like my end of the quarter goal...I missed it! IT SUCKS!!! I was really upset becuase I was only able to get down one more lbs and so I ended it at 222 lbs. Then I did go into to Kody's for like a week because of work and who knows what I am weighing now!

So I figured that it is time to wipe away those tears and just buck up and pull on my big girl panties and move forward from here! That is what I am doing! It has been a diffucult last few weeks because of the activities that my kids are involved in and then also because of some personal things in my life as well as in the lives of Jenn and Christine! You will have to read their blogs CUZ I AIN'T TELLING!!! :)

So I hit the gym again yesterday and I will do it everyday this week so that I can get back on track! I just had a salad for my breakfast so that I am not tempted to eat some SUGAR!!! And I figure that I have to take the good AND the bad as I make this journey!

Thanks for all of those how have supported us and we look forward to hearing from you!
