SHUT UP & PUT UP

Day 6

DAWN CHALLENGE...SUCKS!

I need a quick fix. I hate the scale NOT moving! I am considering having sex with my husband to burn off calories...THAT'S HOW DESPERATE!

Today's Menu
1 egg white on 1 slice of whole wheat for breakfast
Lunch was a weight watchers frozen Santa Fe something or other and then I had Angel hair pasta with chunky tomato sauce and a piece of chicken cutlet parm without breadcrumbs and used Parmesan instead of Mozzarella
I did the zumba on the wii again - it's starting to bug me.

Considering other avenues if this sensible eating and exercising crap doesn't kick into gear.

SHUT UP AND PUT UP!!! - Day 3

Okay - so far today...

Breakfast - 1/2 bowl of high fiber ceral with blueberries

GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY

 

Barbara Ward-Finneran

Get out of your own way... Life is about making a comeback. 

It’s all to easy to decide to put off or wait till next week what needs to be done.  In many cases what is long over due.  I can not put my finger on exactly when I decided that I had had enough.  I know I heard the voice in my head constantly saying you have to stop.  An emotional eater who was torn with every spoonful of ice cream knowing in essence that I was killing myself with every bite.  Yet spiraling for over two years with not being able to be in control for more then a few weeks at a time.  Wondering often, “When exactly did I lose control of my life?!”

My 40th birthday was approaching in the spring and I knew I did not want to start the next phase of my life with my five foot one inch frame carrying a morbidly obese amount of weight.  I prayed for the courage and strength to commit to taking my life back.  One day I looked ahead on the calendar to see when exactly my 40th birthday hit.  And, there was the sign I prayed for, April 12, 2009 was Easter Sunday.  Easter, the day of resurrection.  The day of new life.  The tears streamed and I knew I’d had enough.  Time to reclaim my life and find the girl who felt alive when reaching for goals and chasing her dreams. I looked at the tired, dull eyed reflection in the mirror and said out loud, “I want more and only I can make that happen”.
