I Have Been MIA...

I am going to be honest and say I have been dealing with sick kids and some extracurricular things since my last post and I am using that as my excuse for not sticking to my goals....I will always be honest and let you know when I am not doing what is that I need to do to continue my weight loss. Some places I have failed:
  1. I have not fulfilled my water intake every day.
  2. I have not eaten a well balanced meal 3 times a day. (I was skipping meals to compensate for not so good higher calorie food)
  3. I have not worked out since last Friday (Since I do 5 days a week M-F, that equates to missing 3 days so far this week).
I had a talk with my coworker Patricia and she had me motivated and back on track. I can honestly say I was not eating bad per say but not enough and not make the very best choices I could have made. I am starting fresh in that next bite as I say....I will be back at the gym at 5:30 am and I am not going to let the extra sleep I think I need get me down. I have to add that although I have not been the best I have not gained but I have not loss any weight either which means I have defeated myself in this short period of time but I will NOT FAIL!!...

Today I drank all of my water. I consumed the following: Breakfast: 1 gala apple
Lunch: a tossed salad w/ 2 tsp of Low Fat Balsamic Ving and 1 apple sauce cup and Dinner: 2 dry measuring cups of tuna casserole and 2 garlic toast. I should not have eaten the garlic toast but I called myself eating half and did not use control.

Here is an article my sister sent me today which is really good......This woman loss 125 Lbs in 9 months with healthy eating and exercise...that is it...the 2 essential elements of weight loss...no pills, gimmicks etc...Read it if you want to be inspired...http://photos.essence.com/galleries/meet_biggest_loser_tamara_harbison?xid=032509-Enews-Wednesday-tamara-robinson-imglink

Focus and Execute as Shea would say...and tomorrow is a new day filled with new motivations and desires to get it right....One Day At A Time!!

    What an exciting article to read. She is half of where she was! She looks great. She made a commitment and suck with it. If you get off track, just get right back on. Don't be hard on yourself. Just don't give up. You are headed in the right direction. Keep of the good/hard work. One day at a time. I'm going to try out Universal Athletic club on Saturday. They are having an open house. I want to check out an 8 week program. I need to kick up the exercise!

    I had a rough week as well Shalana. Not making the best choices but not totally derailed. I did lose 1/2 lb so at least I'm going in the right direction. Sometimes our lives are just so busy that we don't take care of the most important person . . . ourselves. I like that you recognize that a poor choice is not failure. We have to make these choices for the rest of our lives, I think it will get easier as we go. Good Luck!
