View KLPEARSO's food & exercise for this day
Hello Friends, I've been gone since February as my life has had many twists and turns. 
I totally lost track of myself and gave up. Yes, me. I actually let it all go for some time but feel that I had good reasons. With my husband and I going through hell, I lost my job and a couple weeks after that I fell on the damn tub while cleaning it and broke my ribs. Go figure! 
So I decided that I was going to take the time off to reflect on myself and build on my self esteem, what is going to motivate me to do this for real and at last and why am I doing this? I came up some pretty astonishing results. First of all, I wasn't doing this for the right reason and definitely not for myself. Second, I really needed a mental break from "dieting". I'm healed from the broken rib and my relationship with my husband is finally on the uphill and doing well. So now I'm back. 
I've discovered that not only was I doing this for all the wrong reasons, but I was doing this by myself and trying to accomplish huge goals within a short amount of time. I was never looking at it from day to day, but looking at the end result. BAD NEWS and A BAD IDEA!!! So now I'm setting up mini goals with rewards for myself that are not food rewards! My rewards before were always food that I wasn't allowed while dieting. So that's the first biggest change to my plans. Second, start doing this from day to day and only concentrate on day to day. The rest will take care of it self. Third, start exercising but this time start small and consistent and working up in small increments and move up and longer. Before I would schedule 2 hour work outs and never do them because they would take up so much time. I've decided that I just need to start doing something, even if it's a 15 minute walk everyday and work up from there. This will get me moving. So I'm hoping that my plans are better and more realistic. I've weighted myself and I'm at an all time high of 260! So now I have no where to go but down! I'll keep you posted if my revised plans are working or not.
Until we meet again my friends!
