It's more than just about the weight...
Tuesday, March 10th 2009
The greatest thing in the world is to know how to be one's own self - MontaigneI started this journey because I wanted to lose weight. I wanted to be proud of who I am; but I'm learning that takes so much more than losing weight and being healthy.
A recent Forum touched on how annoying it is when your working out and someone laughs at you (HALFTHEMAN). My first response was self-preservation. It hurts to be laughed at, I would want to get away and/or avoid the person/situation in t...
Pity Party is over
Monday, March 9th 2009
Pity Party is now official over. I'm moving -on!
p.s. I loaded my before and after pictures. Check out the before! I wanted that posted so that anyone who thinks I don't understand what their going through can see it. I do know what their going through, I've been there, done that...and it's not easy doing it alone. I want to be there for anyone who needs support. I want to cheer them on their success, comfort them when they fail, and beam with pride when they reach their goal weight....

Have you ever wanted something so bad it hurts? I joined the 10 lbs in 10 weeks challenge. I wanted to lose one pound each week; regardless if I lost more than a lb a week(s) previously. I wanted one pound, one measly little pound, each and every week. I know I'm at a healthy weight now. I know I should be ecstatic with the progress I've made. I know. I know. I know. It's selfish, it's vain and I wanted it.
I gained a half pound.
. A half a pound. OMH, I'm acting this way ...

My enemy, my friend.Food is my friend.
I eat for pleasure. I eat to celebrate special occasions, family gatherings, holidays, relieving stress with co-workers, romantic dinners with my husband, bonding one on one with my children. Eating for pleasure serves its purpose. I can't eliminate it, for it is my friend.
I eat for nourishment. I eat to strengthen my body. I eat for strong bones, powerful muscles, flexible limbs, shiny hair and healthy teeth. I eat to prevent sickness ...
How do I balance it all out, without giving up the things I love?
Thursday, March 5th 2009
Cardio, Cardio, Cardio. I love Cardio. Which goes against my favorite healthy lifestyle rule "Moderation in all things". Not that i want to cut back on my cardio, I just want to add more weight/strength training and stretching/yoga. I had a good balance at one time, but it seems when the walls of time start closing in, strength training and stretching are the first to get cut. I need to figure out a way to balance those elements in my life, without cutting cardio.
I love card...
