Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

[jzthedetermined]

Thanks!!! I hope all the nicknames, good times, inside jokes, and yes... life lessons I share with my kids will help them look back and reminise with a smile. Sometimes I'm scared that they will resent their mom because she is missing the everyday things with them. I want them happy and confident in who they are and how much they are loved. I see, from your experiences, that is possible! I don't know what this has to do with weight loss(you know, this whole forum), but it sure has to do with being a better person. Maybe that's what most of us are after anyway...Improve our health to improve our lives. Thanks again.

Your kids will be happy and confident because YOU love them and are a constant in their life... they may have days where they're sad because "mommy's not around" but as long as they have you to talk them through it, they'll be fine. YOU are making memories! Before you know it, those kids will be grown and what your (soon to be) ex missed out on, nothing will ever replace... her loss... your kids are blessed to have you!

If I could give you ONE word of advice (sorry to hijack your diary Alta) don't say negative things about her to your children (not saying you are now). You don't have to make her seem like a pretty princess fairy who flew away to live in her flower kingdom when it comes to why she's not around, but don't make her out to be a bad person either... your kids will figure out what kind of person she is on their own, in their own time. You just keep doin' what you're doin'!

Hey Alta baby! Just droppin' in while the pounds are droppin' off!!! LOL!!! How YOU doin'?

 

[Alta818]

you went out and didn't drink Alta? WHOA!! I'm so proud of you!! OOUUU!!

Thank YOU!!!! I know I know.......this CHANGE happened in my BRAIN!!! IT CLICKED!!! ....I LOVE IT!!!

 

[Alta818]

Damn Alta, why you gotta go and make me cry like that? It's nice to hear that from you. You turned out fabulous and that gives me hope for her. I sometimes wonder if I've messed her up. But to this day she is ones of the sweetest girls I've had the pleasure of knowing. She just makes me want to try harder.

She will have a fabulous life I just have to picture it and believe it. I've struggled before and I'll do it again but we always end up where we need to be.

Thank you for your words and support and love. You are an amazing person with a huge heart and I hope you know how special you are.

Only an amazing person themselves would be able to recognize another!!!

....thank you for the compliment!!!!

DAY 7 no drinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soooo....I would LIKE TO CONGRATULATE myself for BEING DAY 7 of no drinking!!!!!!! .........I'm really excited for the NEW MENTAL change that has occurred.....truly AMAZING!!! Honestly, it was a bit difficult this past weekend...but NO....I stayed strong....and NOW I feel like YEAAAA this is EASY, SMOOTH SAILING!!!!! I mean I always knew I had it in me....but it had just been sooooo long since I was mentally prepared to do this!....4 years to be EXACT~!!!!

...I think what clicked was that DAMN this is such a waste of my time....and what I'm talking about is all the efforts I've been putting forward. Meaning......let's take a GOOD LOOK at what I have been doing here in the past months......

......well......since MID MARCH here....I've been doing exercise, going to the gym, spinning, running, yoga, pilates, and BLAH!!! DRINKING ...ruining my efforts, gaining and losing the SAME 10lbs........going on Vacation...taking weeks to get back on track...eating the wrong things after the vacations that cause all that weight to creep back on WAY FASTER than it fell off.....UGGGGGHHHH!!!

....sooooo THAT's what clicked....okay here....now let's see....almost a FULL 6 months in and WHAT HAVE I LOST.....almost NOTHING ......so I said FUCK THIS......my desire became STRONGER than my EXCUSES now!!!....I can honestly say, that before when I would say ohhhh, I quit drinking,....I really damn well KNEW that the relationship between us wasn't REALLY over!!!! SO once again I was LYING to myself, and what would happen....YUP.....I WOULD DRINK, and EAT late night and BAM unwanted LBS again!!!!

....so 4 years ago now, when I did this....I WANTED it like no other...and I GOT IT...I got what I wanted...I worked hard, quit drinking for 10 months or 8 months...something like that...and I did get to 139 lbs.....I WAS HAPPY there!!!...I could have gone more to be really happy....but I WAS in a good place! So I basically got tired of it...tired of me...tired of the LAME excuses...tired of the POISONOUS drinks that got me no where, tired of the lack of results, and tired of the lack of change in action! I realized I was sucking some MAJOR ASS and guess who's....YUP MY OWN!!! So instead of investing MONTHS and MONTHS and getting nothing, I decided after I got back from VEGAS.....with my new INSPIRATIONS, to really do this and GET WHAT I WANT!! Stop holding myself back from everything I desire.....so I QUIT, and STARTED doing the damn thing....NOW I WANT to loose like 5 lbs a month....not too much to ask for...but HELLA HELLA NEEDED!!!

.....so with this all being said....I DID IT PEOPLE.....there is no GOING BACK now....at least until VEGAS but still after that,...I think I can come back and DO IT AGAIN...go DRY!!! .....

...I went to one bar, one party, one restaurant, and made some YUMMY drinks for the man at home this past weekend....and I'll TELL YOU ALL......what a RELIEF....I MADE IT!!! I DID IT....and I DIDN'T want ANY OF IT, the LIQUOR!!!

.....I CAN SAY...I LOVE MYSELF now....and I WANT THIS....and FOCUS is my NEW MIDDLE NAME!!!!! HERE HERE.....I can't wait for REAL RESULTS!!!.....~~~!!!

....also JILLIAN MICHAELS.....is kicking my ASS ....B(*^#%&(^#~!!! Gotta LOVE HER THOUGH!!!

 

[Curvie Girlie]

Soooo....I would LIKE TO CONGRATULATE myself for BEING DAY 7 of no drinking!!!!!!!

YAY!!!! Awesome girl!

I myself have had a glass here or there of wine, but for the most part, have not been drinking in excess of that since the 1st--so here's to being dry!

Thanks WOMAN!!! I love that we have both quit drinking....less beer talk!!! ........YAY!!! Cheers to you too for QUITTING....and a cup here and there is cool....!!! It's funny cause I started realizing that I AM SOCIAL!!! You know how a lot of people drink to get buzzed and be more outgoing....well...not me...I would drink one for the taste of the beer...alcohol doesn't do me like that...and ALSO.....because when going out have you noticed that it takes people a lot longer to REALLY loosen up and dish out all the FUN JUICY GOOD TIMES & TALKS!!! Well.....I noticed, and I realized that in the midst of WAITING for them to really loosen up....I WAS GETTING CRUNK in the meanwhile....LOL!!!! So now, I am enjoying getting them CRUNK faster....LOL....so I don't have to wait around that LONG til people become all HAPPY, CRUNK, and SOCIAL, cause I'm READY!!! ......AND one PLUS: DRUNK PEOPLE FIND ME HILARIOUS FOR SOME REASON!! I love it ...a BABY AUDIENCE!!!! LOL!!!!!!

Im so jealous you have girlfriends to workout with... mine are totally uninterested... granted I have Stephen but his level is soo above mine its hard to push myself sometimes... I think If I had a gym buddy closer to my level that I would push harder.

Ha I can't even believe how small I am getting!!! Its crazy!! I never thought I would want to be in the 130s (I didnt think my structure would look good) but now I'm all for it!! 135 here I come!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!! I'm so happy for you....the 130's is AMAZING!!!! .......I can't wait to be there!!!! I know it is hard to find workout friends...and I know how you feel at someone your level too, because it's hard to motivate yourself, yet motivate others who don't want to be inspired by it.....SOLO is GREAT too....mind expansive!!! YOU GO GIRL....looking HOTTER and HOTTER everyday!!!

 

[Curvie Girlie]

I want to go down and show some people this DVD and spread the WORD ya heard!?!?! ....I'm so AMAZED at my boyfriend...he has really motivated me MORE.....can you beleive in the last 48 hours.....he made about $500.00 extra dollars in daily depositss in just showing his friends and acquaintances this DVD....!!! What's really funny is that I will talk to him a lot at home, LOL....about my business, which I offered to him as well...and he took a couple weeks ago, but did nothing with right......well NOW after VEGAS & the days of inspiration, I guess he came back with a whole new mentality.....so he just started showing the dvd the past 2 days, and bam he PROTECTED 6 more people in this WORLD from the beasts of the LEGAL SYSTEM, and the innocent without representation! "IT'S BETTER TO BE RICH & GUILTY, than to be INNOCENT AND POOR!".....I'm so proud of him...and NOW I really think he is seeing how easy it is....which in RETURN has really motivated me to go WORK SON, WORK....I got people to see and DVD's to POP!!! But yeah.....tonight...GYMO LOL....with ALANE83 and my friend who is supposed to train us a little bit with his GUNS!!!! ooooh....SO YEAAAAA!!!
