Couch POTATO to "MARATHON" HONEY! :)

You know, it's so funny because I have SOOOO MUCH confidence in all of my weight loss clients SUCCESS, but sometimes I just don't feel that for myself. RIGHT NOW, I DO!!!! I just finished with a weight loss client of mine, and we are doing 15 sessions. Today is session 2 and their excitement and happiness and COURAGE to change their lives, really IGNITES my passion! I loveeeeeeeee each and every client, and my heart touches their soul it seems and I feel the love right back and admiration in their eyes. It's such a crazy feeling!!!! I feel SO GRATEFUL for each and every one of them in my life. I know that each is shaping me in my own special way, because I've realized I really after all do therapy on myself!~

I'm especially excited that one of my weight loss clients is VERY computer savy and is creating an interactive spreadsheet in which we could tap into each other and daily support LIKE WE DO HERE!!!! This one client is also building me my website!! What a great exchange!!!!!

I feel that through each and every client and their success in attaining THEIR GOALS, that I step just that much CLOSER TO MINE!!! They fuel my life and my passion!!!! I can't explain how amazing I always feel after a session with a client. I've realized that not only do I attract people with the same situations or circumstances or troubles, or lifestyles that I can relate to, but that as well I put myself into a state of Hypnosis while having sessions with them, and that their suggestions often RELATE TO ME in every way through their circumtances. I feel inspired and motivated and I'm LUCKY!!!!! Again, thank you GOD!!! (that letter to my fat, plus this inspiring client today, plus the hypnosis HAS ME RUNNING ON A HIGH!!!!!!!!!)

I love my profession!

Humans are such amazing beings. Dogs are really fantastic too! haha.
 
Hey Alta, I am not surprised to read that you work with people, I should have known given the other posts I have read in this thread. Some people have an exuberance that needs to be shared with the world and you appear to be one of them :)
 
Humans are great but sometimes I prefer dogs. My grandfather had a saying "the more I live and learn of man.... the more I love my dog"

Its a bit negative but after a hard day when I close the door I sometimes feel the same way.

Haha those same munchies hit me ALL THE TIME!! As your eating your like why am I doing this and then get up to get more. I agree that it's a big difference over bingeing on good food as opposed to packaged crap filled with sugar! Overall I don't think it was that bad - my binges are more like 3000 calories and you burnt some too while on that ball! If your friend would have came over and you got into the Rum it would have been worse! I love that you want to make it right today though instead of picking up bagels or grease on your way to work! Today is a new day and I trust you will do great!! No more doobies late at night, lol!! Or lock the cupboards first!
The way you think about those velvet cakes is the way I think about butter tarts - it's a love hate relationship! Have a great night Alta!

:smilielol5:! I'm gonna have to try these butter tarts you talk about so much! On the other hand though, maybe I shouldn't! ;) considering how much you love them! hahah

Thank God, the munchies didn't get me yesterday!!! :D!

I can HEAR THAT!! I know there have been times, especially lately, that I feel LAZY to have sex thinking about the work...;) ...I mean,...to get a good bump and grind takes some WORK...:D ...Eating is fun and simple. Not as great as sex, but still...much much more convenient! hahaha

....I notice when I have more weight than wanted there goes the sex drive OUT THE WINDOW! Like lately for me...:( Working on it! Working on it! Hope to get BUSY this weekend though! :reddevil:! hahah ;)!

HA!!!! Your grandfather was a WISE MAN!

I think my boyfriend can definitely relate a LOT. Those two are inseperable. :beating:!

I love to drive with the dog. Riding in the front seat, and we both look at each other and look away and push our faces closer to the open windows and push our nose out into the air...and DRIVE WITH THE WIND! hahah! ;)

Just me and the dog. :D! No talking required. Just ViVid Eyes, Vivid Eyes..and we can speak!

I'm REALLY enjoying my Bathroom workouts, because they get me winded and my thighs and arms burn, and today I'm SORE! It makes me re think about myself throughout the day, and realize that "SMALL STEPS ADDED TOGETHER AMOUNT TO A LOT!!!" It actually has been promoting me to move more when I get home, because I feel like I have already started and all I have to do is CONTINUE!! :D! I actually see my thighs getting smaller and my stomach and my ARMS too :eek: in just a few days!! It's amazing!!!!!! :D! Well worth it,...By the end of the week, I will have done THOUSANDS of squats and arm exercises that I would have not done other wise. NO MORE TALKING about I want better arms, and better legs. DO THAT SHIT, and MAKE IT COUNT!

I'm hungry for it :drool5:

hahah...leg exercises on the bus!! Way to go woman!! :cheers2:!!! Getting it done one way or another! Let's keep moving!!!
 
Awesome day Alta! I will have to try bathroom workouts too... that is a great idea! One time I was feeling so fat and gross about myself at work that I started doing jumping jacks in the break room! LOL I was hoping no one would walk in and be like... "wtf are you doing sarah..??" haha Also that must feel soooo good to see results already! I love being able to check myself out in the mirror and find things I LIKE... sometimes we are so focused on what we don't like and what we want to fix that we forget to appreciate our bodies for what they ARE and not what they AREN'T! Keep up those workouts.. little by little... and you will be kicking ass and taking names! Work those guns girl!!!

YES!!! Gotta love bathroom workouts!!!!

They make me want to keep my day PERFECT!! I see just a tiny bit of sweat on my forehead each time, as I squeeze the hell out of my body while I do them, and that little palpitation in heart rate tons of times a day makes me feel AMAZING!

My arms are shrinking like crazy.....actually what is more impressive is the fat shrinking between the boob and the arm, right by the pit!! YES!!!! That is so annoying...LOL!!!
 
AWesome work getting back into it Alta! Your day looked full of amazing things and I know you can keep that momentum going! My sex drive has been out the door the past year - I don't know what's wrong with me - I barely ever get horney anymore. I think maybe I am putting too much into my workouts and need to put that much into the bedroom workouts! I've only been having like one orgasim a month and it used to be like at least 3 a week - sometimes 3 in a day heck! I must admit I haven't been trying much but the last couple weeks I have put in some effort and the pay off was good so I guess I just need to put in effort everyday like I do with my weight loss.
Oh I love the bathroom workouts too - I do them often because it's so cold in my office and that warms me up right away!! Have a great weekend friend!
 
Do you do bathroom workouts too? I thought I was the only one. I like to try to get in a little exercise at work, because when I come home at night, it's just too hard to motivate myself. My coworkers have caught me jogging in place in front of the photocopier while I wait for my copies. Now they think I am weird(er). I keep fighting the urge to drop and do a few push ups in my office.
 
hEY Guys! I did have a healthy weekend, with some Raw drinks! I counted calories for the most part. One really drunk 5am Jack in the box encounter :blush5:! But included exercise on all days!! My pants aren't feeling much looser, but my MIND is just right. I've been having some added stress at work, and that's why I've been away. The stess manifested itself into my neck last night and BAM...a CRICK in the neck today and I can't turn my head to the left! WTF!!!! Uggg...basically, to get to the point, I caught to people talking shit about me yesterday and I could hear them from the bathroom where I sit!!! :eek: So, I couldn't hold it in and gave the one who was talking the most (whom I constantly work with and tries to be friends with me) a peice of MY MIND and told them to talk shit to my face, because I don't come here to make friends. I come here to WORK! ..and I don't stoop down as low as to talk shit behind anyone's back, so if YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, SAY IT TO MY FACE! ...I don't fuck around when I don't like you anymore. I completely IGNORE!..simple as that....now they just better stay out of my mojo...:)....but yes, calories,... I've been writing things on a paper- semi half ass- but will cometo log it later :D! Having a great morning so far!!!

GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!! :party:!!! (I do have GREAT news to share with you guys though!!!) I'll come back and tell you guys all about it!!! :D!!!

So...I've been realizing that "When one door CLOSES, another one OPENS!!!"

...the director at my school (which I graduated from this past May) has not only asked me to be on the SUCCESS PANEL twice already in the past 2 months and speak in front of a LIVE class of Hypnotherapists that are beginning their journey, BUT AS WELL asked ME to TEACH a 2 hour class next month for NON HYPNOTHERAPISTS on "SELF HYPNOSIS" but as well, asked me TODAY if I would HOST 2 LIVE AUDIENCE SHOWS TOMORROW for HMI LIVE WEB TV tomorrow!!!!! :party:

He told me to bring my makeup, hair items, and 3 changes of outfits,..and that we will be shooting from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm!!! :drool5: OMG!!!!!!! I'm so EXCITED!!!! I can't hide it.!!!!!!!! :p..

I asked my job for the time, because OH WELL, they want to fire me anyway!! Might as well be there for the people that really want me!!! :biggrinjester:


....now the BIG QUESTION:...."WHAT THE FUCK DO I WEAR!?"

....and who said "THICK GIRLS CAN'T BE ON WEB TV! :smilielol5:!!"?

...we haven't talked about $$$...I hope they pay me!...but if not, I'm doing it so that eventually I can teach a class for the American Hypnosis Association, and they generally have about 50 people take their classes and pay about $150 EACH, that goes to the hypnotherapist, the association, and who ever else wants to BITE that shit away. HAHHAH ;)!!!

...all in all....TODAY has been a GOOOOOOD DAY!!! My fear about the future is diminishing as we speak....
