Good-Bye Past - Hello Tomorrow!

I would like to share this here bc I can look back on it when needed and it may help others.

:waving:

This was posted at my forum.

A member responded to how it is so easy to put weight-loss off/last bc it's hard.

I replied again..

**Make 2008 GREAT!**

A New Year for a New You!

Talk with your doctor if needed and just decide that TODAY is the day you will begin a new journey.

Don't wait till tomorrow.

Start now.

Even as you read this, if you have had unhealthy foods/junk, just start right this minute with better choices/portion control.
Go take a walk or get in some sort of exercise before the day is over.

Everyday is a fresh start with no mistakes in it yet.

Just remember:

If day 1 has mistakes - So What!

Day 2 will start off Fresh and New.

Day 1 will never come if you keep saying these things:

"I have already messed up today, I'll start tomorrow."

"I need to go shopping."

"I'll start fresh on Monday."

START NOW!

Read the threads in this section to help you possibly find a starting point or to gain ideas/excitement.

Check with your doctor as well.

Go to the library or a discount book store and look for healthy cookbooks and Non-Fad Diet Plans.

Open an account with Fit-Day and start logging exercise/food.

A New Year For A New YOU is waiting!

My reply back to member:

I hear ya. :hug2:

It is so easy for our nature to reason ourselves right out of it.

I have tons of experience when it comes to this. :D

Everyone has their bag of rocks to carry. That does make it hard on us all, but if we try and take a few moments each day to polish those rocks, the journey can begin and be a lot smoother.

My bag of rocks?

Chemical Disorders - OCD - ADD -
Those can make my bag heavy at times and I want to give up.

Emotional Garbage - I gotta get that stuff to the dump.

It's Too Hard...{More Reasoning}
Man, this type of journey means hard work - time - discipline - organizing - planning - and commitment!

My new outlook is like this:

Yes, the above things are going to be tough sometimes.

My bag of rocks will be heavy and I'm going to feel like the journey is too long and hard to want/mess with.

BUT, if I stick it out and keep going; I will see the rocks in a new way. Before long they will be polished.
At the END of the journey I'll no longer have rocks;
I'll have Gem Stones! :grouphug:
 
Hey TX Sunshine girl! I'm so happy to see your back into your groove again and doing so much better!! It makes me happy to see others around me doing well. Hope you have another FANTABULOUS day today!! Stay focused and Stay Strong!!!!!!
XOXOX
hugs to ya
Sneeker Poo

PS, what movie did you watch?
 
Hi Stacy

It really is great that we are in the same team again! I am not even going to ask whether anyone considers raisins to be junk food as a joke as I would be so upset if someone said "yes" and I couldnt have them or I would get kicked out.

It is also great how you are so controlled again with your food and exercise - it is like you have rediscovered your determination to make it all happen, whatever the cost.

I checked out Kimberly's diary - you know that both Kimberly and I will nag you if we think that you are slacking off.

Have another goal reaching day. Every day seems to be goal reaching since your fresh start though!:hurray:

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
Hello Ms. Goalreacher! How's your day going dear? Hope you're feeling well today. Glad you're on my team. Now let's kick some azz!
 
Thanks Sneeker-Poo! :hug2:

{netflix} I watched Stardust. Loved that movie!

{own these} Tonight I'll watch the Spitfire Grill & Corrina-Corrina! Love those and haven't seen them in a while.

Margaret:
Yer so funny. ;)

Thanks. I'm doin' my best.
I'm so excited we are team-mates again! WooT! :sifone:

Cita! So glad we are also team-mates! WooT! :sifone:

Been busy at my forum today..
I needed to clean up old threads - move stuff around - and I'm still creating new topics/categories.

I hope to be done soon. :)

Once finished, I'll catch up in diaries here!

:hug2: for all.
 
What is Stardust all about? Is that the one with Michelle Phiffer in it?
I love the Spitfire grill and Corina Corina, I've seen both so many times it's crazy! But they are ones I will watch every time they come on tv.

Hope you get all your stuff done today!!! have a good evening girlfriend!
Hugs back to you!
Sneeker Poo
 
Yep! That's the one.

Claire Danes is the Fallen Star...

Michelle is the witch..

Such a great movie with a Lord of the Rings type feel!

Whelp - our burgers are almost ready..

Yep..Usin' my new grill. :D

I will then pig out on chocolate to store up for the week bc of the bonus in challenge!

:smilielol5: J/K

:p
 
Have no fear, Margaret--raisins are NOT junk food!!

Just remember, Stacy--Jillian was the red team trainer before Kim came along. So just think of it that way. :D

I'm also loving your new and improved outlook and attitude. Keep it up and you'll go far, my darlin' Sugar Lips!!

I tell ya, I love my new grill! :)

Dinner was a snap and an easy clean up.

My cals are very terrible today! :toetap05: TOO LOW!

I just can't believe how low they are.

This cannot become a habit.

I have to make time to eat/care for myself.

I just got so involved with projects/tasks today, I couldn't bring myself to stop.
I really do hate my OCD..
Hubby's work is sending us updated ins. info. and I will find a dr.

I hope there are new meds out that will help me get some control.

Hey girly!!!
Sorry I haven't been over to the cafe since the first day. I just have gotten soooo busy again. I know you understand that! LOL
Sounds like everything is going well for you.
I don't know but I thought your cals looked fine. I think mine might have even came in lower after my exercise.
I was thinking about eating more but hubby told me that if I wasn't hungry then I shouldn't eat. So I took is advice for once! LOL
Hope you have a GREAT WEEKEND!
 
YIKES, you certainly need a bit more on the calorie intake, your body alone burns a lot just getting up every morning and I think anything under 1500 will leave you tired and run down. I know you usually don't eat this low, so I'm not worried. AHHHHH A new grill, mmmmm we grill out ALL the time, actually I grilled out Tuesday night, Chicken breast and hot links for the boys. It was FRIGID outside, but hey there is no better taste from meat other than juicy grilled. MMMMMMMMMMM

Tx Sunshine I want you to have a butt busting weekend!! Stay focused and stay energized, I know you can do it, and you know I'll be running right next to you, because we are right around the same weight and well, I can't have you running around looking all skinny on me now can I??? LOL LOL LOL, yes I can, YOU DESERVE it!
Hugs to ya!
Sneeker Poo
 
:waving: Hi ya Bell..Of course I understand.
My Calorie Range is at least the 1,300's - Max bein' 1,700

It was too low for me. ;)

*****

Sneeker-Poo: LMBO! :hug2:
We will get skinny together.
The grill is a George Foreman -indoor!- :hurray:
My sissy Steph gave it to us for C-Mas.
I just love it!
It was so easy to use and clean up.

Plans Today:

I'm in the BL Challenge and this is Day 1 {Red Team}

My weight is 174.6 ??
Now, this is just plum crazy and has me stumped?

A few days ago I was 173.2

RHC isn't due for a couple of weeks, so I have no idea re: #'s..

I know it's not fat/real 1.4 lb. gain

Maybe it's water?

Anywho,

I have some errands to run today - need to exercise - and do some light chores.

Have A Goal Reachin' Friday Everyone!

OH..BTW...

My son Cory will be 14 tomorrow! :cry:

I always tease him that it's not until 5:14 PM when he came out.
:rofl:

He does not like cake, so I will be makin' a Chocolate Cream Pie.. That's what he wants every year.

:reddevil: This challenge started at a bad time! :biggrinjester:

One good thing though: I use SF Puddin' - Skim Milk - FF Cool Whip
The only thing I can't change is graham cracker crust.
I also grate fresh chocolate shavings on top..
 
You can do it girlfriend, don't give in to any of those treats!! save yourself a piece of pie for next week, when this weeks bonus is done!

It's funny how we are right about the same weight. LOL LOL your my height right?? I'm 5.6 1/2. And those indoor grills are Great!!


PS, I left you a message in Omega's diary. LOL LMAO
 
HeeHaw, I just replied! :sifone:

Thanks Kim...I sure will try.. It's gonna be pretty damn hard though.
LOL

Thanks Paul!

YEP I saw it, and now I understand why I'm a Poo! HAHAHAHA

I have 100% confidence in you, that you will do just fine!!! I know you want this weight loss as bad as I do right now, and I'm determined to do whatever it takes right now. LOL LOL I did so bad in the last challenge, I'm in serious need to rectify that.
 
Little Personal Goals:

My AVON Lady called me back and said the new books were in.

I told her to bring them by tomorrow..{I told her the first of Dec. I wouldn't need any till I called bc I knew I wouldn't get to buy anything. lol
I'm the type of person that does not like to window shop - browse through catalogs if I can't buy at least one item!}

Anyway, on to the Little Persoanl Goals:

After my "falling off the wagon episode," everything stopped.

I need to get back to my strict skin care routine and fixin' myself up more.

Time for manicures/pedicures to!

It's so funny how the little things can give you more pep - want to - and will power.

I guess if you feel pretty, it helps to keep rolling forward and ahead.

I'm an AVON freak bc I used to be a rep and got myself addicted! ;)

I use everything - and mean everything!

I love their ANEW line for your face/neck = moisture/wrinkle care.

I need to start using that 2 x again.

I also need to lotion up everyday with my Skin-So-Soft line and use my cellulite cream before bed!!

I do my own manicures/pedicures..{I have equipment bc of bein' a rep/beauty advisor for over 3 years.}

I know if I can get back to my lil routine I'll feel better/look better which will help boost me up during my weight-loss journey.
