Hey everyone,
I have been away from the weight loss forum for a couple of months. I have been taking some time to try to figure out what the heck I am doing. I was feeling pretty lost for a while and felt that I needed more support right in front of me. My girlfriend and I started a group that doesn't just focus on losing weight. We talk about all forms of being healthy. It doesn't matter if you are trying to lose weight, gain weight or just get enough sleep, it is all part of living a better life. We didn't want a group meeting to interfere or be an excuse for not exercising... So, we start our meetings with a 1/2 hour to 45 minute walk. I HATED walking until i met my great friend Cerella here on the WLF. She has made me realize how important it is to take responsibility for yourself and your actions. Plus i LOVE chit chatting when we walk, makes it all quite painless. *well, emotionally anyways* lol! Coming here is what has truly made me realize how incredible it is to have support and of course give support. I still struggle, but I am gaining the strength and knowledge to get more control of my life.
I have realized that it is time to come back here to the WLF and be part of this wonderful group of people.
Michelle :)

oh my goodness Cerella, i just read back a bit...You said the nicest things.. brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad you are happy about all the changes that are coming your way, even if they may feel a little scary... I meant it when i said you are a smart woman. You deserve to be happy and I love being part of it all. Most of all, I love having your friendship and seemingly never ending support. You've added to my life just as much, and i really do mean that.
Michelle :D

its great to be back!!! I thought my timing was pretty good. I just happen to look up in your diary and see my name mentioned. lol. I was thinking...that can't be me she's talking about, and..sure enough it was. It was a wonderful way to come back to the group actually. Especially cuz it was unexpected. You are a great friend Cerella. :)
 
It's a good morning today..as I drag my butt out of bed not quite kicking and screaming, but definitely not in a Tigger bouncy kind of way. I have a ton of things to do today but have gotten up early to fit in a walk with a friend of mine. One of the goals I am trying to achieve is to do whatever it takes to fit in my exercise. I find that I am wayyyyyyyy too good at talking myself out of it. Therefore I made it a goal to stop doing that. One small achievable goal at a time is the approach I am presently taking towards losing weight.

Well I had a pretty busy day today. I started off my day with a 2 mile walk with my girlfriend Steph. She definitely keeps the pace up. It was all great, though my back is a bit sore today. Not related to the walking, just a bit strained at the moment.

Breakfast:
source zero yogurt
kiwi
1 scrambled egg

Lunch:
basil pork and plain rice (Chinese) very good and lean

Dinner:
citrus salad (from Kelsey's restaurant)
Tossed salad with oranges, walnuts, fetta and shrimp skewers. Was very good
Snack before bed
Carrot sticks
 
Today was a really nice day for me. I was supposed to go to a BBQ, but my back was just feeling too sore to sit in lawn chairs. Cerella, Taneesha and I had lunch and it was very relaxed and was exactly what I needed. I have been packing all day. I am so excited about moving into my new house with my boyfriend. I'm feeling very inspired. Its good too because Daniel lost almost 100 lbs on his own so he knows what I go through and is completely supportive. Its a great thing to have the people you love, in your corner helping you fight.

Hey you - just droppin in to say hi - Ive been pretty emotional lately and my mind has just been in stupid places...is this all due to change ie ie ie...how did your day at the lake and swimming go ???
 
Yayyyyyy.... I made it here! I've decided to take a few minutes to catch up on here, before packing. Hugsssssssssss Cerella....Hope you feel better when you wake up...I know you are feeling pretty emotionally wiped. Im here for you. I am trying to eat healthy while being surrounded by a mountain of things that need to be sorted through, tossed, sold, packed or given away. Why I do this crap to myself, i will never figure out.
I think im doing ok though, Have been talking with a councilor with regards to my eating habits and frustration. This is new for me, so we will see how it all goes over the next month or so. I'll feel a bit more relaxed after the move is done. Until then, I will just do the best i can to be focused.
Michelle :)
 
oh man I hate packing!!!!! lol. Im taking a break from it for a few minutes to record on my diary. I have not been eating the greatest this past week cuz im craving tons of comfort food. Today i started my day with a big cheese stick...and water..lol. Things will be easier when i am settled into the new house with Dan.
