Weighing In

Ok.  I am ready to get serious about taking my weight down.  I worked so hard to get it down just to have it go right back up in a blink of an eye.  It really is true what they say, "It takes only a week to put the weight on but a year to take it off."  I dont think it will take that long for me to take off mine.  At least I am crossing my fingers that it wont. 

Today I weighed in at 177.6lbs and I would really like to get down to 140 - 145lbs.  I believe that is a healthy weight for me and it wont make me stick skinny but it will make me healthy.  I have created some goal to help get close to this number and that is: Exercise a little each day, Dont eat past six, Drink lots of water, Get a smoothie in once a day. 

I can exercise a little or lot but as long as I get this body moving to let it know it needs to be active that is what counts.  I have always had great success when I stopped eating at six.  It gives the body time to digest and work off the days meal especially before bed time.  Which is another work out if you play your cards right.  Water and smoothies are good because they clean out the system in a sense.  You know you are getting rid of excess when you are using the potty.  I am just saying. 

Last but not least plenty of sleep which I can hear my bed calling me now.  Hope you all had a fabulous monday!!

Goals For #2012#

I was never one for making goals or sticking to them.  I knew what I wanted to do so I would do it without giving it a timeline or deadline.  Truth is we all have things to work on and it isn't going to happen over night, a year or even two, depending on the goal.  This year I want to set some goals and give myself the feeling of accomplishment and the knowledge that I can follow through and finish what I start.

So here it goes:

          * Keep Up With This Blog
           
               - I know it sounds silly but I tend to get bored with things so I want to keep up this blog and never let it go silent.

          * Write A Happy Thought For Each Day

               - I suffer from what people call depression.  Not something I like to claim but I cant hide  from the truth.

          * Be on the Ellen DeGeneres Show For The 12 Days Of Christmas

               - My kiddos and I have watched the Ellen show for a while now and this past couple 12 Days of Christmas my oldest looked over at me and said, "Why arent we that lucky?"  Not that luck comes from Ellen but I would love to attend and have my kiddos feel special.

          * Get Healthy: Physically, Mentally And Spiritually

               - Depression kind of messes with every aspect of your life and I kind of lost who I was as a person.  I ate my pain away, I didn't sleep as I should, and religion kind of scared me to pieces.  Even though I grew living a normal life and following the motions.  I want to be healthy and happy.

I will stop there because if I overwhelm the issue than it will never get done.  Here's to a positive and bright new future, journey and adventure!!
