Looking at things positively

Hey Lovers,

Yesterday was another productive day even though I was extremely tired I managed to take my behind to the gym and I burned an amazing 700 calories!! When one looks at things positively, life is so much better and I feel so much happier.  It is really hard to diet for many of us because food is like our source of comfort when we are sad, stressed, confused, tired, or simply celebrating life.  We enjoy food during gatherings, parties, or while at home watching television.  Food is everywhere especially those we call "bad foods".  But, this is something that we cannot change.  We have to look at things positively and have faith.

Weightless has always been a major issue for me where I have lost a tremendous amount of weight leaving me so close to my goal weight but then gained some of it back.  It is an everyday battle just like for most of you guys but with faith and positive thinking all things are possible.

So, with that note...today will be Day 3 at the gym and even though I am tired I am not going to give up because I know that I need exercise in my life!  Hopefully within the next three months I will start seeing some changes in my body...stay tuned for pictures and many more posts to come!

Starting over with a fresh new start

Hey Lovers,

Starting over is never easy especially for me as I have started over so many times.  I feel like I keep going thru the same cycle over and over and sometimes it is annoying but unfortunately this is life.  The last year or so has been extremely stressful with work, school, the family, and my personal life.  I have to say that its been rough but with the grace of God I have managed to overcome so many obstacles.  Today, I stand successfully having accomplished my Master's Degree in Psychology which I am extremely proud of myself but am I really happy?  I guess what I am trying to say as I have been saying the past few years is that my weight has really taken a toll in my life because I do not feel like the same person I was four years ago.  Jaelyn my beautiful daughter will be 5 years old come next May and I still have about 50 lbs to get to my goal weight.  Not to say that I have not lost any of my baby weight which I did but with life it slowly came back as if I didn't lose any weight.  Today I stand at a very uncomfortable weight which is driving me crazy.  But, for those that truly know me know that I am not a quitter.  As hard as it has been I am planning to not give up because eventually I will get to my goal weight.

I started this blog a while ago and at first I dedicated it to my weight loss but now I see that my weight loss is not simply my life.  I love to have fun, to go out, to read, dance, and to simply love my life.  This blog I will dedicate to sharing my life with you, the life of a women, mother, and wife who is as true as they come.  There will be good posts, bad posts, sad posts, funny posts because my life is not simply pretty and pink.  So, stay tune for some exciting posts as I lead you thru my life.
