Your Aspirations Are Your Possibilities

The first ingredient of your success is to dream a great dream.
High expectation aalways precedes high achievement.
You much dream big and think big to be big.

Once your mind stretches to a new idea it will never go back to it's original dimensions.
If you think little gorals you can expect little achievement.
Think big goals and you'll win big success.

You're as small as your controlling desires, or as great as your dominant aspirations.

Thank You

For the last couple of months I feel behind in my comments. I appreciate all the comments I receive here and like to give the respect back and answer you. I fell behind, but last night I had a bit of time on my hands and went through all my entries and commented back.

I realized I have a lot of support and I want to thank each and everyone of you for being there for me and reading my blog. Thank you for your kind words, encouragement, and tips.

There were a few other things I wanted to say and had it all set in my mind before I went to bed, and now I can't remember... it's not 8am yet... so please bare with me... my brain doesn't wake up 'til then. If it comes back to mind I'll most-likely be editing this entry... :)

One Day Down

Thursdays are my weigh-in days... since I've been falling on the wagon every week - Thursdays are my fresh start days... the probably is lately I haven't even been getting through Thursday with out missing something water, vitamin, going over on my points, etc.

Yesterday, I drank all my water, took my vitamin, and stay with in my points. I did go over 3, but earned 4 from all the walking I did... I kicked ass yesterday.

Today I'm not doing bad, I just had my last meal. I'm using up some of my flex points today... it's the first day of TOM and I'm starving... I'm going to use about 10 points, but will probably earn back a few before bed.

Ross and I are going camping this weekend, we're leaving early in the morning... can't wait to get there. I've brought some fat free pringles, and some fruit to take with us for snacks... I've got chicken and veggies to make shish kabobs... and tomorrow we're gonna pick up some thinly sliced steak and other supplies for a healthy romantic camping trip... speaking of the trip - I've better get going got lots of stuff to do before tomorrow morning...

Happy Weekend!

New Focus

I haven't written a from the heart post in a very long time. Things have been crazy around here... I'm not sure if I shared, I think I did... my mother had a pinched nerve in her back which had her bed-ridden for a few weeks. It was very painful for her and very stressful for me.

I've been off program last week... not binging, just not journaling or counting points. Last Thursday, I went to a meeting at my daughter's school - the nurse told me she was very concerned about Vi's weight, and wants her to lose some. She feels she's put on about 30 pounds since the beginning of the year.

My daughter has been to hell and back this year. I can't even begin to tell you everything that's happened since 9th grade started... I'm finally getting her back on track and working on getting her back to being her... including a new school next year. She tried out for this art school and got in! I'm so proud of her... anyway, back to the weight thing. We talked about it and decided we're going to work on us this summer... forming healthier habits, getting our apartment in order - purging a whole bunch of stuff and fixing this joint up... turning it into a place we LOVE BEING not just coming home too.

Lately with everything going on I've been too drained to do any cooking. For dinner a lot of times we've headed over to Jack In The Box or someone else convient. Since the meeting at her school (Thursday) we have not had fast food. Which actually wasn't very hard. I had totally forgotten about Smart Ones and Lean Cruizines... how could I forget? I stocked our freezer with the meals for our dinners... which has made it so much easier for me. I don't have to worry about cooking dinner or going to pick something up. I do want to start cooking dinner again, but I have to clear some things off my plate first.

This past week I did some thinking... I've been doing Weight Watchers since September 2008. I got down to I think it was 181... and now I'm back up to 191 with only a 7 pound loss... it seems like the more I think about the weight I've gained back the more I'm gaining...

So this week I'm going to try something new... I'm not going to worry about the scale. I'm going to focus on staying with in my points range - that's it!

I've decided to take my weight down off the side bar of this blog so that when I log in it's not in my face. Today I didn't think about what my weight was on the scale... instead I was prepared and focused on my points allowance and what I was putting in my mouth.

I really thought about what I ate and if it was truely worth the point(s).

It's last now and I won't be doing any more eating... I did go over my points by 3 but I earned them back by walking... so far today I've walked 5.56 miles and I'm still not done! I've got some cleaning to do and some more water to drink before I head to bed.

I can do this, I can stay motivated, lose this weight and set a good example for my daughter.

Today's Change

I know lately I've been totally off program... trying and trying again... but this morning I work up for a few seconds before the alarm and found my motivation again... I don't know where it came from but it was there.

A thought popped in my head.

Friday my BFF rushed her sister to the hospital. Her sister was diagnosed with Pancreatitis and gall stones... two conditions that can be caused by your diet. She's only 25 years old. She's overweight but not that much bigger than me. From the pain my BFF described her sister was in... I don't ever want to go there.

This morning I woke up and thought why can't I just get on program? What is my problem? I decided this morning I am not going to look at food as a cure all for all emotionals. I'm not going to use food as a pick me up or a reward. I'm going to have a different view of food.

Then I fell back to sleep.

When I woke up again for the day... I thought about going to get Chicken and Waffles because this weekend we tried a Waffle shop and I felt totally cheated by the crummy thin waffle. But I remembered my pledge this morning... how can I make a pledge like that and break it even before getting out of bed.

So far so good... I'm going to take it one day at a time. I had oatmeal for breakfast, pear for snack, and soup for lunch. I'll be having an early dinner and maybe a salad for snack.

I can do this. I will do this. I'll do it for me and to set an example for my bff's little sister... we can lose this weight. It's not impossible.

Happy Mother's Day

I'm sorry for the last daily points and posting a lot of recipes... it's been a crazy week. I don't remember if I mentioned but last Saturday my mother hurt her back. She hurt her back so badly we haven't been able to get her out of bed.

I've been taking care of her all my free time... I haven't journaled my food and have been off program. I don't feel good. I need to get back on but by the time it's time for me to cook for myself I am completely drained. I think I'm going to start having Weight Watcher shakes for dinner. I don't have time to prep my lunch so I've been having sandwiches... now if I can stick to those sandwiches, a shake for dinner and oatmeal for breakfast and watch my snacks I might be okay for now.

I hope you mother's out there had a good day. I still have my mother (thank God)... so it's not really a day for me... it's mostly for my mother, and somehow my daughter squeezes in there and gets special treatment too...

I wish I could of just relaxed this year... I think next year I'm going to take the day off... I'm going to take my mother to dinner, buy her a gift and call it a day. Today I spent the day running around and somehow squeezed a movie in there - it was my daughter's treat (too sweet of her)... we seen Obsessed. The movie was pretty good. Beyonce isn't a very strong actress... but I still like her. She's grown on me over the years.

Well it's late... I've better get to sleep now...

To Detox or Not To Detox

I didn't get back on detox today... so I'm debating weather to get back on program and just still count the weekend and today as detoxing or if I should restart frest completely tomorrow or just start off where I left off.
I'll decide... but either way I'm still with in my weekly points allowance which is good.

I had a sanwich for lunch... and figured while I'm at it I might as well have two hostess cupcakes... it's only 10-11 points for the package... but then I members... IT'S 10 OR 11 POINTS! I was already spending a large amount of points on the sandwich, I didn't want to get carried away and have the cupcakes. I also remembered how terrible I felt being off program. I don't want to go back there... so I skipped the cupcakes...

I expect a loss this week. Maybe not a 5 pound detoxing loss... but a loss which is a step in the right direction.

BUST

This weekend was sort of a bust... I went off my detox, but I'm back on tomorrow morning. I used up all my flex points, earned some activity points, and also Thursday I only had 12 points so some of those points were used this weekend. I shouldn't do it like that but this week I'll have too.

This weekend was suppose to be a relaxing detoxing weekend with my SugarBooger, but it didn't turn out that way... both his tenants in his duplex moved out... and my mother ended up injuring her back horribly... so we spend the weekend cleaning up his duplex and me caring for my mother... it's was very stressful... she can be demanding.

I stressed and stressed and well... I ate. I ate and ate... I ate things that were def not detox food... meat, chocolate, sugar, bread, tortillas... etc. I did however track and got a good amount of exercise in. I didn't count all the cleaning I did as exercise, instead I only counting the walking.

Well, I'm pretty tired and I have an early day tomorrow... so I've better hit the hay... Good Night... and here's to a losing Monday!

Day 2 of Detoxing..

I'm doing pretty good today. I'm getting more points in which is great, and more water... I'm almost done with m 6 glasses of water for the day, but I have to make up for yesterdays also... so I'm half done. At the rate I'm going I'll finish the 12 glasses.

Yesterday I think I walked over 16,000 steps... huh, I don't think I'll be able to do that today... I think I'll hit about 10,000 which is good. My goal for today is about 5750... I'm already at 6675.

I feel so much better being back on program. It's already passed 2pm and I'm not even tired or warn out... I even woke up in a better mood.

It's Friday, weekends are usually a major challenge for me - but I'm going to do good this weekend. I'm taking my own food to Ross' so there's no excuse. He's going to start detoxing tomorrow... with both of us on program and no kids it'll be easier staying on program. However, we do plan on drinking this weekend. Good thing I still have all of my flex points to play with...

I've had breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks... all for the low, low points of 12! I'm smashing fat!

Of course yesterday I only had 12 points all day... but I don't want to cut that much... I want to follow the Fat Smash Diet but also make my points. I'm going to do the best I can to get all my points. Really I don't think it's going to be a problem. Yesterday was just a really busy day for me. Regardless if I'm low this week next week I'll def be up after a day I go into Phase 2 which allows lean meats... they'll use up some points... I'm also allowed Avocado and some other goodies.

This Fat Smash Diet isn't so bad, yes it's be limitation but it's what I need right now. I need something to detox me from all the crap I've been putting in my body, as I move through the phases it gets easier... I like that idea.
Well it's the weekend, so I better get booging so I can start my weekend ASAP!

Happy Losing...
