godsbeloved79's Journey to a Healthier Me

godsbeloved79 · 12-04-2006, 02:09 PM

Ok. The past is behind me, the damage is done. In order to move on and be all that the Lord wants me to be, I have to get my act together. I don't care how many times I come here and think I'm going to start eating this way, it NEVER works. I have focused too much on be skinner, rather then being healthier. God has blessed me with a great husband, nephews and nieces to spread my love around. I want to be here for them, and the way that I have been treating my body, is not helping me at all. With all that said, I'm starting Induction over tomorrow, I have my book handy to read, and I'm going to go through the phases, as the book instructs me to do. I decided to start a new journal, for a fresh beginning. I will post my menus daily and post my exercise in my siggy area.

A special Thank you to those that have continued to support me, even when I fell off and on the wagon. It takes people as yourself to keep one motivated to stay the course.

btw - I went out today and purchased a cute top to where with a pair of jeans that are currently too small. They will fit soon, as I'm going to hit the Gym 3 times a week, and eat clean!

Stick with it you are going to do great! Stay prayed up and focused. Remember you already know what those HC foods taste like so don't give in. It'll be worth it in the end!

I think that is what is helping me like I told my husband you cant get frustrated because you dont see the weight come off over night. I just take it day by day I think that has been my problem in the past just wanting to be skinny which I will never be I just want to improve on what God has given me I know I can be a certain weight I have done it before and you were too we were there together and we will do it again. Just take it ten pounds at a time just work on getting back into onederland and then go from there

Godsbeloved,

I started induction today...we can do this thing. Hang in there! One day at a time...just like our walk with the Lord!

I clearly understand that failure is an event, not a person; that yesterday really did end last night; and that success isn’t final and failure isn’t fatal because I only fail if I quit.

Thank you for the poem, it speaks volumes!

godsbeloved79 · 12-04-2006, 09:59 PM

It's late. I'm still up and have planned out my meals and exercise for tomorrow. So here goes for my accountability:

Meals:

b/ bacon, eggs and cheese with 1 cup of green tea
l/ small salad and baked chicken wings
d/ green beans and baked chicken wings
s/ cukes with Italian dressing

Plenty of water!

Exercise:

30 mins treadmill / 30 mins weight training

AllieCat0817 · 12-05-2006, 05:19 AM

Girl you know how easy I get frustrated cuz I know you can do this. If I could, ANYBODY can. For real. Plus you are a praying person, so you know the strength that gives you. I will try not to give you any attitude! Do it do it do it.

AllieCat0817 · 12-05-2006, 05:21 AM

I also wanted to say, take the emotion out of it. I said this in another thread on the main lobby. All the 'I will try, oh I will do my best,' doesn't mean anything. Its what you DO, not that you try, that matters. You have to 'get over yourself'. I am not saying that to be harsh, and it is not specifically directed at you. But we all have to GET OVER ourselves - just get over it. Emotions can really mess us up. Get over it, take the emotion out of it, be HARD CORE and do this thing. And yes I really do have a heart. But it has it's place!

godsbeloved79 · 12-05-2006, 05:31 AM

Allie,

Thank you, sincerely! I have never gotten upset or offended by any post of yours. You keep it REAL. You have been there and you know what it takes. You also know that it can be done. I APPRECIATE your hard coreness

, the pats on the back and the you can do it, start over.........sounds good at the moment; but they don't give me that push. You let me know that it is either you do it, or you stay FAT and miserable. I can take the truth!

And you are very welcome for the support! Believe me, I definitely know how it is to have to start over. Love ya!!

Hey there Lynn how's it going ??????????

Meekness29 · 12-06-2006, 12:35 PM

Hi Lyn... just wanted to drop by and wish you well...

godsbeloved79 · 12-06-2006, 12:35 PM

I'm late with my posting today. I was sluggish this morning and I took a nap after taking the boys to school. No exercise to post, but I did do laundry. That counts for something.

Meals:

b/ sausage with 1 cup of green tea
l/ baked chicken wings - leftovers
d/ green beans and baked chicken wings
s/ cheese cubes or cukes

Plenty of water!
