Nkechi's Testimony and Confessions (I am gonna do this! For REAL this time.) - Page 10

123Nkechi · 12-13-2007, 12:10 PM

Hello all!

It has been hectic this past week. I am just getting around to eating lunch and I am too ashamed to tell you all what it is but I will say it is from Chickfila

. With the holidays and life I barely have time to focus on ME

. (Sigh) I guess things will slow down in a couple of weeks

.

123Nkechi · 12-17-2007, 08:41 AM

Hello Ladies!

I don't know if I told you or not but I hurt my pinky last week and its not that easy to type so I haven't posted much lately. Last week was very eventful to say the least. My aunt got sick and had to go in the hospital. I had 2 classes to teach and I have 2 this week to prepare for. My office adopted a family for Christmas but it was left up to me and the other social worker to do the bulk of the work to ensure that the family got what they needed for the holidays. Mr. C and I are on "friend" terms but I am getting the feeling that he thinks that it's more that it is. By Friday I was DONE. I treated myself by buying a fake designer purse at the end of the week and rested all day Saturday and Sunday.

As for diet...I have not been totally bad but not good either. I picked off of a pecan pie yesterday evening but trying to stay away from the sweets. I go to the GYN today so I know I am going to get a lecture from him about my weight and not going to my consultation for breast reduction surgery. I plan on asking questions about getting more tests for the PCOS to see of I have the cysts. We will see...

Affirmation of the Week

:

I will speak positive, think positive and be positive.

Lulu Belle · 12-17-2007, 06:25 PM

I hope things go well for you at the doctor. And i love your affirmation this week, i've had one kind of similar for awhile, "say nothing , to no one , about no one."
Kind of a reminder to tighten the lips. It's not so much about being positive, but just not flapping my gums to gossip.

Yeah, I am working on not speaking ill of anyone or anything. The Bible says that life and dealth are in the power of the tongue. I am choosing to speak LIFE

. That means no gossip, bad attitude (because it is hard to have one when you are being positive), and no negativity.

Hello There,

I hope you are having a wonderful day today. I've been away from the board for a few days.

Very postive affirmation Nkechi

Thanks! I think everyone's attendance on the boards have been low because of the holidays.

Lulu Belle · 12-18-2007, 05:01 PM

You're right, it seems alot of people are m.i.a. But i bet everyone is crazy busy. Just wait until right after christmas/new years, it'll be nuts here.

blessedtamekia · 12-18-2007, 06:15 PM

Yep!! It's the busy time of year. Once the New year rolls in everyone will be getting ready for the "Spring Flings" and aiming for new weight targets. Just watch and see!!!

123Nkechi · 12-19-2007, 09:38 AM

Yeah the boards will soon be flooded with those that are recommitting and making those ever so famous new years resolutions. Speaking of which...

I need a new exercise plan. My GYN said that I need to do more cardo exercise. I did notice that I lost and felt better when I worked out all 5 days of the week but it's so hard to fit in 5 workouts sometimes. I guess I need to dust off my BFL book but since I've been off the program for a couple of months

I think I need to start with something slower.
Any suggestions

???

I'm good Janice how are you? I'm trying to hang in there but the holidays are proving to be a little hectic.

123Nkechi · 12-20-2007, 04:31 PM

I'm working late tonight

preparing for a class I have in the morning. I am so ready for Christmas...

mstamika · 12-20-2007, 04:42 PM

I know what you mean about the exercising. My program is out of whack asn needs some serious reviving!! I'm going to try and take your lead and see what I can do about getting back on track exercise-wise.

Sorry to hear you are bogged down with work

but Christmas WILL be here soon

Lulu Belle · 12-20-2007, 05:36 PM

Praying for you to have a great friday.

123Nkechi · 12-21-2007, 11:57 AM

My class is over and everything went okay but I didn't feel prepared. Just glad that it's over. I am now sitting here in an empty office

. Everyone is either out on vacation or playing hooky from work. It's only me and another instructor that is known for taking extended lunch breaks

which is where she is right now. I haven't had lunch yet but since I am the only one here I was hesitant to leave but I am seriously thinking about it. Maybe I will feel better after I get something to eat...

beautifulme · 12-21-2007, 05:28 PM

I hope that your day ended on a better note.Stay positive pretty lady...

blessedtamekia · 12-22-2007, 08:59 AM

Yes it is! But no, I'm from the USA and born and raised in the south. Is your name Nkechi also? There are quite a few around as it is a very popular name.

My aunt named me as she was appointed as my godmother and at the time she was going through an Afrocentric period in the early '70's. I am actually the only one in my family from my generation with an ethnic name. I love my name and I am proud that it showcases my heritage (say it loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud!

).

blessedtamekia · 12-23-2007, 12:06 PM

Nkechi,
Have a great day!!!! Hope you are doing well with eating on point.

Lulu Belle · 12-23-2007, 04:16 PM
