Jan's Weightloss Journal

[123Nkechi]

Hi Jan! Glad to see you back. I think I am in the same boat! This morning someone brought brownies in for the office and I've eaten 3 ! We will get back on track. I have faith in both of us ! Take care and God bless...

[jgw]

Sorry it took so long to reply back but I've been getting grades together for the 1st 9 weeks of school.
I am so glad I found a group of wonderful women that are soooooo supportive.
We all fall down, but getting back up is important.
I read alot of posts and wonder to myself, can this be real. (no cheats in 90 days, in 6 months, etc.)
I have to keep it real, I try my best to stay on the wagon but a bump comes along and there I am in the middle of the road.
I just run, jump back on, and hang on as long as I can for another ride.
Thanks to all of you
Love ya!
Janice

I feel you with the bumps. We fall down but we get up!!!!!

[jgw]

Thanks Blessedtamekia

[blessedtamekia]

Anytime.
So now that I've done the good stuff (encouraged), I must remember that to whom much is given much is required. The encouraging word was given to me to give to you so now I am required to do something with it as well.

[jgw]

I always tell myself when i'm ready to lose weight, it's the time when my mind is in tune, in sync, with my body.
Both has to work together to accomplish my weight loss goal.
Tonight I pray that my mind and body will tune in together and I will get back on track!
How guilty you feel or you let yourself feel after a cheat.
I pray these feelings will subside and everything I worked so hard for will be in vain.
Everyone have a good night.

Janice, thanks for stopping by my journal! I'm sorry to see you are feeling out of sorts.

I had a fall off the ole wagon about a week ago too so I can relate to the out of sync situation.

How are you doing. Tell me about T-Taps, how long are the workouts?
I'm thinking about buying the DVD's.
Are you doing the 15 minute T-Tap or a longer one?
Thanks in advance,
Janice

I am feeling much better this week, Thank you for asking. I started listening to my eDiet CDs again and they are making all the difference in my attitude.

I answered your T-Tap question in my journal bcuz I tend to go on and on I didn't want to leave a novel in your journal

Thanks Meekness, Nkechi, and all for your support.
It's good to have friends here and in high places.
Janice

[mstamika]

Hi Janice, dropping in to encourage your spirit

You have come so far and that deserves celebration. On top of that you are still pressing towards your goal!

[MeekNHumble]

Hi Janice

Stopping by to show some love

Have a Great Day!!!!

[jgw]

Thanks all for those encouraging words,
B- 2 boiled eggs
L- grilled chicken salad
D-Hamburger pattie salad
S- Nuts (I know I need to stay away from them)
Water, 1 or 2 diet cokes

I started our kinda hungry this morning. It's about 10:30am here in MS and I am not going to eat until lunch! Why? because I did not bring any LC snacks with me and if I go to the vending machine I will get nuts.
I'm saving that snack for later in the day or evening if I get the munchies.
Water will do for now.
I will be ordering the T-Tap dvd and hoping I can lose several inches, or a couple dress sizes by Christmas.
Dec. 1st is my first Christmas Gala and I want to look good.

Talk later
Janice

[MeekNHumble]

Girl, you aint by yourself. I ate lunch around 10:30am too. I was hungry. I had planned to drink a protein shake - but I needed something that would "stick". So I ate a nice lunch and now I'm full and satisfied

I've heard some really good things about T-Tapp. Work it out!!! I know you will look good at the Christmas Gala

Mstamekia,
I wanted to start that challenge but did not know how people would react, there are so many challenges on the forum.

I should be getting my dvd by next week.
Thanks

Alright! Why would people react? Maybe I'm too new to the forum to know the ropes around here which but my thoughts are who cares if people react?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God! Your playing small doesn't' serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.: ~Nelson Mandela

Just my humble opinion

[Tommyswife]

Hello lovely lady,

I came by to see how you're doing. Looks as though you're doing quite well.

[Tommyswife]

MStamika, thank you for that beautiful quote.

I love that quote. When I heard it again in Akeelah and the Bee it stuck with me. I have a hard time sometimes with letting my light shine so feel free to repost it in my journal when I forget who made me

Powerful quote. Thanks for sharing.

[jgw]

That quote is great.
All of you are wonderful.
I am so happy I came back to LCF because the friendiest ladies are here.

My daughter stay outside skating or riding her bike, mostly skates. My friends won't let their kids go outside because it is really hot in the summers here.
My son is in the band and they march daily, perform drills etc. so her gets enough exercise throughout the week.
I cannot refuse my daughter request because it's exercise. She and my neice are the smallest kids in their 4th grade class besides a few others. 75% of their classmates are overweight.
I encourage her to exercise as much as possible, today she tried out for cheerleader. I hope she makes it.
Our state MS is the fattest state in the nation. I encourage exercise for kids and I will not make my kids a couch potato.
Janice

I hope all my LCF are having a blessed day in the Lord!

Hi Janice,

Just stopping by to say !

[jgw]

My 20th wedding anniversary will be Oct. 24, 2007.
I can't believe I've been married that long. 2 kids 9 daughter and 15 (soon to be 16) son.
I was surprised by my hubby with a Cruise to Mexico. I've been to Mexico several but this will be the first time we will be alone. I teach school and can't take alot of time off during the school year but will try somehow to get this time off.
Janice

[jgw]

I use this every time I journal

MASTER KEY

Gratitude is the Master Key opening passage for
Opportunity , Abundance, and Celebration.

now witness this, as it is written in Gratitude:

egg = gestation = opportunity

spiral = growth = abundance

circle = completion = celebration

***

Go Gratitude!

[COLOR=darkgreen]I am grateful in all I do. When I write in my home journal I start and end with gratitude. Gratitude to the Lord for all he has done in my life.[/COLOR]
