Waiting

You always tell yourself things will be great when x, y or z happen. I'll be happy when I get a new job or the man I love finally makes a step towards we or I pay this bill off...but when one or more of those things happen and the stars that have been anti-you start to align you think its too good to be true. My advice as two major things I have been waiting to happen seem almost plausible...now is the time to push harder. You are finally in a place you've been hoping, praying and wishing for...embrace it and hope, pray and wish for more. The sky is the limit...keep reaching!!!

Decisions

Been going through the motions lately...work has really been wearing on me...to the point I have started job hunting again...I know this economy sucks - especially in Sin City...but my sanity really needs something more.  Hoping to go back to school in May...finally made a decision what I wanted to do with that.  Its time to start living and stop waiting.

Good luck ya'all :) 

I am currently half way to my weight loss goals...I started about a year ago and have lost to date 52 pounds.  I am trying to lose at least 50 more...but sadly the first 50 was easy.  I know what needs to be done and I have been doing my best to keep eating right and working out daily but I've got to amp all of that up in order to actually drop some more weight.  90 minute walks aren't going to help me anymore....I need to do 30 minute runs...or 120 minute walks or both in the same day.  I really want to get to a point where I am completely comfortable in my skin.  I am actually looking forward to swimsuit shopping this year and since I live in Sin City...pool season starts early.  Its not just about the weight to me...its about a ideal image I have for myself...that's what I am focused on. Mind, body, spirit...all need to be cared for and tweaked...hopefully soon I can tackle my spirit and get back to the place I want to be. 

Weight

In the past 10 months I've lost 50 pounds by doing the tried and true acts of watching my calorie intake and walking a couple miles a day at least 5 days a week. Everyone keeps asking me what magic I did and when I tell them the simple truth they look at me stuck on stupid and don't seem to understand the words coming out of my mouth.

With that great accomplishment in the rearview mirror...all I can really focus on right now us dropping below the dreaded 200 mark and how much more I still want to loose. Since I've moved into a healthier weight bracket I am starting to be concerned that I will have to work three times as hard to drop half the weight.
My ultimate goal isn't about a number...its about a flat stomach, arms that don't shake and thighs that don't touch. Of course I have a number in mind but right now I just want to still be dropping weight.

Yep

Its been a rough couple days...but when you realize who your true friends are...life gets a little easier. Keep your chin up and keep fighting the good fight.

Here I am

I've wanted to do this for years but I just haven't felt that I've had much to say...but it's time!  I am hoping to eventually bring recipes, money saving tips, inspirational quotes and just general fun to this thing...I hope you enjoy!!
