Well here it is... August 16, and I am a little down.. Not where I wanted to be on this date... I was doing so good before breaking my foot, and it seems that it has taken me a lot longer to get back on track..
During the course of these last few weeks I've tried everything... Low fat, Low carb, cereal diets, u name it I've tried it.. so what can I say.. I tell myself that tomorrow will be a new day, but unless you are overweight. you have no idea how hard of a challenge it is to make changes in your life.
I know what I want, I know I can do it... but it's the inner voice that has so much strength over me that I cannot, really cannot believe it that I cannot get over this...
In less than 2 months my parents celebrate their 50th Wedding anniversary and I really had my mind set that on that day I would hear a lot of WOW's... what I need now is some miracle to make it happen... But I am determine to make a change, and even if it is small steps.. they will be lasting ones.
I realized there are things that I was doing consistently that I stopped doing:
1. Journal all I ate
2. Blogging
3. Exercising ( not walking lately even thought I did a mile and 1/2 and I felt great)
So as you can see if I just go back to what I was doing right, then I will be able to reach my goal...
So with that said..
Mom & Dad.. I will have everyone saying WOW in Oct !!!
( just in case you were wondering the 30 pounds I lost thankfully I have not regained back.. so at least that is good !
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I will be back on Monday !!

Liz,
Stop beating yourself up ..thirty pounds is amazing!!
You need to take a deep breath and just start again. If you look at it thats what we do everyday..just start again. You need to do this for you !! Nobody else. This is a change in your life not just another "thing" you are trying to get done. This has to be long term. So you need to make simply daily goals.Just make a new goal everyday. example drink more water,eat more fruit,etc etc.. I have found that when I make my goals simply and small and DAILY...I can be happy about my day and not so mean. You know you would never be as mean as you are to yourself to anybody else....so let it go.....you need to put this in a new light.....make you day better. I know that each night when i look over my day I can feel good about myself and now when i do make a bad choice.....I just make my very next choice a good one and move the heck on!! Bottom Line .........look around life is way to short to be so darn hard on yourself.....Today is a new day. I read somewhere that "you cant wait for the storm to end ..you need to learn how to dance in the rain" !!
Be as good to yourself as you are to everyone else around you!!
