Focus On Me

I have been attempting spring cleaning in my home. I figure IF I can declutter my home then I can definitely take a better opportunity to focus on me. Reality check, I focus on other things more than I seem to focus on me. I make my list and I start with me first and by the time that morning alarm goes off I push myself to the next thing on the list and by the time the day is done I am at the bottom, last and forgotten.

What does that say or mean?

It means I have to learn to juggle me into the daily act. Almost everyone knows this. Focus, give myself some well deserve love and attention. I'm worth it. Now I have to fight on that negative voice  and quit calling myself a "selfish girl" or telling me that I'm "neglecting the family". Out you go negative voice. I'm just giving myself a little dose of love. Everybody has time for that!

Not Down For The Count

It's been a knockout, but definitely not down for the count. The good thing is that I have not gain any weight, but neither have I lost any more pounds. BOOO!


Sincere apologizes for being M-I-A... life has an unexpected punch sometimes that can't be controlled, but I'm here and moving towards my goal.

And so I shall begin.

Preparation Is Key

I've said it before. I remind myself constantly. Yet I am one of the most unprepared people in this land of "have it together, Man."

This past week I knew I had to be prepared and of course, getting to the grocery store was impossible. Yes I did have the case of "I'll do it later," but I never gave it a second thought.

New week has started and I am determined to be up an about on Sunday morning to get my groceries for the week. CHECK!

I'm determined to chop and cut fruits and veggies here in a bit.

And of course spend some time house cleaning.

Hmmm, maybe.

Off I go to spend some quality time with family.

It's A Start

Trust in myself.

I'm motivated.

I'm drinking my water.

I'm eating breakfast.

I'm eating salads at work.

I'm keeping myself accountable.

CAN I GET A HELL TO THE YEAH!?

Nice.

A little obnoxious, but I can't help it. I feel better. Not fantastic yet, but I do feel better. I have ways to go, but it's nice to see the scale finally go down. It's not drastic either, small and slow, but it's still positive for me. Finally looking at the positive side of this journey. I've been a downer for way to long.

Simple Changes

I am on a roll!

The last soda drink I officially had was on the 1st of January. I'll admit there is one in my fridge for the "just in case", but I haven't felt the need. I know, I know... it's only been 4 days, but soda is major addiction and passing on a sip is great news for me. Replacement beverage H2O. First day was torture, but I didn't give in. Second day better. Third day, wanting to drink my water. Fourth day, trying to get in my 68 ounces of water for the day.

Headed to work on January 2, I stopped by the grocery store and loaded on salad supplies. My lunch has consisted of salads, another plus. If you know our lunch crew, we are usually trying to decide who to send to bring back some fast food. Group lunch support has been a great success, because us, girls are pulling out the get healthy card and I for one am appreciating it!

My morning obstacle has been gulping coffee like a monster and avoiding breakfast. I have limited my morning coffee to one cup and focusing on getting breakfast in me. I have stored my fridge with easy things to blend and heat before heading out the door.

I thought this was mind worthy...

Dear 2013

This year, I have been stressed, tired, angry, irritated and vulnerable. I didn't appreciate it one stinkin' bit. I am gladly leaving your ass behind and happily moving into 2014.

Yes there was a few good times, but when I think about it; I feel I am moving into 2014 with renewed inner strength, renewed inner peace, and renewed inner vigor.

It's time to move on and begin my 2014 with a kick-ass attitude.

To 2013 I leave you with a Good-bye, Adios, Au Revoir, later BEEEEOTCH!

Feeling Tempted

Get Yourself In Gear, You Pansy!

These are the words that scream inside me right now. Christmas is just right around the corner and I am feeling the pressure of wanting to eat lots of goodies! Temptation is out and I'm feeling the pressure!
