What does C stand for....

C for me is Committment. My committment to me...I got off my duff and started doing all the right things again and I am feeling pretty good about it. I got to the gym three days in a row...that is a record for me! Usually I go ever other day. But I think I need to push a little harder. And I am. It feels good. My journal is coming along. Still trying to get to the magic 1400. I come close but usually I am off a hundred or two. I committed myself to healthier living June 21, 2004. I don't plan on backing out on that committment. What does C stand for you??? Debbie

C for me is courage. I know everyday that the changes I made for myself took a giant amount of courage. Everytime I get off track and there have been a few times , I know that I can do it because of all that I have been through and because I really want to. My whole attitude about my life has changed and for the better of course. Ellen

For you Ellen, a badge to remind you always of the courage! Sometimes we need reminders! Thanks for the great response. Debbie

Ohhh, I like commitment AND courage!!! But since they are already taken ... I think I will have to go with CHICKEN!!! Not as bad as it sounds folks ... It seems these past couple of years have been a bit more than just losing weight, but have been about losing the fear of the unknown or the fear of the perceived. I no longer fear forging forward ... I no longer fear what others think about me ... I no longer fear walking into a room ... I no longer fear having to walk through a parking lot ... I no longer fear getting out of bed in the morning ... I no longer fear pain ... nor do I fear a life left unlived but rather sidelined!!! I also no longer fear that it will be my lack of self control that will end my life early and leave my children without a mom. Nope, seems Chicken is no longer in my vocabulary ... well except for dinner!!!

LMAO....Chicken. What a good word! We grow in lots of ways as well as lose things...such as weight. Sometimes people don't stop to see these things! I see your eyes are wide open. And to let you know....chicken is still on my table for dinner....served in many ways! Debbie

And on mine sweetie!!! Oh how I relate!!! Glad I could put a chuckly on your heart this fine morn!!!

Hi Debbie, I believe that the C for me stands for Continue. I need to Continue to do the things that I have learned over this last year. This means to exercise, eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and get in my protein and vitamins daily. Sometimes we fall off the cart but if we pick ourselves up and Continue to do the things we know are right we will suceed in our individual goals. The changes I have made in my life are permanent so I have no choice but to Continue if I want to keep living (and I do!). Take care until I see you again. Prycey Lady AKA Carol Pryce

Carol, I like the continue....because we are continuing to live! Great response..... PS. You keep up the good work..When will we see a pic Prycey???? Debbie

I am getting some of my before and after pictures together and I plan on getting them sent out by month end to OH since I don't have a scanner. Also I would love for some of us to get together and have a glamour party at Glamour Shots in the Concord Mall. I did this about 8 years ago with about six co-workers and it was great! Anybody who is interested can let me know via e-mail so we can coordinate something. Prycey Lady AKA Carol Pryce

Count me in...let me know when...This is a great idea! Go Carol!!! Debbie
