You can do this and I just know that you will lose that 40!

Hi DreaNC!

Thanks so much...I know I can do it too. I just need to keep my eye  on the prize...a fitter, healthier me. I need to be here for my girls. Stop playing russian roulette!

We're here for you!

Thanks so blessed! I am on my way!

LOL  I'll admit the title made me open this

Poker stoppppp gurl!!! LOL! I knew I would get some of ya'll. Believe me when this 40 pounds is gone ...I will have myself a real 40 and pour some out for the folk that haven't made it on this journey. Life or death....those are my options....if I keep playing!  

Girl, I have to admit, you are "singin my song" exactly.  I never reached goal, still 40 lbs. to go, gained back almost 15 lbs. without every reaching goal.  had no room to gain, but I did.  talk about an emotional roller coaster........it has been just that !  when we know better, we do better, we'll get this thing right ..................cause it ain't over till the "slim" lady sings !!!

this is a serious journey..............but i'm glad i'm talking about having to lose 40 lbs. and not
140 lbs........but it's still very very hard!  How I wished I could have that "honeymoon" phase just one more time

I Agree MargoKay! 40 pounds beats 100 plus on any given day. I do know that its doable! Just have to keep on working it! 

Gurrrllll, we have all been there.  My body/thyroid is trying to mess with me right now and I have just come off a long fast (which messes with my metabolism too), I am waiting till after the holidays to "clean the house" of unhealthy foods and bump up my workouts. 

I believe in constant change and adding different things to my workouts and food choices. I  am starting the boot camp offered on Saturdays at my gym in January.  Just shake it up girl.  Do something different.  Take a belly dancing class or start a walking group with the girls.  Add some new foods to the routine, even something as small as a new salad can really help. 

I know you can do this.  You have the right mindset and the right attitude and you have the right tools.  Do this boo!!!

Thanks Glam!

I do know what  I have to do...and I think posting daily will help keep me focused.  Forty is not such a large number...just need to do one pound at a time. 

You are right about mixing things up.  I was trying to go back and reuse my menus from before...man..that was so boring and unmotivating. I am going to try some new recipes...to spice things up but keep them healthy.

That's a keeper that I had not even considered.  I really appreciate your support.
