Happy Day

I'm still doing how I wanna do things! I am finally feeling better and have more energy!!! I think all the junk I ate last week is finally out of my system! It feels good to be healthy! Happy Valentines Day!

Back In The Saddle

I just realized something! Through all the years of trying to lose weight and yo-yo dieting, I have never come back so quickly from having a majorly huge mess up! Never! This is really something! Last week was just so raunchy and now I'm totally back in the saddle and rarin' to go! I have to say that I am really proud of myself for picking myself up, dusting myself off, and continuing on. I feel great! I really do! I didn't quit! I didn't just give up and say, "Oh, well, I can't do it anyway." I can do it! I am doing it! :)

Staying Strong

I've been doing well these past couple of days. But I've got to keep going strong if I want to win this competition. Actually, I need to keep going strong so I can make it to my goal. I want to keep up momentum, so I can blow past the deadline for this competition and continue on my way to losing more weight and becoming more healthy. I will be successful.

Thank Goodness For A New Week!!!

Okay, so I had that long blog that was a pep talk to myself, but I didn't follow through! I made very poor choices this week and it definitely shows in my weigh in! Holy cow! Does it ever show! Anyway, I was getting really frustrated and down on myself when I realized that just because I had a horribly week, it doesn't mean that I'm a failure. I knew that I was making poor choices, and I decided that those were choices that I wanted to make. Now, of course, I wish I hadn't made them, but on the other hand, now I can have a great comeback! :-)
On Sunday, we had our ward conference and in YW the Stake YW Pres. talked about exactness. She said that if we have a goal of saying something nice to someone every day for 2 weeks and we forget to do it for a day, does that mean that we just say, "Oh, oops. I missed up, I guess I'll quit." NO! It doesn't mean that. I decided to apply her talk to my life. It seems that I usually start really strong with something, losing weight, and then after about a month, I just kind of stop doing it for one reason or another. Anyway, I realize that I don't have to quit just because I had a bad week. There have been some HUGE things that have happened this past week that are way out of my control, but I want to fix them. I have found that I've been really stressed out about some of these things and I felt like I didn't have the energy to fix something good to eat or to exercise. But, I sure had the energy and the time to make cookies! Okay, so here I am so, so, so grateful for a new week. I am ready for a new start. I'm glad that we still have some time before this competition is over! I still have my goal in sight, and I am going to try my best to reach it.
Thanks for your comments on my blog everybody. And thanks for your encouragement and your belief in me. I really appreciate it.
