I have no idea why but I woke up with 4 sayings in my head this morning so I figured I would write them down and start saying them every morning when I wake up. Or every time I feel un-motivated, discouraged & down.
So, repeat after me!
YOU are all these things too!
What about you?Do you have a saying (or sayings) that you repeat to yourself? Please share!
Until next time…

So, I’ve been thinking.
A lot.
Thinking about what?
The recent comment that I was hurt by. The more time I’ve spent thinking about it I realized that the reason I was hurt and upset over it is because she pretty much hit the nail on the head when she said:

I’m baaaaack! 
Back in my ‘groove’ of wanting to get healthy again!
I keep thinking about a few things that happened on vacation that I was going to write about but never did. It hurts to think about these things but it’s sort of a huge reality check too! The main thing that bothered me was I broke a lawn chair…actually 2! We bought a couple $18 little beach chair things from the Dollar Store and I broke one. It was humiliating trying to get out of that thing. Thankfully there weren’t a lot of people around to see me do it. Then I cracked a plastic hotel one!
But anyways…something inside of me just snapped. (more…)

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I’ve kind of lost my blogging mojo. Of course it’s kind of hard to feel inspired to write on a weight loss / getting healthy blog when you’re struggling with doing even the littlest thing related to healthy living like drinking a glass of water.
My friend Kelly McCausey asked me to jump on board with her this year when she brought the 48 Days to a Better Me ‘challenge’ back. Honestly, at first I wasn’t that thrilled about it. I’ve been doing such a great job of making excuses for the ‘bad’ things I’ve been doing that the mere thought of having to ‘behave’ for 48 days didn’t appeal all that much.
But then I stopped and realized that good grief it’s only 48 days! In the grand scheme of things 48 days is nothing! So, I jumped on board and I’m actually feeling a little bit excited about it!
Kelly and I will be doing a podcast every day over the 48 days! Each day we’ll be interviewing a guest that is working on changing their lifestyles and getting healthy. Listen in as Kelly and I talk about the upcoming 48 Days to a Better Me ‘challenge’.
Here’s what I’ll be working on over the 48 days (we start on Monday, February 14th):
and start eliminating the ‘whites’ (sugar, white bread, etc).Those aren’t huge goals but for where I’m at right now these are going to feel like mountains. But, I keep reminding myself that it’s only 48 days (my hope is that I’ll keep moving past the 48 days with these small goals and move onto bigger ones!) and 48 days isn’t a lot to sacrifice.
Will you join us in the 48 Days to a Better Me series?

Oh yeah baby! I’ve clocked 6 miles (walking/jogging) in the last 2 days. It’s been a long time since I’ve walked outside and this is the first time I’ve jogged outside. It’s a completely different experience doing it outside and I’ll gladly take my treadmill inside at the gym any day! It’s a lot harder on me walking/jogging outside! My shins are bugging me again (not as bad as they were in the past), my back is sore and I have a huge blister starting on my left foot 
Of course this could all be because I was doing it at a super fast pace, way faster than I’m used to on the treadmill! My pace was 3.67 miles per hour! When I’m on the treadmill I only walk at 3.0 – 3.2 miles!
Ok but enough complaining about the pain. I feel great for the most part! And I’m even more excited because my best friend is up for the weekend and just recently started exercising (walking/jogging) about two weeks ago. Yesterday was the first time she’s ever walked 3 miles and even though she was sore this morning she still got up, got out there and did it again! I wish I could walk and exercise with her every day but we live about 3.5 hours away from one another so we can’t!
Anyways, I feel like I’m starting to really get my groove back. Now I’ve just got to 150% completely get back on track with my eating and things will be marvelous
How are your workouts going?
P.S. Have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!

After my I Have Given Up Post I sat here and cried for awhile. I felt miserable that I was even thinking, let alone writing, that I was choosing failure as an option because that is NOT what I want!
A couple people made the comment that they didn’t think I was giving up because if I was I wouldn’t have wrote the post. I think they were right! I don’t think I have truly given up. I think I’m just in a slump right now and have to push through it and work my way through it.
But this post isn’t about me…it’s about YOU!
I have to tell you all how much you amaze me!
I’m at a low point right now and you all came along with words of kindness, love, support and encouragement! It really shows that our community pulls together to lift one another up and help hold each other accountable. And it amazes me even more that so many of you have come to encourage me, love me and lift me up right now because I’ve been a bad blogger friend – I’m so far behind on reading blog posts or the few that I have read I haven’t commented on. So I just want to say a HUGE thank you to each and every one of you for coming along and picking me up right now when I’m going through such a low point!
I’m not 100% back on track with my eating or exercising but I’m taking it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. If I eat something ‘bad’ I don’t get down on myself. I move on and try to make better decisions for snacks and meals after that. It’s challenging getting back on track but I’m going to do whatever it takes…thanks to all of you for making me realize I can’t give up and that I haven’t truly given up.
Thank you for supporting me through the highs and the lows of this journey!

My gym is having a contest starting this Friday May 14th called “Weigh Down Your Summer.” Every week starting this Friday, going until the end of July, you weigh in with a staffed member.
Every week the top losers will be posted on the big white board facing the door as you walk into the gym (and considering I’m an attention whore you better believe I WILL see my name up there at least once …if not more! lol).
At the end of the summer the person with the biggest loss wins 2 free months to the gym.
And guess what folks? I love a good challenge. Oh and did I ever mention how competitive I am? Hmmm…I never mentioned that before? 
Well I am so everyone better watch out (yes Angel my Angel this means you too!) because those 2 free months at the gym are going to be MINE! Seriously I want to win those 2 free months so bad!!!
And talk about a big ole boost of motivation!

If you aren’t involved in the work at home community you may not know who I’m talking about when I say Scott Tousignant of FatLossQuickie.com. He’s very well known in the WAHM community and I’ve known him for quite awhile. Just recently (this past January) I met him in person.
Anyways he’s one smart cookie when it comes to fitness. He’s a bottle of motivation (seriously – he should bottle up his motivation and sell it!). He’s full of inspiration and just an all around good guy with a passion to help others get healthy! I love his blog and frequent it often.

I’ve been impressed with Scott Tousignant ever since I first signed up for his Fat Loss Quickie program quite awhile ago. He sure knows his stuff when it comes to fitness and working out. Not only that but he’s full of encouragement, inspiration and motivation! He has a passion to help people get fit and healthy!
I recently met Scott in person when I attended a Niche Affiliate Marketing Conference in Atlanta, Georgia this past January. The one thing I loved about meeting him in person? He was just as great and ‘real’ in person as he was on the internet! That was right after I had started my Weight Watchers journey and I loved the genuineness in his voice when he talked to me about my journey. I even enjoyed working out in the hotel gym next to him one morning!

You’ve got to take it moment by moment, one step at a time! You’ve got to believe you can be anything you want to be! You are unstoppable, so unstoppable!
I came across this song called You’re Unstoppable an purchased it from Amazon.com. The words are super inspiring & motivational. This has been added to my iPod. Anytime I feel like giving up or start losing my motivation I’m going to play this song and remind myself that I am unstoppable! Because I am!
Listen to You’re Unstoppable (pay close attention to the words!!!):
