knocks me on my butt..

It never fails...ok sometimes it does, but it seems like when I'm feeling good. Things are going the way they need to be going and something has to mess it up. Mess up my "groove". The lovely thing to do that was a stinkin cold. After spending a lovely weekend with family I start not feeling so great, and then it hits me a STUPID cold. Blowing noses and having body aches along with headaches and pains makes it very difficult to keep working out. I was in the groove and have lost it. Today I am FINALLY starting to feel whole again and need to jump on the speeding train that is flying past me, but I'm a little nervous. It seems like ages since the gym, and with "Spring" and Summer looming in the not so far future I need to bust my butt. Time to push myself. PUSH myself HARD and make up for lost time. So here it is...time to commit to working out today. BABY-BIG STEPS is what I need to be making tonight. It has to HAPPEN! Positive thinking, Positive WORDS! Positive THOUGHTS! RIGHT!?? RIGHT! I am so happy for the seasons to change and SPRING and SUMMER that I can taste it. I'm ready for shorts and summer dresses, and playing outside.

30 and counting...

So this past month I just hit the 30 mark. No not 30lbs I have surpassed that, but 30 years. Crazy to think that I am now 30 and actually feeling like I am 20. Life is good. I am still working hard towards accomplishing my weight loss goals. Lately I have fluctuated with about 5lbs and have had a hard time breaking through this. BUT! with positive thinking as well as some sweat and tears things are starting to go my way. I thought for sure I would break the 200 mark before my birthday on the 15th of February, but that has come and gone with not so much luck. I look back and KNOW exactly why this didn't happen, and beat myself up a little bit for not making it happen, but this is in the past. I am ready to work hard and reach these goals now. I have a new found motivation and new goals to work towards. I'm excited and ready to get this show back on the FAST TRACK! So with that being said my new goal of breaking the 200 lb mark is set for April 15th. YEP that gives me a month and a half to loose about 25lbs. THIS is definitely do-ABLE...It will be tough, but worth it. I'm excited for this new goal. I look back and think of how long it has been since I was under 200lbs and to be honest I have NO idea. I was not a scale user in high school, and out of high school I was a little over 200lbs. SO basically I am thinking it has been over 11 years since I have been under 200lbs. SO be PREPARED people when I hit 199 I AM GOING TO DO IT UP BIG. Hmmm maybe a ROLLER SKATING PARTY!..lol Something to mark this HUGE step in the right direction, but we are not using food. I want to start changing my way of thinking when it comes to this type of thing and stop celebrating with food. I want to become more active and try new things or old things at that. So to those of you who read this, I hope you are ready to strap on some roller skates with me come the 15th of April, BECAUSE I am DETERMINED to reach this GOAL!!
