Slight Difference

  There is a slight change... 

First of all I will admit that I didn't think I had it in me and my mind had to change. 

I didn't want to do this again and I really thought it was useless. The question come 

back up as I would call them "The Doubting Statements!" 

This is going to be hard work, This is going to be harder than the first time, do you 

really have what it takes to be successful this time around. People are going to be 

talking about you again if you get to small and I had to put all those negative 

statements out of my head because it didn't gain me nothing but more time on the 

couch, rocking chair or bed and never moving this body. 

It is going to be a little harder but I have the skills inside of me to get moving and 

changing the way I have eaten since the pandemic. I'm determine and I have seen 

some noticeable changes in how much I eat. 

I have to be a healthier me for me and no one else. 

This is not for fame or glory, nor is it for my spouse nor my children but this is for 

me and this is how I can show them that I care about myself and that I love me 

and that is to get moving and not hanging out with the bad things in my life. 

I have to LIVE and I can't give up... I might fall but I will get up and try again 

tomorrow and the next day!!! 

Keep walking with me as I keep walking for myself!!!

Six Months and Counting

 Six Months and Counting 

There comes and time in a person's life that they realized the true definition of weight loss and the journey you will take all your life unless you have weight loss surgery and even with the surgery your life style has to change or it will be for nothing. 

I have decided to go on another adventure through my weight loss process. I realized today that my other blog winninglife2017.blogspot is still fully able to access so if you want to see the younger version and what I did. 

Look for me over on that page. 

Nevertheless, I'm coming on another milestone in my life and I want to ensure that my body, mind and spirit is ready for this next chapter of my life so here are somethings I have realized about myself. 

I was at the peak of my weight loss and several things changed: 

1. I let what others thought of me change the way I looked at weight loss - I forgot it was about me. 

2. The covid-19 virus came to the USA and I stopped doing any exercise in fear that I would get sick and I succumb to staying home and eating whatever I could find. 

Basically, all of the bad habits I had just came back and I went back to being an emotional eater. 

Sometimes life comes in and sucker punches you in the face and some things in life you can't just shake off but I kept fighting. 

I knew I was in trouble when the following things started happening: 

1. I wanted and smoke a few cigarettes.         2. I wanted fountain drinks.  

3. No real food in my diet ...                       

4.  I was eating out more than eating a proper cooked meal at home...

5. I wasn't enjoying life; life was handling me! 

My life changed when I could honestly ask myself the questions Why? and the reasons were in my face. I literally got nausea and sick at my stomach and life became evident. Where had all of the 154 pounds I had lost go and why was life handling me so rough. 

I had to take control of what is most important to me and that is MY HEALTH. 

My Journey has begun and I'm down 5lbs as of today and I can't wait to see how far I can go... 

60 pounds and counting continues...
