A little behind...

I've not done the best this past week or so. This stressful weekend, I did eat almost everything in site, and made one excuse or another why I wouldn't walk/exercise. I've got to make that commitment to change my life. That I am in control. I need to stop sabotaging myself and get moving. It's not going to fall off by itself, only I can lose this weight.

I'm just so frustrated.

A Good Start

So I've had a pretty good start this past week. I walked with my SIL for 3 days this past week. I hope to continue to walk at least 4-5 days a week. I tried the Yoga DVD as well, and although it was super hard I felt pretty good afterwards. It was a little difficult to do since Melody decided to climb on my legs and back while I was in some of the positions. What a stinker.

I've not been eating terribly, but I figured this month I'd focus on moving more rather then my food. Of course it will be in the back of my mind to pay attention to what I eat so as to not go overboard.

Achievement

The buzz these days is to pick a word to best represent 2009. I finally found mine: Achievement. That's what I need to strive for. To achieve my goals I set whether it be weight loss, spiritual inspiration, mundane duties. I can and will achieve those things I set my mind to. What about you?

I've been doing so good these past couple of days. My eating is ok, but I've walked (walk away the pounds) 2 miles so far since yesterday. I plan on doing the DVD 5-6 days a week. It helps that I'm the motivator for Susan. Some sort of motivation is what I need to get going. I also bought a Biggest Loser Yoga DVD and did some tonight...whoa boy. It was tough but I feel better after doing most of it. Melody was trying to help me ;). This has got to be my year. I can feel myself getting sicker by the day.

I told my mom that this was my time. She's leaving me to serve the Lord with my dad and I promised her I would get healthy. Her weight for me to be at is 170. Actually she said 165, but that's my ideal weight, so anywhere in the area is perfect. I've got a long way to go, but I can do it. I have it in me to not hold back. To better myself and my family. Only I can change myself and set the tone and example for others. I pray for strength to carry that burden and not get discouraged. I will have those awful moments of weakness and want to give up. I pray I will get past the hurting, the sadness, the dispair, whatever lies ahead. I can't hide anymore or ignore the inevitable. I won't give up hope.
