Focused

My word for today was focused…today was quite productive. I woke up early this morning and after a few forced attempts of ignoring my alarm and hit up some cardio. I had my diva moment today when I got my hair curled for an interview…the interview is an ENTIRELY different story in itself.

My food was ok (with the exception of my caffeine addition to Starbucks). Three things I’ve noticed about myself thus far: 1. if I work out early in the morning I’ll tend to eat a good breakfast 2. a good breakfast leads to a good lunch 3. a good lunch is a few meals away from a great day for me! Keeping those things in mind, I’m hopefully on target to success in this weight loss game!

Happy New Year!

I’m so thankful for a new year….A new day, beginning, and by God’s grace a fresh start! So as my title suggests, my clothes are shrinking…and have been for some time. Since every book I’ve read states that denial is the first phase…I’ll admit it…it’s not the clothes at all! It’s me! I’ve gained approximately 30-40 lbs within the last 6-7 months. On this new day, I’m dedicated to taking a new start at enjoying my life. While this blog is mainly for the success of my weight loss battle (I often read how these little affirmations of faith are tremendous for the psyche!), other important areas that I may interrupt this blog entries are my job woes (as of December 2008) I’m officially unemployed, nurturing healthy relationships and being financially responsible (limiting the spending and putting more into savings!) I look forward to this journey. Each week I’ll log the deficit from the prior week (more positive affirmation), each entry will include my emotion for the day, positive thoughts from anything that enriches my physical, spiritual and emotional wellness!
