I'm Pushin a Rock!

This week 2 pounds down bringing the total loss to, drum roll please 11 pounds. Hopefully the next time I blog I will have broken through the 200 lb barrier. I will actually blog next when I lose the 5 pounds.

I have decided to give myself a free day. One day when I can indulge a bit with pasta, bread and steak. I know red meat is not the greatest for you so I will make it my once a month freebie.

My inner voice has been very bad and I have been "talking trash." It's funny I don't like negative conversation about other people yet I am my worst critic. It is going to change right now, right this second. As if blogging is not enough, I have begun to write everything down in a journal. It helps putting things down on paper. It seems to keep me on the straight and narrow. There are certain areas of my body that I hate such as my jelly belly. STOP!!!!!!!! That's what my internal voice says when I go to eat something bad or when I begin the trash talk about my body. Try it, it works. Makes you think twice, just don't do it out loud. People may begin to think your crazy. Plus as my friend Beth says "when you think of negative things you bring energy to it." I have put a STOP to thinking I am predisposed to being fat because of my genetics. Sure I am afraid and I am embracing the struggle. I have put a STOP to thinking I have limitations because of my age or finances.

My Mom used to say: "If you keep doing what your doing, you'll keep getting what your getting." Words to live by. It says it all doesn't it. Even if you change one thing this week like drink more water you will see a positive impact on your weight at the end of the week I promise.

Embrace the Struggle,

Rosy

  2. I must say that I like the very assertive tone that you take with yourself in your journey to a new you. From my experience far to many people are in denial and don't want to know that changes need to happen; or they make excuse about why there are the way they are. I sense no of that nonsense with you.

    We are looking forward to having you participate in our program. Keep up the great posting.
