The Power of Determination

Hello everyone!

I haven't been good at keeping up with the blog but I have made a plan at least once a week to see what everyone's doing and dedicate some journaling of my day or week. Thanks Mel!

I want to thank Melanie, Jackie, Anabel first and foremost for being key people in the success of my weight loss this week. Something finally shifted for me this week that got me on fire for health, and most of all learning to love myself first then the rest. Hummmm could it be Melanie's fabulous determination to live healthier and all the weight she has lost.....umm yeah! Looking great girl keep it up! This girl can pretty much get me to do things no one else can, that's what I love about her, she's motivating without being pushy:)

Well the first step I took was to go back to Weight Watchers. Spark people is great but for me if I am not paying for something I am less likely to do it faithfully. Crazy isn't it. What ever works! So this week I walked 10miles 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1day off, 1 day on. After recovering from surgery I needed to take it slow. (Slow meaning walking slow) but by the end of the week I was feeling back to my old self again! I'm sure everyone is saying, Thank God!!!!

Well anyways, I planned my meals daily, and cooked healthy foods. I went in for my first weigh in and lost 5.8lbs, wooooooooooo.......yeah! That's great, I celebrated, but now there's a new week! Oh, by the way my reward....Bath and Body trio signature collection...ooooooooh:)

The Plan for next week:
Journal at least once a week.
Continue planning my meals
Have a backup plan for those rainy days coming up. (instead of the trail, I will be going to the gym and use my WII fitness for variety.)
Read more books on weight loss or listen to motivational tapes on weight loss.
Excercise 5 days this week.

So until then keep up the good work and remember until you love yourself first, you are uncapable of loving anyone else. You can't give what you don't posses:) With that said be kind to yourself, affirm yourself in the mirror, and pat yourself in the back for a job well done!

Love you all,
Mari
