Saturday 31 Jan 09

Phew. What a day! Busy at the store and I only took three bites of a large Hershey's Kiss! Now that is success! I had to make sure it tasted okay before I put it's brothers on the shelves!
Food for the day:
1045 2 homamde strawberry/blueberry muffins
245 1/2 slice cheese pizza, 1 med banana
320 3 bites chocolate from Hershey Kiss
430 12 oz coffee w/cream and sugar
Lots of water and decaff tea today!
Dinner will consist of 2 chicken gorditas with lots of veggies made at home and maybe a brownie. :^) Still debating on whether to make the brownies or not!
Okay, so the workouts have been lacking but I do have a friend who is loaning her treadmill to me for the next two months so I can get some running time in. Once we get that in (which might be a week or so since it needs a dedicted circuit and is very heavy and bulky) I sould be good to go. I have been doing some workout videos in the mornings and that is just self defeating! They are awful and I truly feel you need to be at a low level of fitness to get any benefit from most of them. Now I am not super woman, but walking up and down in a line waving my arms around is not going to reveal cut abs under this layer of blubber that has developed during the last 6 months!
Anyway, this morning was a serious 2 hrs of house cleaning and laundry etc... And then we had to get to the store, which I probably walked a good 3 or 4 miles during the course of the day. Again, not hard core, but I definitely was not sedentary today!
Well, thanks for reading! I need to keep up on this!!!
LoL,
Me

The First Day! Accountability = Success

I love candy! So much I own a store half full of it, the other half being beads. I am a 31 year old married woman, have three children, am a military veteran and a servant of The Lord. Anything I do, should be for Him. I've got to give Him credit for all of my accomplishments.

Here I am with my sista

Annette on her wedding day.

A highlight of 2008! She has vowed to

reach healthy status with me.

I have been lacking motivation, determination and endurance in this race of life the last 6 months and it is time to get back on course. I evaluated things a few weeks ago. My skin was showing sure signs of improper nutrition. I found myself feeling angry and this high level of anxiety. Then, to top things off I stepped on the scale to see I had gained 6 lbs since November 1st, 2008. I've started this blog as a result of pure inspiration received from a dear friend who recently started her own blog. She certainly is motivating! Thanks K-Co.

Friendships keep me alive! And I find that friendships founded in Gods Love are everlasting! It all goes back to Him, see! I am blessed with a wonderful immediate family as well. Thanks Mom, Dad, Cheri, Hil, Les, John, Gregory and children.

So, why I began this blog again? (you'll notice this is going to be all over the place and not very well organized!) I need a forum to post what I eat, what I do and how I am feeling. Being that a blog can be accessed by anyone, I know that I will be more accountable knowing my daily activities can be viewed by anybody and everybody. I am just putting it all out there!

It is a tool I am going to use to become healthier: physically, mentally and spiritually.

I welcome your feedback.

Here are a few goals:

1. Provide healthy meals for my family!

2. Be a compassionate and accountable wife and friend!

3. Make faith based decisions, not impulse based!

4. Enjoy my children.

5. Pay off Eat It or Bead It start up debt by October 2009! This includes not eating the merchandise out of impulse! 3 treats a week is plenty! Hold me to it!

Thanks for reading!
