One of my new favorite “desserts”….

I’ve been trying to figure out how to make stuff so I won’t feel deprived and I can still feel like I’m doing something “bad”.  Well, this is one of those things.  It is SO good!  And, if I close my eyes and squint really hard, I can make myself believe it tastes like blueberry pie.

Looks good doesn’t it?  Well it is!

Which way?

I have 2 choices right now.  I can either do what it takes to become healthy, or I can stay on the road I’ve been on all my life and not care.  Well, I’m choosing the one to become healthy.  I want to be here.  I don’t want to die, I don’t want to become bed bound, I don’t want to become too sick that I can’t heal from it.  It’s time I get my act together!  I’m not doing what other people want me to, I’m doing what I KNOW works for me….and that will hopefully get me to my goal.  If it doesn’t, then I will do it as long as it’s working and then I’ll switch it up when it stops working for me.  But, it’s time I get it together.  I know how to do it, I’ve been working on the why…..now it’s time to actually DO it!!

 

It’s a LOT of stuff going on with m right now Keep on reading…

We have a winner!!!!

I’m sure you know about the contest that I had.  Well, a winner was chosen and it was Ms. Cookie Tompkins!!  I’m SO happy that so many people entered.  I was scared for a minute that no one would enter.  But, I already had a plan B for that….I would have just went to Subway and ate up!    But, I’m glad plan A went well and we had a winner!  It made me ready for the next one.

But, congratulations Keep on reading…

Awwww….my first contest!!! *tear tear sniff sniff*

I’m gearing up to start blogging full force.  So, in a blatant attempt to gain followers, I’m giving away free stuff!    Cheesy huh?  Yeah, yeah…I know…but it’s what I do. 

All of my contests will work pretty much the same way unless I get a wild hair and decide to switch it up….or one of y’all give me a better way to run it….whichever comes first. 

Anyway, here’s the first one.  The winner will receive a $10 gift card to Subway.  That’s right a FULL $10!!!  And, you thought waking up was the highlight of your day?!!  Pish tosh!!  THIS should get cha rockin’!!!  I mean look at this!!!

 


My gawd, I want one right now!!!!!!!  But, anyway….here’s all you have to do to win. Keep on reading…

Well now….since you put it THAT way…..

Well it’s official, I rejoined Weight Watchers today! I mean, I went last week, but that was just to see if I actually wanted to rejoin or not.  I didn’t do it then because I said to myself that I wanted to be absolutely sure if I wanted to or not.  I don’t do the Weight Watchers’ program, but I feel like I need the accountability.  I need “having to answer to someone”.  That’s just me.  Me doing it on my own is not working.  I’m too “laxed” with me alone…I need to feel like SOMEONE is making me stay accountable and supporting me at the same time.   Well, after finding my old leader that I simply adore, after what the message was at the meeting last week, after a young lady emailing me today about how she wished she had my motivation AND after Weight Watchers having a “get one month free” deal on the monthly pass…..I kinda figured that God was screaming to me to get my behind back to it! So, I’m listening and I went back today.

I don’t know why, but I was a little nervous.  You’d think I’d never done this before. I’m glad I went thought.  I really am!

Here’s what “she” (the WW leader) does to us.  She’s a MAJOR guilt-er!  Keep on reading…

I’d say this was a sign….

Sooooo, I know it’s not a secret that I’ve been off plan.    I mean not just a little offplan….but reeeeeeeeeeally offplan.  I’ve been making all kinds of excuses and everything, but it boils down to me.  I haven’t been doing what I was supposed to….period…point blank!!! 

So anyway, earlier this week I decided that I REALLY needed to do something.  And, I KNEW I didn’t want to go back to the same Weight Watchers meeting that I had been going to because it was just not inspiring.    The leader and I did NOT click and the people that were there were just like….  So, I used the excuse that it was the reason that I didn’t go back.  Well, it wasn’t.  I didn’t go back PARTIALLY because of that, but mostly because of ME.    So, I looked at the Weight Watchers website and set out to find my old leader from years ago.  She’s part of the reason I lost so much the first time.  She’s VERY inspiring and SO motivational.  I knew I had to find her!  And, I was not going to stop until I did.  And, I DID IT!!!  I found her!!!!!!  Her name is JoAnn and she is WONDERFUL!!!  I had to wait a couple of days before the meeting came up, but I went today…and this is what I saw when I walked into the room…

In tears….

Everyone knows I battle food addiction daily.  Some days are good…some days……not so much.  But, thankfully, the “not so much” days are getting fewer and far between.  Anyway, I use music to help me get through a LOT!  I found this song on Celebrity Rehab and it helped me SO much!  It’s crazy how you don’t “hear” things until you’re ready.  I heard this back in 2008 when she originally sang it….I heard it but I didn’t “hear” it until today when I watched the last episode that I had recorded.  I was immediately in tears because it’s something I want to say to people all the time, but I just don’t know how…I truly don’t have the courage yet.  But then about the 5th time of playing it again….I heard God talking to me in it.  Keep on reading…

Ok, so it’s the next week….

Let’s see how this one goes.  Last week went pretty good, but life got a hold of me and I couldn’t ACTUALLY journal like I should have.  Well, let me correct that without the excuse. I planned on journaling EVERY bite.  But, I didn’t do that.  Life may have gotten in the way, but that’s no excuse because I have the app on my phone and I didn’t HAVE to be in front of the computer to do it…..I just didn’t.    Keep on reading…

Alright….that’s it!!!!

I’m sick’a me!!!    I’ve had the best intentions in the world.  I really WANT to get healthy….really I do!  But up until now, for the most part, it’s been ALL talk.    I mean…I’ll do right for a week…the next week…not so much.  So, today ends it!!    I know why I stop…..it’s simple….shame.    I’ll log what I eat in my food log and then the minute I eat something I feel like I shouldn’t, I stop logging.   That, in turn, makes me get a little down and then the eating fest continues.    That’s when the “I’ll start fresh tomorrow” mentality kicks in Keep on reading…
