well, i did my step aerobics today...and that to me is wonderful

i could have said my knees hurt (they do as its rainy and i guess that old wives tale is true)..

but i chose to do it any way..i could have said its the weekend and took the day off..but i again

made that choice to do what is right for my body..sure i could have come up many reasons why not

but i thought of one reason why to do it...because i have to..because i need to and because i WANT to

my ole man, my friends, my dr cannot make me eat healthy foods and exercise or believe in myself...

that is up to me...it is me who will make this band/plication work..or not

i choose to..i also choose to get to my goal

dont know when as its not a race but if i keep going....keep doing what i am doing, i WILL get there...and so will you

well, i hope everyone is doing good whomever reads this.

i wish you all happy and positive thoughts and i wave a magic wand

of believe in yourself and hope it reaches you.

beef, it is whats for dinner...96% lean...fresh cantaloupe

dare i say life is good??

yes it is..my son sent me this new picture of my granddaughter

yes, let me say, life is good...

she is so cute and I love the hair piece.

i love this one:

i need this tattoo'd on me somewhere:

LOVES

YOU'RE THE BEST...THANKS FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE!

let me say that i eat when i am hungry

when i do eat (since the band/plication wont allow me to eat much) i load up on protein/veggie/fruit in that order but focus on Protein as that is my fuel....the protein is my gas that keeps me full....so if i am hungry, i eat. if i am not hungry, i don't eat......

i also do not deprive..i dont diet

fill or no fill, i am controlling what i eat.....and what i dont

food has no control

i wont let it..i wont allow it

it controlled me for too long...and i let it...

this former dieting fatty wont ever go back to that way of life.. NEVER

my journey to better health will never be over

i will deal til cows come calling me home

i go day by day..hour by hour

and give it my best....no regrets...no boohoo......no i did bad now what.

facing it head on.....
