Hey People!!!
Today is a no title day. I am about to hop on the phone with some clients but thought that I would say hello and give you an update that I have been getting the proper amount of rest, which is important! I have also been sticking to "operation lifestyle overhaul". Tee Hee.
I'm in good spirits today and feeling right with the world. Looking forward to taking some time off soon and wanting to stay focused on getting my "issues" together.
Water is the word of the day. I'm drinking it all.....so hurry up and fill up your glass before you end up with none!
Hugs!

Gone But NOT forgotten....
That would be me....
I have been gone with no really good reason but I have not forgotten about any of you lovely ladies....and gents out there.
A bittersweet applaud to my 325 weigh in today. I have successfully managed to be totally off course but have maintained my weight during my wait to get back on track...(gotta love that play on words) anyhoo....I have readings tonight so I will be using some restraint while in that atmosphere, that is my bi-weekly downfall period and I need to get over that hump to be able to stay on course.
I have been reading a book called The Four Agreements it has been something that I realize I am going to have to work on for the rest of my life in order to get myself in a healthy state of mind.
I have released alot of my personal demons in this process of trying to shift and change just my physical body and the truth of the matter is that they scared my right back into myself. I was not in a mental place of enough self control to confront them properly.
My mind is probably a great deal more important to deal with than my body, however, they kind of work hand in hand at this point because in order to change my mind about me I have to also change the way I feel about the person I am, inside and out.
The dukan way of eating is easy and more natural than any other eating I have ever done in the past and I always feel and look (skin) better when I follow plan. I have to get rid of the idea this is a plan though and make it what my life is about.
I walked into this thing treating it like every other diet I have ever been on and it came to a screeching halt just like every other diet I have ever been on.
Difference here? Enough of the "lifestyle" has rubbed off on me that this time I have NOT ballooned back up and above what I started at. I have kept the weight that I worked at getting off, off. Yay Me!
So, now to change my compass back to the path of fulfillment....I'm still here...don't count me out yet.
Hugs!!!!

Macy's Day Parade Float....
That title is a description of how I am feeling after the past two weeks just about walking around acting like a human DYSON!!!! Aaaaacccccckkkk!
I now have the "it is too hot, I may pass out" excuse for not walking or working out. Even though it is 2012 and I have air conditioning in my house.
I have the house packed with the right supplies and I went out an purposefully bought ice cream and chips and ate it. I don't know why I keep doing this crap.
I just wanted to get it out there and be honest. I have been taking the stairs at work but only because we don't have an elevator, so I don't even know if I can really "count" that as being good.
Hugs and love to all of you if I can't lead I will at least give you an example of what not to do and in case you didn't get that part.......DON'T DO THIS STUFF! :p

Tossing up the choices....
So, I'm tossing up going onto Atkins. Then transitioning back to Dukan....Thoughts?
I have been having meat and veg every single day for a few days now and I even had about 5 strawberries yesterday.
It's about as hot as the bottom side of satan's ball sack out here and I haven't went walking for that reason.....
Ready to hear my excuse for not doing Zumba? The floor in the living room is weak and there is no VCR in the laundry room..... HA!
I have to get up at the crack of dawn apparently to get this thing done.
Bedtime is going to be at 9pm and then wake time will be 5am. I'm gonna have to give myself a cold shower to get alert in the morning, that's the only time the bed feels good.
I do have the free weights at my disposal, so I will leave those where I can stub my toe and if nothing else I will get a rep in by picking it up to throw it after the stub happens.
I hope all you lovely people and my (net friends) are doing awesome. I miss dialoging with ya'll, I'm getting it together though...No worries.....just hugs...

Inches...I wanna be a pig.
Inches are noticed going up as well as down.....
I have been wondering about how it is that I feel like I am ballooning out of control due to some rotten food choices but my weight has not changed. Meaning, I didn't see the spike that I expected to see.
It has occured to me that the inches are the thing to watch very closely......
Some pants and shirts are feeling much different than they were before and I was like, but my weight hasn't gone up or down...yes, my dear but your inches have.
Tape measure is coming out this weekend and I will post all of the measurements so both you and I know where I currently stand. That is what is going to make the difference. Can't get caught up in the "pound" thought process anymore, they are some tricky little devils.....
So, sidenote, we were just talking in the office and we were discussing committment vs. involvement.
It can be equated to a Ham and Egg breakfast......
The Pig was committed.....The Chicken was involved. (Let that thought simmer for a moment)
We have to be the pig and not the chicken when it comes to taking hold of our relationship with food.
I wanna be a pig.
Hugs....

The Diet Gods are friendly....
Verdict: 325.1
That is the amount after my not so stellar performance for the past 3 weeks. Which is stable. eek. yes, stable. I have found that this is hinged on exercise. Sooooooooo......well, I don't mean to say it this way, but we know what needs to be done. Don't we??????!!!!!
So, my mom stood me up for Earth, Wind and Fire.......this unfortunately isn't the first time that my birthday plans for her have been obliterated.
Money gone on the tickets, Money gone because I cancelled my reading night to take her out, Money gone because I made from scratch a fantastic home cooked meal and cake for her.....and no show.
It's alright though cause the bright spot is that I am back on the dukan train and running full steam ahead.
That's all I have for right now because duty calls (I'm at work) but I pray all you lovely birds are flying high and all is well.
Hugs!!!!!

Bueller....Bueller.....Bueller
Hey ya'll! I'm still alive and kicking....no worries.
I have just been trying to sort through my thoughts and get my self back on track with my diet.
I did finally cave in and binge on all sorts of badness and I am officially "starting over".
I'm allowed to start over as with many things in life. So here I am, starting again. YAY!
So, here goes....
Breakfast: Eggs and Meat, nonfat greek yogurt w/wheat germ (can't do oat bran and wheat germ has a huge leap more protein anyhow)
Lunch: Tuna
Dinner: Garlic Lime Chicken
I am going to focus on my water today and make sure to walk up and down the stair case here in the new office.
My mom's 60th birthday is today and I am taking her and my daughter out to see Earth, Wind and Fire live in concert! It should be a great show!
I will get back on track with regular posting tomorrow as well.........guess who's baaaaaaccccckkk!!!!
