Coming back

It has been a long time since my last post. I have been through a lot of life changes since my last post Weight, stress, depression was at one time an all time high. I am restarting my blog to possible help with their struggles in life

New Year New me

It begin my getting healthy campaign in October 2010. Since then, I have lost 40 lbs, lower my blood pressure, finished my BS in Health and Wellness degree. The best accomplishment is getting to closer to God. Reaffirming my love for God and Jesus Christ has been positive and uplifting experience.

I plan to grow more this year in my faith, and in my love for life.

Deep Breathing

The past couple of days have been really hectic. I have had to really my practice my deep breathing to reduce my stress. Sometimes I just want to scream,but it would not do any good. It has been really busy at work, being short staffed has really been a struggle on all of us. I think some of nerves are becoming very raw, and will set of the kind of emotions. Hope not.
Anyway, finished my papers last night, but apparently I submitted the wrong to one of my instructors, it can really irritating when I do something so stupid. I guess that what happens when you're really tired. I am resubmitting today.

Going to do my ab work out today, taking it easy on my knee this week, I have been having some swelling after my work outs, so I am trying to rest it for week and use ice packs on it. Just so I do some exercise I am happy. The eggplant parm was great last night, tonight we will have buffalo turkey burgers-yummie......

Off to work soon, will check back in tonight.

It's a Battle

Every day it is a battle to getting healthy, though I am happy with my workouts, weight loss etc... there are days I just like to do not get things acomplished like I should. With Timmy working a lot, (believe me I am very thankful), I am left with all the housework, cooking, homework, working out and of course, the regular workday. This has been very trying on my stress factors, so I am having to meditate more often than before. It brings me back to myself and why I am doing all I do each and every day.

I have enjoyed cooking this week so far. Sunday I made grilled salmon with tomato basil sauce with seasoned egg noodles and salad. I also made a breakfast casserole for us to eat on this week. Yesterday, was a homemade pizza, yes pizza, made low calorie and low fat. Tonight is healthy eggplant parm.

Papers due tonight so I will be up late again, wait to the last minute to finish up. But I know I will get 'ur done as my husband would say.

Anyway, looking forward to a great day.
love to all.

It's been a great day

Got up this morning, normal routine of getting things together for work, worked at the HPRHS Gym was a little late getting there, but I managed to get a good 30 minutes in on the eliptical. It's great getting back to my routine, I feel a big difference in how feel. I had been a real funk the last couple of weeks because of my schedule changes and unable to get my dose of exercise each day.

The book I am reading has really brought back to myself, it really keys on the what I have been through for so many years. I have to thank Mary for letting me borrow this book.

Planning a good meal for supper, turkey tenderloin, green beans, boiled potatoes and cantaloupe. Overall, I am getting back to myself.

It's time to get real

This intended for all my facebooks friends and family. It has come an important time in my life to share with everyone my struggles with weight and what I have over come in the past year. I was in denial, I felt terrible all the time, relied on a bag of potato chips, fried foods and other items to make my stress feel better. But I learn that was not the answer. God, Faith, Jesus, and finding myself was the key to my well being.

Since then, I have lost 41 lbs, love life, enjoy swimming again, love my husband looking at me with the adoring eyes, best of all love loving myself. I love myself for whom I am, not for what someone wants me to be or thinks I should be. I may step on toes now, but I just want to share with others that being obese is not healthy. You may be healthy as far as you labwork, but what does the number on the scale show, how much fat is hiding around your heart, so this is my challenge, for everyone to be honest with themselves. Do you feel great going up steps, walking around the block, having fun on the beach or do you feel bad, tired, fatigued?

Follow me on my journey, I am still growing and learning, losing weight, finding myself again has been really great......

Hello to anyone still blogging

It was a great day for me to day. I am actually fitting in clothes I have not worn into a real long time. Still working on my stress issues. Maybe someday I will have conquered. I hope some of the folks from class are still blogging.....
