Did I Eat That?

There have been days that I had to look at my daily diary and think, did I eat that? Many times, it's not the amount or portion size of what we eat but the value of the food we consume. You can have one slice of coconut cake. That's right one slice but that slice of cake is equivalent to a full meal in calories. You've already eaten a meal worth of calories for a dessert. These are not wise choices and can cause you to constantly go over your daily allotted calorie count. 




Being hungry unnecessarily because you didn't say no to a piece of cake makes you realize pretty quickly that those aren't the food choices you want to make often. MyFitnessPal Application gives you the ability to input your personal statistics into the application. Allowing the proper calculation for calorie count and nutritional needs for you daily. One pound gain means that you consumed 3,500 calories more than your body needed. Yep!



Take it one day at a time. Don't be too hard on yourself. Stop the negative thinking before it starts. Don't put yourself down. Don't beat yourself up. Let it go and start afresh immediately! You can do it! The key is Never Give Up, Never Quit! Keep going because you got this!

Don't Be Afraid of Stand Still

Hello everyone! Don't be afraid of standing still. What I mean is standing still in your weight loss journey. There will be periods of time that your weight loss will stand still. I mean really still. You will not lose weight yet you're sticking to proper eating habits and exercise. This too shall pass. I've gone through periods like this often enough.  I remember, it seemed like I couldn't lose weight no matter what. All of a sudden it was like I dropped twenty pounds overnight. I'm serious, I noticed I'd lost a lot of inches my clothes were much bigger on me. I also want to point out you may not lose pounds but you will be losing inches. Look I've learned to just go with the flow. If you don't learn to go with the flow you will become an emotional roll coaster on your weight loss journey.  Just take a deep breath. Everything will be alright! Really! Just keep going. At the beginning of your weight loss journey. The weight will come off pretty easy and ...

I Can See it Now

My weight loss journey has been long and slow. I don't go to the gym. I do my own exercises. Sometimes in life things can become so overwhelming that exercise has to go to the bottom of my list. The  work I do 7 days a week, 12 hours a day is very demanding both mentally and physically. It's God that keeps me going. Even when I'm exhausted I know I can never give up and never quit!  My weight has come off slowly. The more weight I lose the harder it is to lose. For the longest time, I couldn't even see the weight loss. I still struggle with that everyday. I look in the mirror and I could swear I'm bigger than I was yesterday. I know it sounds ridiculous but the mind can play many tricks on us. I struggle to see how much smaller I am now than when I began this journey.  These days I'm thinking about putting myself in maintenance mode and giving myself an emotional break for a week or two. Maintenance mode is no intentional weight loss or weight gain. Just maintai...

Who Ordered All This Loose Skin?

Hey! Who ordered all this loose skin? It took a little while but I started noticing how my skin was beginning to loosen up almost everywhere! My upper arms and my stomach are the worst! Yes, loose skin. I mean really loose skin. It gets looser the more I lose weight. All the exercise in the world is not gonna completely tighten up all that stretched out skin. As a matter of fact you probably won't notice much tightening at all! Well, I'm going to have to get used to all this extra skin because surgery simply isn't an option for me. I'm 60 years old and nobody has to be bothered with it but me and that's just fine. I've been big all my life. So my poor skin has been stretched for around 60 years. That's just not fair is it? The abuse we subject our bodies to because we love food and won't discipline ourselves. Overeating becomes a norm to us and we cause all kinds of medical issues. Many times we cause our own mental issues as well.  So now that we know b...
