The beginning of a Journey!!! Yes, TOTAL CONTROL!! While there are some things that just can't be controlled in life, my Life and my weight doesn't have to be any of them. What is a journey and why do I call this the beginning of my journey? Well, lets see. Webster's definitions of journey are:(1) A traveling from one place to another, usually taking a rather long time; (2) Passage or progress from one stage to another: That's why I call my new lifestyle of freedom and my weight loss Blog a journey. Because you see, in this life we sometimes want things microwave fast. We get those things and then relapse right back into the state we were before them or we lose them, whether physically or by losing interest. Think about it, revisit in your own mind something that you wanted bad, got and then this happened to you.
Well, it happened to me with my weight. I was down to the size I needed to be, got careless, thought I had it made and look now, RELAPSE!!! I weigh 40 pounds more than I did when I experienced my first success at weight loss. So, all that said, That's why I call this a journey, because this time, this time, I am going to FOCUS, COMMIT, BE IN TOTAL CONTROL, AND ACHIEVE!!! I will place these words on every mirror in my house in lipstick or dry erase; whatever it takes to keep it ever before me. And, as for my freedom from my former lifestyle and Mrs. title, I'll go on this trip to see what the destiny's end has in store for me. I'm gonna SOAR!!!! Come journey with me, won't you. I am looking to start a women's group and have given a heads up to all the ladies that I know. We'll blog together.

  2. June 3, 2009:Know this followers, THERE WILL BE SETBACKS!!! I was doing ok this morning, when I drank tea, I drank my waters,and I had tomato soup for lunch. But this evening! What a disappointment!! First of all, Doc and I couldn't walk because she said the trees were a conductor for lightning (Some science buff mess!!) So NO EXERCISE. Secondly, we got all the wrong foods; souse, hot tamales, cheetos. What happened? NO FOCUS+NO CONTROL+NO COMMITMENT=NO ACHIEVEMENT. But thank God there's always another chance. What I will do though is my Walk away the pounds DVD for 3 miles here in the house. Still trying!! Will Succeed!!!

  3. Yeap!!! I guess reading back, a journey does take a long time. I thought I was on the road and look, a detour!! Did I go around the wrong bend? I got side-winded. Thats what happened. I started looking off. I didn't FOCUS!! Remember this is one of my theme words in my introduction; FOCUS, COMMIT, BE IN TOTAL CONTROL AND ACHIEVE. Well, thank God for another day. This means I get to try all over again. Remember this, Journeys have setbacks, and making an analogy of our bodies as vehicles, as we travel on this journey, some setbacks may be, blowouts, stalls, wrong turns, idling, and I can go on and on but I'm sure you get the picture. So, I'm up and running this morning, guess I'll get back on the road to my journey. Come on let's GO!!!
