Hello Friends,

Well I weighed in and I am very disappointed in myself. I did not lose one pound this month! I let my friends down, I let MicroNutra down and I let myself down. It’s my fault, I did not do what I was supposed to do and the results do not lie. The scale does not lie, the mirror does not lie, and the pictures do not lie. I am very upset; I could not blog last night during my pity party woes.

I think Sarah sensed my disappointment and was doing her best to encourage me. She said, “We are here to help you; it takes making a lot of small changes to get to the results” and told me to keep moving forward. I did not listen until today, and yesterday I decided to have pizza and cookies and beer then at about my 5th cookie and second glass of beer I said to myself… “What the heck are you doing?…Are you going to give up that easily?…So what, you screwed up does that mean you continue to screw up?… You can not take back what has already passed you can only improve what you are going to do in the future…” Hey! I am right…lol. Sarah is right. I have to move forward. I have to learn from this past month. I know my activity levels have increased, I have been cleaning houses 3-6 hours a day 5 days a week, the last few weeks…but I have not stayed on my eating plan…I don’t know how to keep it all in sync to make it work for me.

I know the plan is to Fuel, Move, Rest but I have not been able to accomplish that. It’s hard to reverse all that you have learned and done in the past. I am aware of what needs to be done…why is it so difficult to accomplish? I look at Sarah…what is her eating plan? what is her exercise plan? She does very well with her knowledge but has she ever been obese? If that answer is no, she has not experienced being obese she can not understand, but that does not mean she can not help. Sometime just a word will change a person’s life!

I re-read this and I sound like I am counseling some crack addict, which if you don’t know, I do counsel crack addicts and have been for 10 years. I need to take my own advice! Looking back at this month as far as what I was eating…I think one problem is I was eating a lot of nuts for my protein source because I did not feel I had the time to eat anything else, I did not drink enough water, I did not take my Glucofast as scheduled. Maybe I need a check list. Sarah asked what would help and I think a check list would help. Something that starts the day… water Glucofast, breakfast, water, exercise etc…I don’t know maybe I will work on it and it will help us all!

Ok Friends, I need your support and encouragement to get over this hump and set back. I need to feel I can move forward and accomplish my weight loss goals.

I hope this finds you well and healthier then the day before. Be encouraged, be strong and keep making those changes to get you to your healthy goals for life!
