God gives every bird a worm, but he does not throw it into the nest".

"God gives every bird a worm, but he does not throw it into the nest".  I love this proverb.We all have it inside of us, to give ourselves a better way of life.  It's just a matter of us following through and carrying it out.  If we do not give any effort, we will not obtain the results we are looking for.  Only we have the power to make our dreams and goals come true....

I am choosing my "hard"

Well, I have had a bit of a set back.  I have been giving 100% since I started this wonderful new journey.  However, over the past week or so I have been slipping a bit.  Not with my exercise, but with my eating habits.  A little "pick" here and a little "pick" there, has brought an extra two pounds on the scale.  A friend of mine pointed something out to me that I guess I should have seen on my own......

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SAIL

"To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it.  But we must not drift or lie at anchor."  - Oliver Wendell HolmesNo matter how rough the waters may seem, I am forging ahead.  I am trying so hard to not let anything knock me off course.  It is very easy for us to sometimes let our hard work and efforts slip away.  I won't let it happen this time.  I wish you all the strengt...

Worth fighting for

Quite often I have been finding old habits trying to sneak back into my life little by little.  However, I am resisting.  I continue to keep my mind focused on what matters most to me, and I can't let these habits get the best of me.  I refuse.  My end result is what matters most to me and that my friends, is worth fighting for.  So if anyone feels temptation setting in, fight it.  It is time to do what's best for yo...

Anything is possible

Just thought I would write a little today about how I'm feeling. For the first time in a very long time, I felt a bit of an accomplishment.  In the past, I have found it very difficult to lose weight.  No matter how hard I tried (yes, I would faulter here and there), in a year's time I was lucky if I lost 3 pounds.  Well as of today (a month into this transformation), I have lost 13 pounds.  I am so excited.  I actua...

MANY OF US ARE MORE CAPABLE THAN SOME OF US...BUT NONE OF US IS AS CAPABLE AS ALL OF US!!

We are all here for the same reason.  To help ourselves on a physical and spiritual level.  There are some who may be breezing through, yet some who are struggling behind.  It is so important for us to walk with each other and let the others know that they are not alone.  We are by their sides, no matter what obstacles they incur along the way.  Best to all...Andrea...

Don't find fault....find a remedy

Sometimes I get so angry at myself when I am not giving 100%.  I think of how many times I make poor choices and veer off course.  I need to dig deeper.  Instead of just saying, "no problem, I'll do better tomorrow", and forget about it, I need to figure out why I am doing this and work on NOT doing it again.  I can make up many excuses as to "why" I'm doing it, but I never pinpoint the REAL reason.  I...

Thursday's Thoughts

A quote I'd like to share with you today is: "You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it". - Margaret Thatcher I think it's safe to say that for many of us here, it is definitely not our first time around. I have lost count of how many times I have tried to change my lifestyle and bad habits.  Everytime I think I've been successful, something always goes wrong.  Before I know it, I'm back to my old ways. ...

THE RISE AFTER THE FALL

OUR GREATEST GLORY IS NOT IN NEVER FALLING BUT IN RISING EVERYTIME WE FALLWhen I signed up for the transformation challenge I was so focused and determined to really achieve the best I could. I completed all my assignments promptly. Having read all Bill Phillips books, I was prepared with my diet sheets,exercise logs... and off I went. During the first week I experienced a set-back. During my workout, I tore my gluteus maximus muscle and hemorrha...
