C2 - Day 4

Today I get to attend a wake for my mentally challenged cousin Joey.  Before I met Denise T - I never would have said that I GET TO go...I would have always put the I have to spin on it.  Your whole world can change when you just open yourself up to I GET TO.I tried a new sweetner today:  Truvia.  It's made from the leaf of the Stevia plant.  So far in my coffee it's only take the bitter edge off.  But...that's not a...

I am better than I used to be...

Today my husband & I had a verbal disagreement which resulted in his hanging up on me.  i normally would have gone for the jugglar in our fights...looking for a way to "win".  But today was different.  I found myself coming from a place of peace.  As I sat here at my desk thinking about the situation, I decided to write down how I felt - to write my husband an e-mail.  So, I sat in silence and asked GOD...

C1 - Day 3

Today I will concentrate my intention on trusting the process and letting go of the outcome.  Bill's latest blog truly inspired me to make this a priority in my life.  For so long I have over-analyzed everything down to the most minute detail.  My meals (i.e. EXACTLY how many calories, carbs, protein I'm eating), my goals (picking weight goals and consistently questioning whether or not they are realistic...doubting myself and the ...

C1 - Day 2

Woke up today smiling...yet another day to be here with you all and another day to connect with God.  Feeling confident in my abilities to really become that person that I see inside.  I completed my Assignment #1.  So much different from my first challenge.  While some of the feelings still remain inside, I've noticed they are so much LESS intense than they used to be.  This is HUGE progress!  I am really starting t...

C2 - Day 1

Yesterday I spent the day walking the Brookfield Zoo with our kids.  If you've ever been there...it's HUGE!  It was a great way to begin to realy get a jump-start on gettng the muscles built back up on the leg/ankle.  After awhile (4-5 hours) it was getting pretty sore so we decided to head home.   Today I am putting the finishing touches on my packet and will be UPS'ing it to Bill today.  The minute it leaves my hands an...

Connecting to Intention - through the looking glass

When I saw the subject of this week's radio show, something inside told me that this was going to be important.  So I prepared for this...putting aside the time to sit and listen and chat with my friends here at T.com.  As the intro music began you could feel energy rushing through the chat.Bill began to talk about intention...connecting to intention and letting the outcome go.  I found myself hanging on every word - connectin...

Now I remember...this is what CRAP feels like...

Since injuring myself I've used it an an excuse...an excuse to eat poorly...not workout AT ALL and to pedal backwards in my transformation journey.Today I have been fully reminded of exactly what feeling like CRAP actually feels like.  My stomach needs som Pepto...my head feels so cloudy it's hard to think...I'm so dehydrated that I'm more cranky than I have been in MONTHS...my head hurts from the lack of water/nutrients...I feel like I've b...

Ankle is HEALED! Now for the finger...

Today was the day I went in for my check-up for my foot.  The bone is almost completely healed!  The doctor has given me the green light to lose the frankenboot and begin working out again (walking, etc...) without restriction.  He did tell me that my ankle/calf muscle are going to be sore & tight for awhile so I can still use the franken-boot when I feel I need it.Now...as for my finger...it's not so simple.  After furthe...

Finish line...

Today I'm sitting here at work thinking about these past 3 months.  I've been laid up with a broken ankle...not able to do anything.  I let my foot injury give me excuses to not eat well.  I ate crappy for the better portion of 3 months.  Now...this morning I worked up the courage to step back onto the scale...to see how much damage I'd done.  I had set myself up and prepared myself for maximum damage.  Low and behol...

CHOOSING to let go

Marty once told me that it's not the body that holds on to the fat...it's the mind.  So, in reality, it's all in your head...holding on to the fat is all in your head.  From this moment on...I choose to let go.  I let go of the fat...I let go of the pain being fat caused me...I let go of the worry...I let go of the negative thought...from this moment on...I let go.I'm going to begin my challenge soon.  Next week is the follow-...

Packet

I never took an after picture...something I regret now.  I intend to use my 2nd round "before" as my first round "after".I have been going back and forth about finishing/sending in my packet.  Some old force in me was trying to drag me down...telling me that I had zero changes...that I wasn't good enough...I wouldn't win anyways so why bother?These excuses are old...old and tired.  I promised myself that I would...

EXCUSE: It will be difficult

 Thinking about this excuse is uncomfortable.  Uncomfortable because it is one that I use frequently to allow myself to continue to be lazy.  1.  Is it True?    Absolutely not - is it REALLY too difficult to eat right....REALLY too difficult to exercise daily?  No.  Is it really too difficult for me to keep the house clean and organized?  No.  Is it really too difficult to lose the weight and...

Gearing up for another challenge starting 5/25.Working on my meals and getting my ubwo/abs down.  Leg workouts will consist mostly of leg lifts, etc...  Working with a broken bone is challenging but I'm looking forward to the challenge.  I'm working on my packet from my first challenge.  I really want to send this off before 5/25 so I can start this new challenge fresh.  I want to leave the garbage behind and really focus...

Monday morning...life is crazy.  This ankle is really starting to mentally get the better of me.  With all this weight, will it heal ok?  What if I can never run again?  All of these thoughts are swirling in my head.  Feeling overwhelmed and concerned.  But - at the end of the day - if I never run again, I can still walk.  I can still powerwalk - it will just take time.Being patient was something I NEVER have be...

Today is my co-worker's wake.  I'm feeling so sad today...she was so young and full of life...it's really difficult to wrap my head around the fact that she won't be coming back.I'll go at lunch to get an emergency protein bar for the drive as I won't be able to have dinner.   5/8  -  NUTRITION  8:00    -  M1  -  Whole wheat bagel (230)  - 3/4 C. egg beaters (120)  - forgot the...

Day 128

I DID IT!  I finished 18 weeks!!!!Did I lose HUGE amounts of physical weight?  No, just about 13 pounds.This transformation wasn't about losing physical weight for me...I had many challenges.- I broke my ankle- I went through a health scare with my heart- I went through a health scare with my husband- I went through a health scare with my son- I binged- I didn't workout because of my ankle / mental blocksWhat I did lose was immense...

Day 127

Well - follow up with the doctor did not go as I expected it to go. Looks like I really did a number on my ankle. The hairline fracture has now opened up to a full break. The doctor said I was an eyelash short of having surgery to put a screw in my bone to hold it together. He told me that for the next 4 weeks I am to only walk when absolutely necessary...to wear my frankenboot and to keep my foot up. This is exactly what I intend to do...I ...
