On the road

It is slowly moving along.  My back is still bothering me and found out I have Degenerative Disc Disease. My impression is that it is something at some point in time most people will have with age mine is just happening early and can be corrected.  So here I go - God, I think I got it!  Enough with the signs I need to lose weight.  I'm doing it slowly but it's getting done!

Here we go!

So how many times can we start on a journey?  I guess I don't know, I keep starting and stopping but hopefully this time I will just start on this journey and never get off of it.  This time it will be a change of direction and a new adventure, I love adventures.

Recently, I started with Young Living Essential Oils and it has really made an impact on me.  I am just loving them and how more even and balanced I have been feeling.  So today I start on making it a more every day and permanent part of my life. I am going to try a weight loss regime with them.

1.  I am going to have one water bottle of water with a drop or two of grapefruit in it.  No other liquids until that bottle is all gone!  Then I will have a normal breakfast when I feel hungry.
2.  Then I will smell the Slique Essence if I get any morning cravings.  I'm really trying to find and wait for those hunger pains.  I must have them like the rest of the world?
3.  In the afternoon, I am going to drink a glass of the Slique Tea.  I'm hoping this will give me some energy and stop all the afternoon snacking.  I tend to do that when I'm bored or when I'm trying to stay awake.

Soon I will add the Ningxia Red into my routine as well.  I am just out of it at the moment and get an opportunity to get some in a few weeks at a really good deal so I am going to wait.

This is where I am going to start and see what happens.  I"m also praying my back stays where it should be and I can start exercising!  Lots of things in life are going to be getting done and falling into place.

Not Keeping Up!

So once again, life has gotten the best of me and I can't see to keep up on anything.  As much as I'd like to say things are happening they are not!  So now I'll be starting on April 16 the day after tax season.  My life will begin again and I will continue on the journey to half without any detours.

Also starting Young Living Essential Oils and we are loving them!  There might be more of this talk going on too as the journey continues.  I started with my first glass of the Slique tea today.  Actually, no too bad considering I don't normally like tea.  I didn't even have to add anything.  We will see how it curbs my appetite and/or makes me eat less.  I've got some other oils I'm going to try along with the tea and Slique oil.

Next time let's shoot for some progress!

Project 365 - Doing it!!

Here is another challenge I am going to try and accept!  Starts tomorrow and doing something I love!

Maybe my 365 can be for this blog so I start posting daily! :)

 

Take the challenge!

 

Did my first 5K

As scared as I was to do I crossed the finish line at the Halloween Fun Run.  It really was tougher than I thought it would be, it's only 3 miles right.  But you have to do it in less than an hour and you have people passing you that look like they are crawling!  Seriously, I was hoofing it and scared to be the last one and not to be able to finish.  So glad I pushed through and did it!  Very happy my niece and sister-in-law where there to support me!  Thanks a million! 

I feel accomplished and happy to have done this!  Now on to the next one and hopefully weigh less and be able to run more!

Can't keep up!

I knew this would happen!  I'd try and start doing this blog and wouldn't keep up with it.  And that is what happened.  I have to try harder!

So I want to sign up for the Halloween Fun Run, but I'm so scared.  Even though I know I can walk this and I've seem people bigger than me walk it.  I'm just scared to start this journey and make this commitment or something?  Should or shouldn't I??  Just go for it is what I'd tell everyone and anyone else who asked me.  Why am I such a scaredy cat?  UGH!

Here I go!

I'm switching this over to a blog for my weight loss journey.  I just feel like I need to put it out there for the world to see for it to work.  Like you need to say it or see it to believe it philosophy. 

I'll post a pic tonight of me and Isaak riding an elephant at the Renaissance Festival a few weeks ago.  Totally mortified by it I wanted to delete them all but I can't.  How many times will Isaak get a chance to do something and I can't ruin that memory for him because I'm ashamed of how I look.

So here we go it is now or never!  I'm having a difficult time setting a time frame on this big goal but will start with some smaller goals and post those as I make them.  I'll also start sharing on Facebook when I feel confident enough in sharing this journey with the world.  For now it can be for whoever stumbles across it.
