Have YOU given up yet?

There are statistics that say over 50-60% of you have already given up on your resolutions. Question is.... why?

Have you not gotten your materials or ideas organized on how to succeed?
Have you decided that it's just too hard to maintain?
Have you just plain given up?

If you answered YES to any of those items well you are human, but you are allowing excuses to get in your way. No one has 100% on days 100% of the time. The point is you have to allow yourself to forgive and move on. It's easier to continually put yourself down or make yourself feel bad for not doing something. Find the time for you... Find the energy for you.



I've made some pretty aggressive goals to lose 100 lbs this year. I wanted to try and lose close to 10 lbs a month. Knowing that some months I'll ROCK IT!!! some I'll fall a little short. I'm not going to beat myself over it to the point that I don't continue to try. A loss is a loss and as long as I keep going down even if it's a lb at a time/week it's a loss. Eventually I'll see the results I desire and I believe this year of TRANSFORMATIONS will happen as long as I want it bad enough.



Hang in there my fellow weight loss friends. If you need motivation or a pep talk just let me know!

This weeks focus: Affirmation

This week not only am I going to continue my push for hydration but I'm going to start telling myself a positive image affirmation in the mirror each day this week.

Not only do we need to change our outer self but also our inner self. I do believe there are scars that we bury deep down that also cause our bad habits or our ease to give up on our goals. Until you face the skeletons in your closet will you begin to heal and love yourself.

I believe I have many thing that I need to just clear out and open up to myself about and let them go. Forgive not only others but myself for those things. I am in hopes that affirmations will assist me in doing so this week. I've also pondered the thought of writing down those things into a notebook and then burning the pages one by one setting them free.

This weeks focus: Hydration

Each week I'm going to focus on a new thing that will help in my weight loss journey.
First things first.... HYDRATION!

It's said that you should drink .5 OZ for every lb you weigh each day. I weighed in Monday at 333.4 X .5= 166.7 oz of water... Holy moley! That's a lot of water batman!

What I'm going to do is try and drink more then I did the day before and get me up to that level. I don't want to drown myself or get myself in a place where I have to run to the bathroom every few mins (especially because I'm on long calls at work and just can't get up for an hour or 2). So today's goal is to drink 3 of my 20 oz bottles before I leave work. That's 60 oz. Then I'm going to try and drink another 40 oz before 8 PM but need to stop there or I'll be up all night. Good start I think. Then tomorrow I'll add 20 oz more then 20 oz more the next day and so on.

I'm hoping by the weekend I'll be up to where I need to be at to maintain Hydration. Then I can pick something else to focus on next week. Stay tuned.
