i have had an awesome day..i started out this morning getting up late but made it ..and was looking at my facebook on my phone and saw so many comments from people who are my friends stating how inspiring i am to others and i thought wow..how nice to have such great friends..to have such support..the support means so much to me..without it i dont know if i would care as much as i do and keep doing this..
i noticed before if i didnt blog and people really didnt know anything about me changing my foods..then i would say well no one is going to care if i get a box of candy for tonight..i used to buy the 1.00 box of hot tomales over at the dollar store..and eat them in my room so no one would know about it..600 extra calories cause i would eat the whole box in one evening..i didnt think anything of it..wow you are never gonna catch me eating 600 empty calories again..no way..but i didnt hold myself accountable and i didnt tell people what i was supposed to be doing..so i would get off of it in a hurry..
this blogging is so neat..i can put out all my feelings and hold myself accountable and try and support others as everyone is supporting me..and i am so so thankful for all my friends and family who are so supportive on here and fb..and myspace..and my family who is always supporting me in everything..
giving someone positive support is so important to a person..what you say to someone can make or break the persons self esteem..i try and keep a positive outlook on things all the time now..i wasnt always like this..just a few months ago i was a mess but iam so much better and so much stronger for everything i have went through..and my friends and family are a big part of why i am doing better..the biggest part of course is JESUS..HE got me through it but not without the help of my friends..so thank you for that..and thank you for this..i am grateful for the positive support that all of you bring to me..
i was just overwhelmed today by all the nice messages i receive about being an inspiration..here iam just trying to get this weight off for real this time..all iam doing now is just sharing my journey..iam glad to being sharing it with everyone..i know we all need positive support and a kind word to get thru the day..its such a small thing but it means alot to people..to just be kind..
i have done well today..i have gotten my 1300 in and i walked my mile tonight in the wind and the night air..but it felt nice..i almost walked a mile and a half but i decided to do that later..so i came in ..and started this..i got some good news today..i can get into the store bought compression hose..anyone who knows about these knows how expensive this stuff is..the store bought is around 80.00 and the custom made is 900.00 and i thought i was going to have to do the custom made which is something i cant do to begin with..so it is a blessing today to find out i can do the store bought..so yea!..
i am getting better with the legs, i only have maybe 2 more weeks until i get the hose on..and then i will be walking all over the place..i got my time down tonight too while i was walking..i am now doing the laps in 6 minutes..i want to get each lap down to 5 minutes so i can do 3 miles in 70 minutes..but that might be a few months..i have a year til the heart walk..lol
well i just wanted to let you all know how much the support means to me and i will always try and be as supportive as i can be too..i love you all
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
KELLI
You are doing great...rolling along one day at a time not letting any obstacles stand in your way...you are going to make it!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so well..and I am not surprised to find you inspiring people.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to be a ball of fire before long.
Wow, you are awesome! Such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMyth No. 1: You may be surprised to know that the fitness industry has no generally agreed upon definition of fitness. And many kinds of exercise have no positive impact on muscle mass. My definition of fitness, for the purpose of this article, is having optimum amounts of lean body mass and body fat. Ideally, any exercise program should reach these twin results, although most muscle building workouts fail to do so.Myth No. 2: The standard strategy of alternating weightlifting workouts every other day for multiple muscle groups is the most effective way to build muscles. This is a myth. Indeed, new and old research shows that this is pretty much a stupid strategy, for several reasons. Fitness gurus who still advocate this standard strategy are either ignorant of this body of scientific research or they choose to ignore it.Myth No. 3: You can look just like the folks on TV infomercials and other kinds of advertisements if you just buy whatever they are selling and do what they tell you to do. The truth for most people is that they are not predisposed to get those results. Only a select few can.

The other big thing I have been working on is my eating. Earlier this year as I was training for my marathon I felt it was too crazy a time to try and also work on the weight issue, besides, 22 mile training runs had me eating everything in sight, and being new at long distances my concentration needed to be 100% on my training. So now that some time has gone by and I am not training for anything specific, my next goal is to lose some of those extra pounds. My past experience has lead me to calorie counting and taking charge of meal portion. At 5"2" my ideal weight is around 110-115. I am 138 presently. I lost 35 pounds over the past two years and dramatically changed my body composition through exercise, but I seem to have hit a wall. I have chubby butt and hip syndrome, hard areas to get rid of. I made a choice and joined Weight Watchers. Yikes! When I tell people this I get reactions that are on both ends of the spectrum, from, "That's great, it's a wonderful tool", to, "Why waste your money on that junk?" Actually it's been GREAT. So poo poo to all you naysayers! It's just the online version, but the tools for logging your food intake are marvelous, well conceived and easy to use; you are constantly reminded to be drinking fluids and eating good foods.
ReplyDeleteRebecca says the greatest challenge that Stacey will face trying to best this is the relationships that need to heal, and one of the greatest reasons why we bring children into treatment with their mom's is so that relationships can begin to heal. And that relationship that begins to heal can continue healing as they leave treatment and rejoin their loved ones. Rebecca's program will be taking Stacey kids with her.The kids were waiting outside for her and they are going to the airport and head for the treatment program. Stacey says "I'm there" and willing to do it, this is the last time Stacey takes pain killers everyday just to get up and start functioning, her addiction was so bad she took pain killers all through her pregnancies and both her son and daughter were born addicted to narcotics. Because of that they had to go to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for weeks. Stacey says no one that innocent deserves to be born into that life.Stacey has tried in the past to kick this addiction to pain pills, the withdrawals are horrible, she has night sweats, gets chills, she can't hold still and goes right back to the drugs. Stacey admits she cannot kick the habit of prescription pain medications by herself.
ReplyDeleteThe Açai berry loses a significant amount of its nutritional value shortly after it is harvested. Once crushed, it must be frozen immediately, because of its high fat content, to prevent spoiling.
