Pretty Good First Week

Life is great isn't it? I had a pretty good week! Not perfect, but then that's not the goal! Perfection is unreachable, and just sets you up for failure! I choose to succeed and live my life healthy but allow for acceptions!

I got exercise in 2 days this week...and plan to do a big walk Saturday as well! I ate clean for most of the week...with one accception after an incredible sucessful business meeting the "team" went out for one glass of wine...and a couple appetizers to split...and yes... I enjoyed it!!!!

I've taken my suppleements every day, and drank enough water every day! Yes...I think it's been a great week! I don't even care what the scale says...cuz I feel great inside! I'm at peace this week...and to me...that's what this journey is all about!!!

All For One...and One for All...3 AMIGOS ARE BACK!!

Well...thanks so much Pammy for expressing yourself on your blog! I really have been reading them...just didn't have much to comment about! I let myself down....HUGE...and I really didn't want anyone else to know about it! During this competition...I've managed to go up 4lbs from my start weight...how crazy is that! But I'm done. I know I have no chance to win any money...but it's not the money anymore...I wanna win in life! I want to set the example for my children that their mommy ALWAYS finishes what she starts! That fitness can be fun and not a chore! That healthy food can taste deliscious and actually be the better choice! Yuppers...the 3 Amigos are back in action!

I actually secretly started yesterday. I'm taking it slow and steady...so I don't burn out like I just did! I have this bad habit of going gung ho to keep up with everyone else (most of whom are stay home moms)...not that I think that's an easy job...trust me...I KNOW its' not...got 6 kids....but trying to run a house with not much help from hubby...full-time dentistry...and starting my part-time business...(about to turn full-time June 30th), I just killed myself doing the P90X at 4 am!!!

So...for now...til I'm done with dentistry...I use the days I'm NOT at the dental office and get up at 6 am....like normal people...and do an hour power walk. My walk route has 2 MAJOR hills, and a giant set of about 80 stairs! Trust me...I feel it when I'm done that! On the days I do work in the dental office I'm just doing the 16 minute AB Ripper at lunch time! Saturdays and Sundays are optional, depending on my schedule! Hoping to get the boys interested in bike rides and nice long nature hikes...but we'll see how that plays out...maybe even some trampoline jumping!

As of July 1st...I'm full-time my own boss...so we'll see what I come up with then! Maybe I'll continue running...maybe try P90X again at a normal time...we'll see! I'm not planning that far ahead! Just taking things one day at a time! Enjoying my life one moment at a time!

Add the great eating I"m doing to the mix...and the new me has no choice but to emerge from her inner chains! Chained to the crazy beliefs that I'm not worth it!!! Guess what...I AM WORTH IT!!!

So I say with much excitement! The 3 Amigos are back...and us Canadian girls intend to kick some serious booty!!

xoxoxoxo Love you ladies!!

Spiralling

Well...I'm in that spot again! Funny thing is...this time I'm aware of it...but nonetheless...still watching it happen almost willingly!...kinda eery! I've hit a major bump in my road...I've lost 40lbs so far..(out of the 70 totall I have to lose), and I'm on my way back up! Gained 5 this month so far...with no end in sight!

I've gained and lost this damn 70 lbs 4 times...this 5th time was supposed to be the last "cycle"...but apparently I'm just not ready! I'm feeling loathing, contempt, failure...you name it...but I'm continuing down the wrong path. I can't, or maybe won't stop myself!

I need to graciously bow out of the competition before I humiliate myself with the weigh-in photos! Good luck to all...I will continue to read your blogs...and maybe even add one of my own in there when...and if...I can get things going again!
