Awesome attitude


Choose to Lose Weight
Adopt a Positive Attitude to Maximize Your Success

How to make the right everyday choices to put a positive spin on your weight loss efforts. Look for the silver lining when it comes to your healthy habits.

So you want to lose weight? Well, the choice is truly yours. To successfully reach your weight loss goals, you must consistently make the right choices to support your goals.

Though most people don't consciously make the choice to become or stay overweight, we do certain things to contribute to the problem, either consciously or subconsciously.

Each of the choices we make lead to consequences. Good choices foster positive results and bad choices can cause your progress to come to a grinding halt, or worse yet, create a negative result.

You can make the right choices for your weight loss plan by accepting a positive, can-do attitude. Put a positive spin on everything and look for the silver lining. Often times when we experience difficulty it is because there is a lesson to be learned.

Even for small everyday things like overdoing it on the snacks in the afternoon, it can be a lesson to eat a heartier breakfast so you won't get the munchies later in the day. If you look at it in this light, learn from the lesson, forgive yourself and move on, you will be successful. But if you dwell on the mistake and stress yourself you are likely to eat more because you are feeling bad and get into a negative spiral that is hard to break free from.

The same is true for exercise. If you choose to walk everyday and build up over time to include other activities and increase the length and intensity of your workouts, you will succeed at losing weight. You will set yourself on the right track for positive results. But if you let things get in the way or procrastinate you are making a less productive choice and will see little or no change in your weight.

It is our collective choices that make our program fail or succeed. What will you choose?

A nice walk


This morning I woke up and had a need/craving to go for a walk again. I was praying about where God wanted me to do my walking today ie: the local high school track, around the neighborhood etc. As I was waiting for my answer, my dad walked up the stairs and it dawned on me. I was immediately inspired to ask my dad to go walking with me at Warriors Park. My dad is very into nature and I have been telling him that we need to go walking together for weeks. To my pleasant surprise dad joined me for a nice .75 mile walk around the lake at the park. It was absolutely gorgeous! The temperature was around 67 and sunny. It was funny because a local Army troop was there doing PT *running around the park* and chanting things like.."Superman is big and strong....*echo*....but still no match for Army strong*echo*


I really felt for the ones lacking behind *because Lord that would be me*. I have never been a runner even when I was in shape.


Well, I am going to go and get ready for work. I shall kee you posted on my health / exercise status.

Back in the saddle again..


Wow okay, so for the past month and a half my body has been whacked out due to my good ole' thyroid screwing up again. I did go to the doctor and she upped my medicine which has helped immensley. The depression is gone and with it fatigue, brain fog and no more hair falling out.


Yesterday I walked a mile at work *four laps around our building is a mile* and today I woke up early, drove to a local school track and walked another mile!

I know...I know...it's nothing compared to what I was doing back in May/June but I AM getting back on track with my exercise and for that I say..PRAISE GOD!!



I almost forgot how good it feels to work up a good sweat outside, not to mention the good ole' endorphen kick during and after.


Anyhow, I would very much appreciate prayers to continue my walking everyday.


I love you all and take care!
