Busy day today with work, finding it hard to focus. Thinking about home, missing my Sis, cousin, Mom and home town buddies. But I will see them in May when I go home for a few days. This week just has been hard with the sudden death of a family member. Makes you stop and realize that we are not immortal and we do need to live each day to it's fullest.
I shared this with my 5 closest lady loves today, feel it is appropriate to share here:
"Hello my lady loves.. We've been a bit quiet this week due to the shock of cousin/Aunt --- passing away.. Ohh life can be so short if our bodies aren't taken care of. That makes this group even more important to me!! You 5 are my lady loves and we need to get and stay healthy so we can be around for a very very long time. No sudden deaths at 56..
So I am stepping up my game, I have already started down the path of healthy clean eating, now I need to focus on a daily exercise routine and get off the last few cigs that I can not just stop. I reloaded the quit smoking app and have been tracking again daily - I can't get COPD like --- had. Sunday Chet and I will start a 90 day Tai Cheng exercise challenge and we are committing to exercise at the gym 5 days a week and 2 days we walk around the block twice - or walk to the park or Fresh Market. This sitting on my @$$ in-front of my computer 24x7 throwing my life away for WORK is OVER!! I have 7 nieces and nephews that I want to see graduate, guide toward college, get married, have babies.. etc..
I know you are all really busy with work, the kids, building a house, recovering from surgeries, etc. But take a few minutes and think about your long term goal. Lose XX lbs, get down to XX size, take XX steps a day, plan a dream trip to XX place, come to NC to visit me .. Once you have your long term goals set, start thinking about what small milestones can help you get there.
My Big Goals - Get back down to a 12/14 and maintain (no more YO-YO), go scuba diving this year, plan a big Italy trip for spring next year, plan the bone lengthening/straightening surgery for Spring 2015! - Guess I can use all the equipment the Moms have already
My Short term Goals - As you guys know I started my lil fitness challenge with my friend on Dec 2, the Monday after Thanksgiving. My eye was on a 50 lb weight loss.. well 57 to be exact. I'm almost there.. Next short term is another 50 lbs
Milestones - STOP drinking WINE, eliminate nitrates, reduce cheese intake, remove thyroid aggravating foods and substances, get up and move more, stretch and exercise, physical therapy/acupuncture on my knee."
I know.. deep right.. Haaa.. :) Well, that is my story and my plan. Writing this blog - even if no one reads it, is really helping me stay on track and keep up my motivation.
Ok back to my day..
Right before lunch I vacuum sealed up the chicken I cooked yesterday and made another Kefir cheese. Can't wait for Sis to try it - think I am becoming a master Kefir cheese maker. Each batch is better than the last. Plus it is much lower in fat than regular cheese with the bonus of all the good bugs :) Now to figure out what to do with all the Whey I have accumulating..
Late day snack took me down today.. I decided to have 1oz of Brie. While I was eating it, I was already planning the next serving. Didn't focus on how wonderful it tasted, I just wanted the next serving. NOT conscious eating.. Must not allow this to become a pattern. It is ok to indulge - but enjoy the indulgence and don't allow it to turn into a binge. - Practice what you preach here babeee!!
Well, guess what.. Made a conscious choice to have yet ANOTHER 2 oz of cheese at dinner. As I was weighing it out, I told Chet I was going to have 1 oz a piece of the cheeses on my turkey burger. 'I am owning this decision, tracking it and OWNING IT!' :)
