Happy Wednesday everyone, the weekend is starting to come into focus!!!! Keep pressing on, we got this!!!
Good morning!! I hope you are all having a fantastic day. I know, its only Wednesday, we have so many days left, but we are getting there!!
So yesterday we went to Walmart and got a scale for my bedroom, so I could keep track of my weight. I was so worried that I had gained, I just felt like I was going backward. I felt bigger. But when I weighed, I had lost 9 more pounds!! Thats a total of 94lbs since January!!! I am so happy!! As Momma pointed out, I am so close to being UNDER 400lbs!!! It has been YEARS since I have been under 400lbs!! I am so proud of this!!! I know that I could not have done it without all the help and support for you guys, so pat yourselves on the back, you saved my life!!
We had leftovers last night from Memorial day, so it was more shishkabob and hamburgers. It was delicious, even the second day. I was one of those kids who would never eat left overs, I hated it, but some how, David's mom makes them taste brand new again, its amazing!!
My sister in law ordered some weight loss patches from Wish and, I wont lie, I tried them myself last year but I was so bad about forgetting to put it on, so I gave up. I dont know if they work, I HIGHLY doubt it, but she is excited to try it. I told her, just eat the way I do, you will see a change almost immediately. She said that she could never do it. Girl eats chips for breakfast and will put away a cast iron of cornbread all by herself. I told her its easy once you actually dig in and do it, but she wont. She tried Kombucha, that didnt work for her, so now its weight loss patches. I wish that she would listen to me, not even full Keto, but if she cut SOME of her carbs it may help.
They are going to take my nieces to Silver Dollar City (amusement park) in a week, so I think she hopes to lose some by then, but I just dont have the heart to tell her that there is no magic patch or pill, its hard work and determination.
I mean, I was the same way, I would try everything but diet. I would take pills, put on patches, stop eating completely. She just needs her wake-up moment, that moment when she hits rock bottom and knows the only way up is to truly change. It took me realizing that I was going to lose memories with my nephew, with my husband, with my family. I have already lost so many, I wont let me lose anymore. I will keep pushing until I can keep up with him, run with him, and live my life!! #Takingmylifeback!!!
Its time to start going to the lake! I am excited!! I know that I am not skinny, I will never be skinny, but I have lost weight and I know now that I can do it! I will go to the lake proud of my new body, even if people stare and make fun of me, I know how hard I have worked and how far I have come and THAT is what matters. I am proud of where I am, when I look behind me, I do not see an easy path anymore, I see a DO NOT ENTER sign!! I wont go back down that path!! I will keep pushing and get to the TOP OF MY MOUNTAIN!!! And I know I will have all of you there, celebrating with me!! Thank you for your love and support!!
Today I will thank God for how far He has brought me. I will praise Him for the success and give Him glory for even in the struggles, He was still with me. I will pray for guidance and strength through the day. I will pray for forgiveness for the things I have done that are not in line with His plan. I will pray for all of you, those who struggle, to help His hand lift you up to a place of celebration and I will pray for those who are in that place to continue their success. I will pray for peace and love in all our lives and protection from things that are out to stall or hurt us. In the heavenly name if Jesus, AMEN!!
Thank you all for reading this, and celebrating with me!! Remember, find your motivation and focus on only that. Do not let outside influences stop you!! Everyone is different, we all have our way of doing things and if it works for us, then KEEP WORKING IT!!! #FightGrindRepeat!!!
