LYNN ARTERS COME ON DOWN...remember that from price is right...loved that show..
ANYway...This is Lovely Lynn week, im so excited..i love doing these weeks and getting to know people better..but this week, i pretty much know everything about this lady, so we are focusing on eating right (which she is def. helping me with..grrr j/k) and exercise..and helping me in life situations that will just make my life better..and im so excited and i have a new motivation towards this journey! THANKS LYNN!

Today, She invited me over for a healthy lunch and it was so good just to be in her presence and just chat like i use to (sitting in the chair in her office) I cant wait to see what god has in store for us in our week....

TRACY's WEEK!!!!..i didnt forget..

(TRACY IS THE ONE ON THE LEFT!!!)

I thank you tracy for the dinner and the time you spent with me..i truly thank you for your friendship and i truly love you and i also pray for you! and i know you always keep me in your prayers and encourage me all the time THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! (cant say it enough!!!)

SERGIO!!!

Happy birthday to him! He choose his birthday week to help me out..that just goes to show how much he thinks of others...Thanks serg..
He has already planned out the week, which means im in trouble..b/c that means alot of exercise is involved and that has been a real struggle for me the past couple of weeks..i go through phases ..that i love to do it then hate to do it..So..Sorry sergio but your in a hate phase haha..but with his help hopefully i'll get out of that phase and back to enjoying it! lets begin..

The Food Writing Down Meeting

OK..ok..i have to say i was a little nervous having to write down everything i ate this week (which i should do every week) just knowing melissa was going to check it..it made me want to do better! so..it wasnt bad at all,(meaning her looking at it) i did pretty well and she gave me some ideas and hints to keep me better on track...She also offered to walk with me before we meet for survivor every thursday...so im def. taking her up on that offer!!!!
But on a very serious note...thanks melissa for taking time to work with me and chat with me on this journey im taking..much love to you!

Good talk

Melissa Came over along with Lynn last night for survivor and b4 we started we had a chance to chat and it felt good, Melissa is such a person who is so determined and strong and i aim to be more like her especially in that area...thanks melissa for being a person i can look up to and a person who is willing to help others get there goals!
luv u

WEEK 13

This lovely lady is on for the week and she has been telling me to write everything thing down that i eat...she said even if its a food grab on the way past the counter..i should write everything down...this is tough, not so much the eating part but remembering to write it down, especially b/c this has been a crazy week..but i will get through with her help and prayers..thanks melissa for caring!

When i get hungry and i dont eat..i get a headache instantly and it happen today..and i took it all out on Eli. Then Molly comes with this devo on our words..and how we should be encouraging and I wasn't at all today! BUT...so many people were encouraging to me today and i need to take there example and go with it...

encouraging along the way.

im learning alot about people..through this journey..
and im learning alot about me..
i need to have things right with God...and that affects how
my workouts...my eating...and my day goes...
Molly is encouraging me to read the bible more too..
I do read but not everyday! I need to get in the word more!
thanks molly for today!

Cheryl...GRRR

"ok ok ok....ILL DO IT! ".....those are the words that usually come out of my mouth when cheryl calls me and says you ready to go...oh boy, today she took me as a guest to her gym and she worked me hard. Lets just say i just applied bengay to my legs...ouch!
but i got through it and its all good! i feel good inside!

Yesterday, Carol Trocchia came by and she gave such great advice and I feel even more energized by her words. She is getting me started and she gave me an exercise ball and dvd. I'm going to start that i believe tomorrow.

Eli has been away...and he is coming home tomorrow night....
please pray for us now ...b/c i have been starting this week of a new lifestyle without him. Now i have to focus on him too as well as my workouts and other things. Which he will be doing too..its hard for me to express what im feeling..just pray ...haha THANKS!

So far So good

Its been going really well so far...i now know how out of shape I am...but cheryl has been pushing me little by little and the first week is going good. THANKS CHERYL! i have had more people signed up for the 40 weeks and i have july and august filled!

*Another day down..and it was a great one!

First Day

Things went really well eating today..
Eli cooked me breakfast when I woke up and
I had Jessica's Graduation party..which Molly.. along with some
others had my back..it was great..
then dinner was nice and light..

complaints~ i have had two major headaches..one when i first woke up and one right now..ahhh
..also..when i was at the party and realized people read my blog..i was nervous to go get food and i had to hold back the tears...but by the end everything was good.

one day down...
thanks for everyones help

First Meltdown

It was an hour after I wrote the blog that contained info..i did not want to share..that i realized i shared it...and people are going to look at it..and what are they going to think...and how they going to act? im a crazy woman. why would i share such a deep inner thing with everyone..God, why am i doing this???????

then i was a little better, after talking at dinner with eli...its okay it will only get better from here...and i need all of you to get through this!!!! ugh its going to be a long journey...

going to bed now....so tomorrow ill write my weight..AHHHHHHH and measurements...
I CANT EVEN BELIEVE I'M DOING THAT..but i know if i write it...there is no choice accept to change it...so there..good night.

BEFORE PICTURES

This is it...

This is it..
This time it has to work. I have been over weight my whole life and I FINALLY cant take it anymore. I have come up with a plan with the help of Molly and Elizabeth Lee that can hopefully get me on track for the first time in my life. BUT....I need everyones help.
First off...I want to lose 80 pounds. Yes that is my goal.
This is the letter im going to give all of you!

There are times in our lives when we rely on our friends/family to give us support. I've come to one of these times right now where i'm right out telling you all I NEED help. I'm asking you to join me this year, (actually for 40 weeks) in helping me with my struggle with Weightloss.
I'm asking you to sponsor/Partnership me (no, not with money)but to encourage (pray,call, write,workout,etc.)me in getting to my goal weight (to be healthy)

How do you do this.....i am going to have a calendar and im asking you to choose a week(mon-sunday) out of the 40 that you can be in charge of encouraging me...in any way you can. I know you all have busy lives and i am just asking you for the best you can give..even if its a call everyday or every other day.. if its taking a walk with me...or sending me a note..if its giving me healthy recipe..or showing me how to cook something. Anything you can think of.

Why i am doing it this way..
I need someone to always be on me....otherwise i cheat or fail to fast..and eli(my huband) cant see me every moment...but this way i will be with at least one of you most of the time and when i'm in a place where i'm by myself or with others....I have "you" that week encouraging me and i wont want to let you down.

please help me...
This is me ...asking you all...from the bottom of my heart...This is not easy for me...I need all of you to help me..Dont let me get away with anything...

I will also be keeping this Blog to show you how im doing and how im feeling ...
Here we go...
