A New Beginning
I am officially re-starting my weightloss program today. Pray for me and don't let me fall off again! I lost 40 pounds in 3 months and now I've been at the same weight for 3 months... Now it's time to get that last 40 pounds off! I can still make my June 1st goal if I stick to it!

Back On Track! Come to a TSFL seminar!
Remember that weight-loss seminar I invited you to last month? Well, the company that I'm involved with is having a fantastic free seminar at the end of this month which will be a hundred times better and more informative than anything I could have put together. It is Friday, Jan 29 - Saturday Jan 30. Friday night there is an overview of the weight-loss program I've been doing, and an overview of the health coach business opportunity for people who want to help others get healthy. Saturday will be training for those who want to become health coaches and will include a free lunch. The whole seminar is free and very informative if you are interested in going with me to find out more. It is definitely a no-pressure environment, so you can just come and enjoy the information. Let me know what you think and if you'd like to go!
As for me, first week "back" on the program and I lost the 3 pounds I gained over the holidays! Woo Hoo! Back on track and feeling good!!! 120, here I come (again!).

A New Year, A New Me!
Just wanted to check in since it has been SO long since I posted anything...
The holidays were not good for me. I pretty much abandoned the program for 3 entire weeks and went a bit crazy -- eating basically anything I wanted, and unfortunately, I wanted a lot! With all of the holiday goodies in the house, it wasn't a pretty sight. We also had 2 birthdays in our home (and so, 2 birthday cakes) over the last couple of weeks, and I gave in (and after not having a cake on MY own birthday, that really stinks!!) . The good news is, even though I was eating a lot of the wrong things, I did stick to my portion control, and kept things small, so the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Bottom line, since we last spoke in November, I have gained 3 pounds. I'm back up to 179. UGH! Total weight loss is only 36 pounds. I should be at 50 by now!!! My own fault. No one to blame but me... and maybe Santa's little goody elves...
But, I have learned some great lessons since I began this journey in August. The most important one is that this is really more of a spiritual battle than a physical one. I have to be able to approach it as such, and that is exactly what I intend to do this year. No more giving in to the weaknesses of the flesh. If I allow my physical desire for food to control me, I am allowing my flesh to overcome my spirit. I know that is a battle that my Heavenly Father does not want me to lose. I also know that with His help, I WILL win.
I am back on the program 100% now. I know from my fantastic experience from August to November, that I CAN do this. It's a new year, and it is going to be a new me!!! Anyone out there want to join me? Now is the time!!! Let's do it together!
PS - My mom-in-law was much more diligent than I was during the holidays, and she has caught up with me! She started 8 weeks ago, and has already lost 35 pounds! She did make a conscious choice to have a few goodies over Christmas too, but she was smart and still stuck to the program 99% of the time, unlike her coach! Way to go Mom!!!
