Friday, May 10 2002 I’m
sorry I haven’t posted in so long, my computer broke down and I don’t know if
I’ll be able to salvage my files. If I can’t continue my journal in this same
format I will start posting somewhere else and let you all know that my site
has been redirected. I
hope I’ll have everything ready and settled by next week. I’m
still exercising and doing really good with my eating. My pc broke down, not
me :) Thanks
to all who have emailed me asking what’s up. I’ll let you know what’s going
to happen with this site. I’ll
be back soon :)
Friday, May 3 2002 Wohoo
!!! It’s Friday ! Since my husband and I work together, live together and are
basically in each others face 24/7 :) on Friday’s we take a “little time
out”, sometimes I’ll go out with my friends or he’ll go out with his but
tonight I have a plan ! I’m going to be doing some serious web surfing this
evening ! This could sound absolutely dull to some of you but believe me I
have little to no time on the net, I’ve gotten behind on all the journals I
follow and I’ve been wanting to do some research on some weight loss
questions I have. To me this is a really fun evening ! Oh God, my life sounds
sort of pathetic, but I’m going to have a blast :) On
the weight loss front, I’m thrilled ! For the past few years (because of time
and convenience) my husband and I have been eating out, we used to go to this
little restaurant owned by an older couple where they had delicious home
cooked meals. About a month ago they turned over the management of their
restaurant to there nephews who don’t know what they’re doing, the cooking
has gotten horrible and the service has gotten worst. My
husband and I were in a dilemma, how were we going to get our daily food? The
obvious option would be that I cook but there is just no time to do it, not
everyday anyway, so, we were pondering our options and suddenly out of
nowhere they opened up a new restaurant, right next door to the other one, a
vegetarian restaurant, healthy, non-greasy, all sorts of vegetables food. I
decided to give it a try yesterday, the food was delicious, let’s see if I
remember the menu, carrot cream (soup), rice w/veggies, spinach soufflé
(breaded), a salad made of whatever you wanted in there (big one). For
dessert a cup of rice pudding and the water was made with watermelon. By
the time I got through eating I felt like I was going to roll out of the
restaurant, really full. But in the evening I felt great, really light, not a
bit hungry, just fantastic, I guess this means my meal problems are solved ! Today
for my exercise I’m doing “The Firm”-Standing Legs, which always manages to
kick my butt and at the same time is becoming my favorite exercise video. I’m
really hoping that changing my diet into a more healthier one and exercising
like I do there will be some significant change by the end of the month,
maybe this is what I need to break my plateau. I
hope everyone of you has a great weekend !
Thursday, May 2 2002 Sunny.
That’s exactly how I feel. Yesterday was a holiday for us and we decided to
go to the beach, I had a blast. It had really been a long time since I let go
and just had fun, like a little kid. Of course I got burnt horribly and I was
very soar but there was no way you could take the grin off my face. So
here it is, the beginning of a new month, a whole new opportunity to make
things different. Will I accomplish my dreams ? Will there be any change in
me? I’m hoping that the answer to all those questions is YES !!! And changes
for the better of course. I feel positive and hopefully things will start
shaping up. April was a very hard month for me (it always is) and I think I
came out a bit stronger and more prepared for whatever the future has in
store for me. Hopefully all the doubts and fears I had last month will
disappear and a new and more positive energy will take over my outlook on
life. Sometimes
change is hard, we tend to cling to the things we know even if they’re not that
good for us, just because it’s what we know. It takes a while for us to
really focus and understand that sometimes, in order for change to happen
something has to go from our life. And the pain sometimes is overwhelming,
more than pain, fear I think. But all of that is gone now, I feel it. I’m not
afraid of who I can be anymore, I know that change lives within me and
whoever this new person that I’m becoming turns out to be I’ll cherish her
and love her all the way.
