okay so I weighed today and found out I'm 217.2 I'm excited I reached my goal, but was hoping it would be a little sooner. oh well. I'm going to post some before pictures as well. I've decided to also most my weigh in weight here every Monday. next week goal. 216.2

So I'm still here!! I've been working out, and eating pretty well. I have hit a wall though. I can't seem to get past 219.0? I think this happens to me every time I start to live well! Not necessarily at 219.0 lbs, but just hitting a wall, a turning point you might say. This time I'm not going to stop! I'm going to get over this hump, and any other hump that comes my way!! I can do this! I want to do this! I need to do this! I BELIEVE I can do this! My goal for this week is 217.2 lbs I will use myfitnesspal, and reach my water goals (at least 8 glasses a day), and extend my workouts to at least 45 min. to an hour. No one is reading this blog! Just me! But it's a place I can vent and review old goals, and make new ones. I hope to lose 10 lbs in the next 4 weeks. "Rome wasn't built in a day! and neither was my body" It's hard to remember this when you want to see instant changes. I will remember that "slow and steady wins the race".

Week Four

So I'm at the beginning of my fourth week. of my 90 day segment. I can't believe I've made it this far. I've had some down times, but I'm really excited for this week. I've set some new goals and started a myfitnesspal account so I can track my food. this will help me reach my goals even further. I can do this.

The Contract with Myself

I Angie, commit to stating my Body-for-Life on Dec 31st. Completing this 12-week Weight Removal Segment on April 1st. I believe that I can accept and complete my Challenge to the best of my ability. I realize this is work and accept the self-care price I must pay to achieve my mental and physical transformation. I commit to keeping my daily blog journal. I will practice the 10 Power Mind Principles to help me stay the course. I will expect and adapt to adversity and embrace tough times as learning opportunities. I will strive to take action and not to ruminate, moan, or whine. I commit to pursuing progress, not perfection, in my eating and training. I will find joy to neutralize my stress, take my Mini Chills, and strive to become a master regrouper. I will be self-assertive and fight for the right to take care of myself. I will acknowledge and reward myself for my achievements along the way. By completing the Challenge, I signify honor and respect for myself, and affirm that I deserve health, happiness, and joy. -Angie Powell

I love you guys!!

Hey awesome women aka Mom, Karen,Angie, Michelle and I guess myself. Mom I am so proud of you and always have been, you are an amazing woman who has come through so many trials and turned out the better. I look up to you and know you can do whatever you want!!! Karen you are amazing because no matter what you will go running and you LOVE it!!! AH!!!! I wish I could be like that. Angie you are amazing because you never give up and you always keep trying. You are going to be running and walking in no time!! Michelle is amazing because she always makes time to take care of herself, which all of us forget to do. I am amazing because I have amazing sisters who are the best examples to me in the world. IF only I could be more like them, I am amazing though really because I try to not give up ha ha ha see I can't even be nice to myself. :) well I would like to say I never give up but I have but my redeeming quality is that if I did give up I try again later.

So now I'm pregy again and eating way more then I should and using the pregy excuse. At first it really is just like a coping mechanism but now I know I could lay off some of the bad stuff. I really don't want to gain 40 pounds again. I want to be active during the summer.
Goal one:
I want to go biking with Aubrey, I need to get one of those trailers though.
Goal Two:
I want to go swimming with Aubrey and our neighbors at Connie's home. (And anywhere else like with cousins :)
Goal Three:
I want to have a positive attitude about being FAT during summer :)
I love you ladies and like I said yes I have not been the best at this but I'm still trying.
Love you
oh ps MOM love the picture you're so adorable.

Aaaaagh!!!! Six weeks, until Michelle's wedding. I've decided to use this timeline as a personal deadline for 20 lbs. I know I can do this. I'm going to be busy doing things, so it will keep me occupied. Carrots will be my best friend.
I'm feeling very excited!!
"Remember the white knuckle grip" I can do this.
To that "Fighting Spirit!!"
