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
