Hello, it's been a while..... I feel I need to introduce myself again! ;-) Sorry, I have been doing some traveling for work and some things have been thrown on the plate that had to be dealt with and unfortunately the blogging was on the back burner! I'm hoping life will settle down! I hope in the mean time everyone has been doing better than I have.
I send quotes to a friend and he sends them to the high school basketball players that he helps during the summer and I sent this quote to him to send the girls....then I got to thinking how true this quote is! I mean instead of game (which I think life is a game) you could put ANYTHING in there...... It is always going to be true. If you have the wrong mindset you are going to fail, if you have the right one you will succeed, that is just the way it is. And this week against poplular belief to the week that I have had I am back to tracking....and yes I tracked my 28 points plus blizzard..... YEP you read that right TWENTY EIGHT POINTS PLUS!!! :-( Wasn't proud, but I wanted it and I ate it so I tracked it!
So my challenge for this week is that I track everything and let my mind stay in the mind set that if I track, I can stay on plan. That way when I stay on plan I stay on track and I stay successful! I agree, this life style change will be ALL MENTAL! ;-)
Have a great day!

Worry is a misuse of imagination. - Dan Zadra
Well, I had to go for the motivational quote of the day...... I just couldn't find my own motivation for some reason!!!!
As I sit here eating lunch (no I won't tell you what I'm eating, you shall keep reading and find out why) trying to sum up and find some motivation to share, but again one of those days....I'm beginning to think it's just the MONTH! I finally went to the specialist for my broken toe that I broke doing the Turkey Run (yes it was thanksgiving and yes I will do the math EIGHT MONTHS ago) and he had me in a "special shoe"....well we all know it wasn't special and it wasn't cute! I had no special powers, no special tricks so there was NOTHING special about it! I still don't understand why it's called a "special shoe".... the only thing it did was make my shins hurt (aka yes, I got my shin splints back!) as well as make my ankle swell and my foot swell....we won't go there with shoot pain in my toe! :-( So I called and he thought I was in the boot not the shoe, so i went back in today and now I have THE BOOT! Well, the verdict on this one is still up in the air. It hurts my toe a lot more but he hopes it will help with the shin splints and the swelling..... HELLO it's the BROKEN TOE I'm worried about!!!!! PLUS, I go to Chicago on Wednesday so you all know that means a lot of walking! Plus I used to live there so lots more to see all my friends while I'm not in the conference and stuffing my face on the good eats that they will be serving.... guess I better pack something healthy!!
But anyway.... back to the point of this blog..... I think it's back to the basics for me. The plan works, and I know it does....how else could I have lost the 60 pounds? I mean I know how to make it work, track, activity (well...maybe not just yet) and better decisions! The plan is easy to follow and I'm allowed what I want why can't I learn self control and moderation!??? That is the key to losing weight period! It's about NOT finishing your plate if you are full.....NOT going after that second donut if you are still hungry..... NOT putting the extra toppings on FAT FREE yogurt! I can do this... I have done this.... I will get back on. Not tomorrow either! Today.... NOW!
I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope your "MONTH" is better than me..... :-)

No Title..........I'm just here....where are you?
As I have been going through my week, which went really quick for some reason, I kept saying I have to blog, I have to blog... I HAVE TO BLOG. But nothing really jumped out at me this week as far as ONE thought or ONE idea. If your week was anything like mine you would understand. I mean seriously. I think I did everything this week, but what I should have done.....I'm going to go to weight watchers tomorrow and you know what...I'm going to step on the scale and I expect a gain.... why you say.... well I honestly didn't do anything to accomplish my weight lose goal for the week. I mean seriously NOTHING. I was aware of what I was eating, and I never really finished my plate and I only ate out TWICE (so that is good in of it's self).
But the week has been crazy. I still can't figure out why I don't have Internet at home.... I am working on a playbook for my traveling basketball team, I'm trying to spend time with my dog that feels neglected and unloved (per the vet!), I'm working, coaching TBall, and I think that MIGHT be all...but I'm sure I'm forgetting something....oh yeah, I babysat my 2 younger nephews.... and you know I love them, but really kids aren't for me, let alone I could NOT be a single parent (I now have a greater love for you if you are!).
But anyway..... I wanted to accomplish good things this week, I wanted to set my goals and get back on the wagon..... guess what I didn't do? Yep, I set myself up for failure! I think it's time to clean the fridge and cabinets and go back to the basics. I need to relearn what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.... I was talking to a friend and she is having the same issues and I was thinking WOW... I lost a lot of weight in a year and I really can't lose sight of that, but why was I successful back then and why am I not now? What is different? (well that is an easy answer STRESS!!!) How do I get back to where I was when I was losing the weight and when I was successful? Well, I think it's time to journal every night....set weekly goals, and TRACK. I had the life in Maryland, okay maybe I really didn't....but I lost the weight! I would get up and walk on my treadmill, make breakfast, go to work, come home, make supper, and watch TV and go to bed. If you are following me that is NOT what I do today. I don't even know where I live anymore (I guess that is why my dog feels unloved too...... ) See it's all coming together now! How does a busy person stay focused when you are in EVERYTHING (oh yeah, I joined a new club that eats out once a month too!) and love doing everything you are doing. Yes, I know I am tooo busy and yes I know I need to learn to say no, but when you are passionate about what you do, how can you say no?
I want to know what everyone else does.... I need help..... email me (kimc1907@gmail.com ) on how you juggle your life... I really want to know, I am reaching out for help!
I hope you all have a safe weekend and promise I will blog more...that shall be on my list of things that doesn't get cut! ;-)
