Tues - Sarah

Hello everyone.....Sorry that I have not been blogging.  No excuses but I have been sicker than a dog for 3 days......Today was the first day that I was able to hold anything down.  Thankfully I didn't land myself in the hospital....NOT FUN!  I am hoping to make it to class tomorrow.....mostly out of curiosity for what my weight is.  Can't imagine what I could have lost but I am sure I did...Not that I was trying OR that being sick is the way to do it.  Hoping that tomorrow is even better than today and that I get to come see all of your smiling faces....Looking forward to a restart to the week!
Good night,
Sarah

Blog 6/15

Good Morning,

I know that I missed my blog yesterday but I met my other three goals. 1. Drank my gallon of water. 2. Tracked everything and 3. Made it to boot camp :) 

Yeah!

Thursday 6/14 - Kelly

Good Morning :)

I love that we are doing vision boards during this advanced class session.  In the past nine months I left a job, friends, a city and lifestyle I had fallen in love with to move 3000 miles back home to my family, a new job, and an engagement with one of my oldest and dearest friends.  It's been quite a whirlwind and I'm coming to terms with the fact that it's how I live - I make spontaneous crazy decisions without a clear goal and, not surprisingly, without clear results. With all of these big changes, I'm excited to document them and concentrate on setting goals.  I have some small ones for right now: rehab my knee with Pearla, pump up the guns and beat my fiance at arm wrestling, figure out a wedding venue by the end of summer, but where do I see myself in two years?  Five years?  I never really think that far ahead.  I've decided to start small and set a goal for two years from now, my 30th birthday.  By next Wednesday's class, I will have a two year goal to which I am going to be faithful and have a plan to document my progress so I am held accountable.  

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday!

Wed 6/13 - Sarah

Brittany, Kelly and Pearla....It is so nice to just sit and talk about whatever comes up on Wednesday nights.  Thank you ladies!  Brittany, I just read your last blog....keep your chin up!  Thank you for being honest about the challenges you face, you are right, we ALL face them!  It is nice to know that I am not the only one who struggles from one day to the next.  But like we said tonight...you can't move backward and fix "mistakes"....you have to move forward and just do better the next time.

Kelly - I didn't forget about helping you tape your knee.....I just didn't think to talk to you about it tonight!  

Anywhoosie~  Starting tonight we all have a fresh start to next week.....one day at a time:)

Time for bed....Good luck tomorrow everyone!

Monday - Sarah

Happy Monday....a fair week so far.  Muffins made...need to make protien bars tomorrow/or next day.  Successful grocery trip today, I am excited for some grapefruit tomorrow:)  But the highlight of the day...personally, is the little pick me up I just got from Pearla when I checked my email....THANK YOU PEARLA!  Most days are very rewarding, but some you just try to survive, to reset the clock for the next day.....the last couple of days have felt like that for me.  Just that little reminder that someone else is thinking about you with a little uplifting message can totally refocus your head.  So for that, Thank You Pearla.....Love ya!
Looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday!

Blog 6/1

Hello,

What a wonderful way to bring in June. After having a lot of success with Eating Clean for twelve weeks I followed this success with a little rut. I started into some old habits and I realized that I was having my old mood swings and irritability. I heard one time that "Nothing tastes better than feeling healthy" and I truly believe that. I know that I am not going to make perfect choices pertaining to eating all of the time but I do know that when I do make the right choices I feel 100% better. It is funny, I was not going to take nutrition this time because of my small hiccup and now I feel like it was the best decision I ever made. I bit the bullet, stepped on the scale (but I didn't look) and got right back to the program. The funny thing is it only takes one day for my feelings to change. I have been trying to pinpoint which days I was having the most success and those were the days when I ate a large lunch (6 oz protein, sweet potato, and green veg). This left me somewhat satisfied the rest of the day. I also realized that I had started lessening my water intake. When I drink all of my water I also do not feel hungry. So with all that said I have had 2 successful days, headed into the weekend. Happy Birthday to Henry and Kelly! Remember you said only 1 case. Sarah you are doing awesome. It is so nice to see you every week and you are going to feel amazing come September. Pearla and Johnny thank you too!

PS. I did not write this to pat myself on the back for 2 good days, I wrote this to let people know that there is someone and many people who know what it is like to lose a little control and it is OK. It is embarrassing to slip up and face the scale (or let Pearla look and you just say tell me next week.) but we have all been there. The best thing is going back. It is great going in week after week and having the losses the true test is getting back on when you feel like you have failed. I am not disciplined enough yet to do it alone but I don't need to. That is what the PJ& K community is for. To the beginners it is a hard first couple of weeks and I faithfully looked on this page to see that others were blogging about.
