Day 52 at the gym...I am following my hero Kayla.
|

Going to Pure Fitness is working out great. Now I am practicing chewing each bite and having a sip of water after each bite. Also stopping half way through the meal for at least two minutes. Thank you borntocry for your suggestion of putting my daily in take here. I was writing it on a paper then adding the information to the fitday, but I will put it here, then add it to the fit day at the end of the day. 8AM 3/4 cup Meat, Rice, Vegetable casarole with lemon juice 150 calories 1 cup of Herb tea 0 A lot of chewing!!!!!!!!!

5:30 am I am going to enjoy my day..I just spent 10 minutes on my stationary bike. I felt real hunger..I found some leftovers from a take out sooo..I have a little bowl that is about 1/2 cup so I filled it and ate the food and enjoyed it. Now I have my bottle of water and I am now out typing this. I feel tired but I had plenty of sleep, but I have been on the go the last two weeks and my house looks like it. I want to spend the day at home working on the house work...I decided not to work on Sundays any more. I talked with my boss and she said that was fine with her. Retirment does have some perks..I just read some enteries and tried to encourage...Now I think I will go soak in the tub and read......have a great day...

Hi MaryannG,
Thanks for the comment you left me. I am not really that thin, by the way, just very short so I don't weigh that much. I could give you a list of everything I eat in one day - in fact I did it in my entry today - but I don't know how much it would help you as I'm vegetarian so my diet is probably very different from yours. It might be more helpful for you to list everything you eat and then people could comment on what changes you could make. It looks like you are doing quite well, though.
Personally I eat quite a bit but I get a lot of exercise from living in a European city - I have to walk around a lot and climb lots of stairs, often while carrying heavy groceries. I think that helps a lot. I have also got a stationary bike, like you, and I try to get about twenty minutes on that every couple of days. I read somewhere that you have to exercise for at least twenty minutes at a time to get good results.
I think the most important thing, though, is motivation and you seem to have that. Good luck!

It is early and I am the only one up and the gym does not open until 7am. I am listening to my Joyce Meyer tape and getting motivated. I do not want to live by my feeling. Because I am feeling so fat...

I just read Kayla's enteries...They keep me going..I was gone from Saturday morning till Monday evening... So I did not get to the gym, but I did carry my youngest grandson around. I did walk up and down alot of stairs at my sons house... so I did get in some exercise...I love my gym... Most everyone I see are real looking people and in real work out clothes....sweats and t-shirts. Not the model junk. I am waiting for my grand-daughter to take her shower then we are going for a walk together in the fresh air. I love that her and her mom live with us... It really is a second chance for me. My daughter is this amazing woman, that gave up her childhood trying to take care of me, Boy, did we have things backward in our family... The children taking care of the parents while they were still children. I am so grateful for this second chance. We are learning so many thing... That we are girls! what a wonderful revelation. But still kind of strange. It really is interesting seeing where I was deceived and where there was a twist in my thinking and how addictions took over....Very interesting.......But I can change...

I have had severe housekeeping problems but I have a lot of help getting better. One person that has helped me a great deal is FlyLady. She is at flylady.net. She is wonderful and can teach you a great way to declutter your home. It's Super Fling Boogie month and that's why I'm getting rid of so much now. I collect it, box or bag it up, weigh it, take it out, and post how many pounds I have removed from my house. The goal is 2.7 million pounds from houses everywhere.

Today is my daughters birthday....I am learning about that inner voice...I really want to listen and be in tune...I have spent so much time hearing the bullies...I know eating to every emotion or eating until I hurt is listening to the wrong voice.. I am learning about codependent and I have spent so much time jumping through hoops that I really wonder if I know how to think for myself. I thought if I typed I could figure out what is going on inside me ..Like having a therapist...I am always cleaning somewhere trying to put things in order so I won't fall apart...I'm not doing that so much anymore or at such a frantic rate. My granddaughter just came out to find tape to wrap a gift we purchased for her Mom. I am letting her do the breakfast and the wrapping. I am just sitting out here typingTime to go this has all changed. Thank you Kaka for your comments...We have come so far......I want to start listening to that inner voice that has me stopping with small amounts and really getting in touch with my feelings and who I am. That sounds so female and weak but I am a female.....I am a female I am a female......I did spend 35 min on the treadmill and used the incline. I am going to go take a nap. The heck with cleaning....

Mom
I could not love you more!
Sometimes looking ahead at all the baby steps before us seems unsermountable... but ever so often we need to turn around and look at where we have come from... turn around mom and look with me... before us is a gentle incline that we will slowly skip up... but where we have come from was so alful, frough with dark storms and evil villians pot holes and visious attacks from ever side... sometimes in times of peace, and vigilence a warrior seems lost and out of place... although this is not the time to stop and rest ... it is time to enjoy the JOY! I love you and I am so glad we are fighting on the same team! Happy Birthing day!
Love -Kayla

I am not hungery (real food hunger) I decided to check in here and read and type. The feeling is not so strong right now...I have had one bottle of water and I am starting my second. I have had my spiritual reading now I want to encourage everyone out there to have a great. day. OK it is time to go to the gym.....

I did make it to the gym....I am deciding what to do for the day. I know I've got to catch up on house work and yard work...But I think I am going to go to the park first and take my 12 step Bible and have some time with Gods word. Then I will be ready for another amazing day. A trip to the gym ....Then I will be ready for the work.

Sounds like you've got a nice day planned!...and good to go on having gone to the gymn!
(We) can do all things through Jesus Christ which strengthens us! Amen!
I've had a couple of 'pen pal friends' up toward your way of the country. We're almost diagonally at opposite ends of the country, btw. Close, anyway to it, haha. One pen pal friend and I even communicated 'snail' mail a while, sending cards and little gifts sometimes. But, she got busy babysitting and I went to work for a while and our communication sort of just fizzled out...and the other one was on here and we just communicated on here but she left the site and I didn't have a way to communicate with her anymore. One lived in Canada, just up above Washington and the latter lived in Oregon...I guess that's the way it goes, though. Yes, it is very important that we take the time to study God's Word...Spiritual food! Have a nice day!

This was day 7 at the gym and I just dropped my granddaughter off at the Y. Through God I shall do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down my enemies. Ps6012. I have got to encourage myself with the word. They will fight against me, but they shall not prevail against mel For the Lord is with me to deliver me. The Lord has made me rejoice over my enemies...When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

Today is day 6 at the gym...I have learned a truth in my Christian walk that is so amazing. I am loved by God. I do not have to work to earn His love. I have been so deceived for so many years and I have jumped through so many hoops with terrible tragic results. I hear my daughter coming I will write more later. Because I want to visit with her.

Comment left by kayla on 05/13/2004:
I know your daughter really wants to visit with you! Mom I so enjoy our time in the mornings...I am so very blessed to have you in my corner! I really do hope I can also be in your corner as you need it!-Kayla

I went to my daughters gym with her yesterday. We did that instead of having coffee for mothers day. We walked the treadmill together. It was amazing. She is the most fantastic woman. She has had to overcome some real tragic things in her life..and she makes lemonaid out of those lemons. What a great woman she is. This gym is a really great place. It is by our home and is open all the time. I felt like a new woman after that walking. I really want to work out a plan for me. I thought I'd get the weeks pass and if I do it for the week get me a membership. We will see. Hope you are all doing great. This is such a great idea. A place where you can sort out your thoughts. May God bless each of you.

I am going to figure this out yet. I just typed in the comments section. But it helped me to figure out some thing.

I am just trying to work through some feeling. I have my stepdaughters coming this morning. My daughter was treated like cinderella. It was an evil time when they were growing up. I know a lot of what went on was because of my people pleasing. It has caused me so much misery especially for my children especially my daughter. Of course the best way to hurt a person is to hurt their children. My daughter and I are learning so much and trying to work through so much. We are very amazing woman. I am so tired of jumping through hoops. I like sitting in her typng instead of numbing them with food.

I can't figure out how to get into my account so I will just write in this comment. I woke up really early and I wanted to tell Kala how wonderful and inspiring she is. I woke so early because I went to bed so early. I just read Kalas comments and it is true. I will explore more of what I fear about being thin. Will I be a true faithful person. I am listening to Joyce. I am a great woman I have the Holy Spirit living in me. I have bought into so many lies. I will believe that I am an amazing woman thin or fat and I am tired of carrying around all these lies. I am tired of being a people pleaser. Being pulled through hoops. I really enjoyed my time at the gym with my daughter. It is so wonderful not trying to get people to do things not having to save anyone. I guess I will go lay down and listen to Joyce.

I choose not to care what other people think. How freeing that is. I am getting ready to pray with Joyce Meyer. We just prayed to be free from the fear of man. I am free......I had such an amazing time. I went to the gym instead of cleaning my house to impress my step kids. Wow it was freeing I had a great time with my daughter. I did not try to make them get along. I picked up my granddaughter and took her to her Mom when she was ready to go. When I got home I just sat and let my stepdaughters bring the food and cook and wait on me. Wow was that different. They even gave me flowers and a card. That was a first. My daughter came home and cooked us some artichock and I still just sat. This was really great. Just dawned on me another first my daughter never felt free to just cook in her own kitchen because of the selfishness of her stepfather. So this was really another step. Wow how amazing. Now I know what the strain was When Laura said boy I can feel tension. Now I know what that was we were about to take another step. That will give us something to explore over coffee this morning.

Here it is a new day. I am so excited about some of the things I am learning.

Here it is the end of the day. I just took my basketball out for a walk. I seem to breath harder when bouncing it when walking. It just feels great to express myself writing. I do wish there was a spell check on here. I am sure we give each other lots of mercy.

My daughter found this site. Our family has had this curse on it and I found that it could be broken in Christ. So I want to be able to share my emotions as I go through the healing process and record my victories as I get healther and healther. This is my forth day of my exercise routine. What is so exciting is that my daughter and granddaughter are both going to the gym. I have found great pleasure in jogging with my basketball and shooting some hoops. I live next to a school so it is now my workout area. I am a morning person so I get out ther about 545am it is now light then so it is great. My friend has a food plan I was trying to follow with her but it is to restrictive but I do like the scheduled time and amount of calories. I also like that we are working at being accountable to each other.
