Losing my other half....
My daily activities towards my new and improved self...

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **
I pledge to walk/bike a thousand miles to a new and improved body.
I love my body all 270 pounds of it.
I have not been respecting my body and today that changes.
I know what I have to do.
I know how hard it is going to be.
I know the pain will try to stop me.
I know I am stronger than the pain.
I know I will be on an emotional rollercoaster.
I know I will revisit past hurts, I know I am strong enough.
I know I will succed.

Follow me on my journey, join me if you will.

86.  day eight...ID #669299 
Posted: 9-25-2009 @ 10:26 pm EDT 

i did nothing....yesterday....and almost did nothing today....but instead....i did the ball workout....i am not allowed more than one day off.....and the thing is....i don't really need to take that one off...but i do...i can only let my pain go so far and i have to stop....for at least a day.....having fibromyalgia sucks ass...but i will not let it stop me from loosing my other half...cause i know if i can loose the weight i gained the pain will still be there but i won't have the extra weight....so i move on.....and work through the pain....ho hum......

85.  day sevenID #669029 
Posted: 9-23-2009 @ 11:24 pm EDT 

the man joined me for a bit of my walk..it's been awhile since he has gone with me....i prefer to walk with him, but he hasn't been feeling well, nor has he had an interest in walking...so it was fun to have him and bones with me....i will pray that he joins me again...
my body hurts...my body always hurts...i a hoping that the walks and stuff will help ease the pain....if not that's okay...being out in the sun and fresh air feels good...and when i get to the top of the hill i raise my fist and say my life depends on it.....so yes...i have to do this to keep my sanity and to make my body feel better...i know i can heal this if i just do the work and think happy thoughts....

79.  two for tuesday...ID #652823 
Posted: 6-2-2009 @ 7:36 pm EDT 

so we walked on sunday...an entire mile....whoopie....but at least we got out the door....we took yesterday off, even though we didn't have to go into town, we figured we had already planned for it so why not.....i know it's only been two full weeks, but i feel lighter already...i swear i am shrinking...probably lost about a half a pound...but my tight clothes aren't as tight....and todays walk felt really good...i like that i am out getting fresh air....that the sun is melting my toxins away.....pooping out the nasty fat is so gross but hey at least it is going and not sitting around making me feel like i am full of shit...lmao...

35 miles down and 965 to go....

78.  saturday is just alright....ID #652345 
Posted: 5-30-2009 @ 1:16 pm EDT 

we took yesterday off, and did a whole lot of catching up with housework....we have to go out on the town on monday and we don't like to take two days off in a row....it hurts too much and makes it hard to start back....so my heels aren't hurting as much today, but my lower back wants to cramp and not work well....that's what i get for cleaning my floors....but anyway....i had double stuff oreo cookies for breakfast....we buy a sleeve once in a while and share it.....way better than my old self who would buy two regular packages and we each got our own....pretty scary...but six cookies is way better than three dozen....

31 miles down and 969 to go....

Edited: 5-28-2009 @ 7:10 pm EDT 

you can't make me go...i don't want to....i felt like throwing a tantrum today...i did, but i than got over myself and got ready and headed out the door. it hurt like hell on my heals, i had some problems with my feet 15 years ago and now i am feeling the after effects for not listening to the physical therapist and wearing the leg braces longer. ouch ouch...walking hurts...i am looking forward to getting both our bikes fixed and being able to start riding instead of walking, though that will bring on different pain...mostly in my wrists and elbows....yeah long story...any way i did what i intended and that was get my fat ass out the door....i am glad i did, cause emotionally i feel good for doing so....took a couple of pictures along the way and watered the sage....

75.  three for tuesdayID #651749 
Posted: 5-26-2009 @ 7:38 pm EDT 

i was so tired after my walk , that i got on my bike and rode to the store for a hershey bar....yup.....i was craving chocolate...and i have come to learn that rather than fight that craving, get it over with or it just drives you bonkers...no use denying myself, cause than i just give up.....waiting for the energy to resurface, i know that eventually i won't feel so tired from walking....but at least at this point i am addicted to walking...i make myself wake up early in the morning like i have a job to go to....that could be why i am tired too....but i am getting like 9 to 10 hours of sleep....early to bed early to rise....

74.  mondays are fun...ID #651551 
Posted: 5-25-2009 @ 12:56 pm EDT 

especially when you give yourself sunday off....so we did six days in a row last week and about died sunday morning....slept in and just lazed around the house. got up bright and early this morning and headed out the door.. first day back is always a slow star, but we didn't let it keep us from our goal. we did our three miles...yea...

fighting off your bodies toxins is like having a bad flu.....when you don't do much excercise for long periods than get moving...all the fat and crap in your body starts flowing out of you body, eeeeeeeewwwwww.....so on top of dealing with the normal pain, i also have this sick feeling....the more i walk and eat right the less i will feel like this...but i have at least another month of this yucky feeling....well thats how long it lasted seven years ago when i first started this walking and eating right gig....but i know that if i don't give up....this time....i can loose that hundred pounds i gained back after loosing it ....silly me.....

Posted: 2-2-2009 @ 1:14 pm EST 


I forgot to make an entry on saturday. Well that's okay. I know I went and that's what matters.
Took yesterday off, and I feel no guilt. I pigged out on saturday night and I feel okay about it. I had a treat that I don't usually allow myself, I went out to dinner....baby back ribs, yes....they were worth the walk I had done that morning as well as the fact that I know I won't be going out again for at least another year....

69.  tired of excuses..ID #632975 
Posted: 1-30-2009 @ 5:11 pm EST 

So I had a heart to heart with man, and we got out the door and did our walk. Yes, I know I should really be concentrating on me. However, his health is at risk too, if he doesn't get out for a walk. I told him how I felt about not going and all our excuses and that we need to knock off. This is bullshit. So we got dressed got up and hit diagonhilly. YES! I also rode my bike to the store for a soda...it's friday...I like soda on friday.. I know soda bad for diet...soda good for brain....
