Getting Determined!

We are 21 days into January and I still don't feel in the grove of living healthy. I have hit that wall were all you want to do is give up, but that is the exact point where you should push through. Nothing in life worth doing is easy. I have changed the way I grocery shop, removed the junk food from my home and even eat breakfast now. Yet I have realized up until now my heart really has not been in it. I have just been going through the motions without really wanting to be healthy. So today I have made the decision I am going to do this no matter how hard it may be! So here we go...

Mid January Blues!

Starting well is not ending well. I don't remember where I first heard that, but it applies to every area of life. Including weight loss! I got off to a rocky start... actually lost a few pounds in the beginning, but as the month progressed, I let stress get to me. Stress demands Little Debbie (really cheap snack cakes). And stress doesn't give up it's Little Debbies easily.

The diet commercials make it sound easy, but some point, old fashioned white knuckle will power has to step in.

So I am hanging on, determined t overcome the siren call of the donuts and 99 cent double cheeseburgers. I can do this. But dear Lord, I need your help!

Well, it's now day #8. I did survive the chocolate crisis and I'm trying to make good eating choses. Because of my ankle surgery, I'm not back into running and probably won't be for some time. So, I'm finding a replacement and will try walking and using a stationary bike. Good news, even without the exercise I've lost 2 pounds. YEAH!! 10-12 pounds to go. BUT, I'm SO impatient!! Linda

Starting the Journey!

Hi! My name is Colleen and I am the youngest member of the Spirit FM team. My life has changed a lot in the last year and so has my diet. I graduated from college in May and started at Spirit FM right after that. I also got married to a wonderful man who can eat whatever he wants and NEVER gain a pound:>) So little by little I have left my healthy lifestyle behind and was shocked when I stepped on the scale at the doctors office the other day! YIKES! So I am now starting the journey again and trying to make better life choices so that I can once again be healthy. I want to lose at least the 15 pounds I have gained recently but mostly I want to be a healthier me:>) Also over Christmas my sister received a really cool book called "Eat This, Not That" it was so eye opening. Did you know that an McDonald Egg McMuffin is less fatten then a blueberry muffin, click here to check it out for yourself!
