My Sister, my angel.....

My Eldest Sister, Virginia. She has been telling me and telling me to go on Weight Watchers with her. I tell her, "no its to complicated, I don't want to count, I don't want to buy all the food" as she would say, "blah blah blah, all your excuses." She has lost 50 pounds. So today I told her about the new job. She was so happy. She told me."now you can pack Weight Watcher lunches to have at work" and of course I go on and on with my excuses. So this after noon she tells me in a text,"text me the kinds of fruit, veggies, meat, milk that you like and I will try to come up with a menu for you." So I did I figure lets see maybe she will come up with something interesting! So tonight I get a call from her she asks me," what are you doing? I am thinking to go down to Marshalls by your house and I thought we could go eat at Chick Fil A for dinner." I didn't have plans and hadn't eaten dinner yet so I said, "sure." When she and my Niece arrived their arms were FULL of grocery bags! My Sister bought me everything I needed to start Weight Watcher's! I was shocked, still am shocked. My refrigerator is over flowing with healthy stuff, along with my cupboards! She is is writing out a menu and is going to call me every day to tell me what I need to put together to eat for the day! She is my personal nutritionist now! LoL Now I am more than motivated to continue my weight loss journey. Thank you Big 6 (I call my Sister Big 6 )!!

New Job!!!!!!

I am so excited!! I went on an interview last week with a local financial institution. It went great. Today I received a call from the financial institution and the Manager extended a job offer to me!!! I accepted the job offer. The position is a Banker position. The location is perfect. I could literally walk...... if I wanted to....baby steps....baby steps. Needless to say things are looking up. I have been truly blessed.

Everyday ten minute mini goal!

Today was a great day I did my ten minute mini goal!!!!!!!!! Yippee It really wasn't that bad. I did it while watching one of my favorite soap operas The Young and The Restless. This made the time fly by. Small steps to success.

My everyday ten minute mini goal

Ok everyone this is my stationary bike. One of many pieces of equipment that I have. Why is it so hard to get my big butt on top of this thing? Who knows i guess I am just lazy. I even have it parked behind my sofa so that when I get on it I can actually watch television. This hasn't helped! I am going to attempt to make a small goal and not allowing any excuses. I am going to start out with ten minutes. Everyday ten minutes. I owe it to myself. It is just a small ten minutes. That is all I am going to commit myself to right now.Why do some things that are so small seem so difficult? When I was younger I use to ride my other stationary bike for hours while I just listened to the radio. How things change! Wish me luck! :)

Moving forward

Hi everyone I want to thank you all for the thoughtful comments you have made to me. It really means alot to me and has helped me get through this very tough time. I have been blessed and have alot of positive things going on right now. I am staying focused on these things and trying to move forward. I am back on my diet and have my food intake back under control. My wedding anniversary is May 03 this is the date that I have set to achieve my first goal I will let you know what it is in a future post. I will try to send out more comments to everyone. I am still new to this blog thing and still figuring things out! Thank you all for being out there for me.
