Pretty Cool

Well I looked at my Blog today and I have almost 500 views... Pretty cool.... Also, a perfect stranger came up to me in the grocery store and asked me for healthy eating advice. He saw me on tv and wants to start eating better. So we went over a few things that he can change up... And he said he would be checking out Genghis with his family tomorrow!!! How cool is that!!

Needing A Miracle!!

     Well, I have been depressed the last few days.  The end of the competition is close...but with the muscle weight gained..  I fear my goal is unattainable now with the timeframe left...  But...truely..  I wasn't in it for the cash anyway.  Sure I am competitive, and I HATE to lose....  But...I realize in the long run this was a good place to restart.  Genghis Grill got me where I needed to be and put my mind in the right place...  They gave me a true reality check....  It has made me accountable for my weight...  After all...  Noone else can lose it...but me...  My success depends solely on my actions.....  And having this blog...and posting on facebook, twitter, and sparkpages keeps it real for me(and makes me accountable for my actions).  I have people rooting for me.....  So there is no way I am going to fail....  ;)  It's just going to take longer than a few months....
     I am actually going to try roller skating next week...  I have been since I was 18....  I really hope they have 4 wheel skates(and I don't mean roller blades either)....  Pity party is over....  I am over it...  Tomorrow is a new day.....  And hey miracles can happen....  :) 

1 Step Forward....Several back.... :(

Well today has been kind of a bittersweet day for me.... I am sick... Sinus infection... Went to the Dr. this morning. She was covering for Gillian..... Hadn't seen me in a long time and was amazed at how I looked. She said I didn't even look like the same person anymore. Then she broke the news... More muscle weight g...ained..... 1 step forward and 10 back..... That's ok though. I know it's great to have muscle... It just doesn't do anything for me in the contest.... :( I put a video together last night... The progression of me I suppose... I think you will all be completely blown away about what I looked like a few years ago... And that I have had an up and down roller coaster for awhile now. Well, today the guys went to GG with me for a late lunch, early supper... I had a chicken, dragon salt, broccoli, spinach, snap pea bowl. Roasted tomato was of course my sauce of choice of sauce, and served over brown rice.
Here is the video link for the slideshow I put together....
Just me...and the ups n downs of weight loss...and gain(mostly gain)

 

Kwest Sunday

It was a good Sunday... Got to see my lil bro and mom...as always... ;) Went and had a late dinner at GG today. Chatted it up with Meredith.... It started hailing and raining outside.... We needed the blessing of rain... But it's always a lil scary when hail comes with it...lol I had myself a chicken, dragon salt, broccoli, snap pea, spinach bowl...with roasted toamto sauce over steamed rice... It was delicious.... You will see by the picture today that it looks fantastically tasty! Also, I am posting a lil slideshow starting way back in 76... I've struggled with my weight my whole life(not as a baby or child of course)... As a lot of people do.....

Health Kwest VLOG link and other cool stuff.

My 2nd VLOG(the link to my youtube vid...)

Today was a great day at work... Not too busy really. Had GG with my son for dinner.... Compared pictures from back in February.... I posted em up earleir today.... I am about to also post my second vlog... :) I had a chicken, broccoli, snap pea, spinach, garlic water, squash bowl........ And of course I used the roasted tomato sauce over steamed rice.  My tv spot has been on a few weeks...  I have people coming up to me and congratulating me....  Telling me how proud they are of me.  It's a very humbling thing.  One woman was a friend of my father's and she has started eating healthier and has lost 10 pounds...  She said I inspired her.  How cool is that???  Gets me kinda weepy!
