About My Journey

You know that something has to change when you hit rock freakin bottom and you can't stand to see yourself either in the mirror or a highly enhanced, major edited professional photo. This is where I was. God doesn't want me to be like this. I'm meant for so much more. Why am I selling myself short? Join me on my journey through my over all healthier lifestyle!

Life happens, so now what?

I joke because I was so gun ho for this blog and now it's been 2 weeks since the last time I blogged. Let me catch you up and let you know why I haven't been blogging. Week 3 was not a good week. Not only did I become really lazy, I just felt really defeated that week. So when I got on the scale that Monday morning not only didn't I lose, I actually gained a couple of ounces. I know... that's normal but at the time it really made me feel bad. So I whined for a little while but then sucked it up and kept on going! So here I was. A fresh start on a new week. So I thought... A very good friend of mine past away on October 3rd and out went weight watchers for that week. I had no desire to count points or exercise and whatever. I didn't want to do anything but eat. I wanted the comfort food. AKA... multiple mocha's during the day. Pizza from the mall (eww gross). Just stuff that wasn't ideal to eat but I did realize I am most definitely an emotional eater. GUILTY! So now you're caught up to this week and let me tell you, I knew that it wouldn't be a pretty site getting on the scale this week after last weeks "issues" but low and behold... I'm down 2 MORE LBS!! I couldn't believe it. So here I am, back on track ready to keep'em coming. Tomorrow I plan on sharing with you some of the best recipes we've found through Weight Watchers Online.

Here's a picture of my wonderful friend who taught me so much about who I am and who I wanted to be. Kay Sampson, thank you for breathing life and wisdom into me when I was nothing but an empty soul!
