Hazard, challange accepted!

Also, I would like someone to challenge me to do something this week. I don't care what it is, but I think I need it.

Well with my grandmother passing away, I had another mediocre week. I'm going to make it through this challenge and succeed. I worked out twice last week. I managed to only eat breakfast a couple of days and drink water most days. I journaled some and read my bible a lot. I've been depending on my bible for a lot of inspiration lately. I know in my heart that my mom and my grandmother would want me to be the best I can be: happy and healthy. I can't let losing them keep me down. I have a fantastic boyfriend that encourages me. It makes me smile just thinking about how wonderful he has been through all of this. It's time take my life back and be happy. I miss smiling all of the time.

This was the topic for the invitation last night at services. I've been struggling a lot and it was very helpful to have a reminder that I'm not alone and to lay my burdens down.

When I met my boyfriend, I had him come to my work place. That way I felt comfortable. Luckily, I get to wear business casual to work, so I looked decent, but I'm much more comfortable in my jeans and t-shirt. I'm currently wearing my TMNT socks (Leonard, but Donatello is my favorite; he's smart!). I rarely wear makeup. The day J and I met, I was wearing mascara and lip balm. He took me to Fuzzy's Taco. We hit it off. They will typically let you know if they are interested or not, by asking to stay longer or ask for another date (He did both). We went to the park and walked around that night and just talked. It was nice because it was something I like to do (walk at the park) and it was very casual. Like many of the posts before mine, you just have to find someone with similar interests. I actually wasn't looking for a BF when J came along. I kept telling myself that I was just too busy for all of that. You are beautiful. Confidence is key. Usually on dating sites, I'm paired with the meat heads that think very highly of themselves and that's because I'm very confident in myself, no matter what size/shape I am. I think I'm all that and a bag of chips and anyone would be lucky to know me. Life is too short to dwell on the small things. BE YOU and when the time is right GOD with put the RIGHT MAN in your life. HAVE FAITH! God Bless.

Teros- thank you for your concern. It has been a very stressful couple of months for me. My job has been stressful too. I had to drop out of my grad program because I was so depressed and stressed out. We'll get through this. When things get bad, there's only one way to look... UP! I did some major strength training today and it made me feel so much better. I talked my friend into sharing a meal with me instead of us both eating a huge meal. I just know things will get better for the both of us.

I'm sorry I missed your bday. Happy belated birthday day. You've been a great person checking in on me and my progress. I truly appreciate it. You are quite the hass with those animal style burpees. Keep it up.

My grandmother passed away saturday evening. I didn't do so great this past week. I barely slept or ate all week. That being said, I still didn't lose any weight. Sleep is so essential to the weightloss process. I would give myself a big fat F for the week. I'm back at it though today. I've been drinking tons of water and at breakfast. I have worked out today, but I know I can still get a walk in or something. Her memorial service is this coming saturday. This has been a rough couple of months, after losing my mother at the end of February.

this is such a great idea! My bf keeps complaining about the 8lbs he's gained in like a month. I've been trying to lose the 25 I've gained since we've been together. I told him we could start riding bikes instead of sitting in a movie or go to the park and walk. He seems game, but I haven't had much success yet.

Thank you. We admitted her yesterday to inpatient care hospice. They think she has about 2 weeks max left. It has been hard and easy at the same time, since I just lost my mom a few weeks ago. I need to just workout and let off some steam.

Let's see..this past week I did mediocre. I worked out 3 times (A). I ate breakfast maybe 3-4 times this week ©. I drank 8 daily doses 5 times this week (. I journaled some and read my bible a little but not enough to really succeed at my life quest. I just keep telling myself baby steps. To make matters worse, my grandmother has been very ill from 2 types of cancer and now she is delusional. I'm trying to stay focused and in my faith but it has been very hard.

THank you. Working out has really helped. It is a way for me to relieve the stress and just feel better about myself.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was just a shock and unexpected. I'm the oldest and I'm not even 30 yet, so it has been a lot for me to manage. I feel like I'm barely an adult.

I'm still trying to figure out the burpee. I know how to do it, but I feel awkward when I do them.

The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Psalm 4:18

Thanks a bunch. This has been a tough year and I'm definitely eating my feelings. I worked out with my trainer today. It felt good because he made me do pullups on the machine. It was awesome! I"ve never been able to pull myself up. I made a healthy meal for my friend and I: baked tilapia with coconut oil, fresh lemon, and pepper, steamed asparagus, pan sauteed broccoli with coconut oil. Working on getting my water down and I actually ate breakfast today. I just have to keep it up. My days off of the pitfall. I'm glad I have support here.

Main Quest: Lose weight and gain muscle 1. Eat Breakfast 2. Drink "8 daily doses" 3. Strength training 3x a week Life Quest: Find my happy, by reading my bible daily. I have been severally depressed that past few months. I've gained a lot of weight after working hard to lose it. I lost my mom at the end of February. I dropped out of my Masters program. It has been a downward spiral. Today, with the start of this challenge, I'm gonna find my happy. Get healthy. Discover myself, again.
