Pete and Repeat....

Remember that rhyme?? Pete and Repeat went out on a boat. Pete fell off.  Who was left?   I kindof feel like that is how my life is going...well, at least with my body.  I came back to my blog after so much time.  Not sure why I left it.  Guess it is the same old excuse..."not enough time", "life is too busy", yada, yada, yada.  It is, but I have to reprioritize.  I heard that word at church on Sunday. Boy, did I feel a big smack on the head from God with that one.  I need to reprioritize.  While I love my family dearly and I need God's strength more than ever, I must begin to put myself first again.  At least more often than I have been lately.

My weight loss journey has been stuck in a rut, lost in Neverland, out of gas.  I guess the distractions of life have caused the derailment.  But I let that happen.  I am fully responsible for this lack of forward motion.  I cannot make excuses, because there are none.  It is my fault.

Now, where does that leave me?  Back to square one...I have joined the Biggest Loser competition at Sculptures for the third time.  Back to Team Red with my original coach, who is a huge inspiration.  She herself has "been there, done that"...she lost over 100 pounds and has kept it off for several years.  I need to learn from other's experiences.  I have to get my mind refocused.  I must reprioritize.

I come first.  I deserve that.  "My life tomorrow will be the result of my attitudes and choices I make today."

I know that I am surrounded by loving and caring family and friends.  Please keep supporting me.  I need to do this FOR myself, but I don't know if I can do it BY myself.  Pray for me to have the strength and courage that it takes for this "reprioritizing".

Tomorrow's goals:
DRINK WATER. no pop
GET TO THE GYM.  60 minutes of cardio
