DAY 2 of BEING who *I* want to be by DOING what *I* said *I* will do! :))
I am *so* HAPPY with myself & what I have *proved* to myself,that *I* CAN do do this. I HAVE what it takes: "Weapons of war to battle the fight" & win. They are inside *me*!

Inspired today by RickyWayne (A&E's HEAVY)

I did it! I DID what I said I was going to do & I feel AWESOME :))

2nd Journal for today....
After reading all YOUR comments & journal entries I sat down to lunch & to watch a bit of TV but not just *any* show. I sat down with a purpose! The purpose to KEEP inspired & focused on my goals. And was I ever!

I finished my lunch,donned a hoodie & headed out the door for another walk. THIS walk had a few "things" changed:
I didn't check the clock to see how long it was going to take me.(Does it really matter how long if this is a lifetime commitment? And if is DOES,then I'll cross that bridge later. Right now my focus is on DOING the activities that lead to ME being in control.
I "sweet-talked" myself from the get-go! "Keep a soft knee."-"Roll off the heel"-"Breath right. In thru the nose,out thru the mouth"- "I got this.I can do it"."- "I'm half way there."-"It's starting to drizzle,raise your hood."- (Prayed that it wouldn't rain until I got home & the drizzle remained steady)-"Jacket's getting damp & sticking to me. This is life,I gotta learn to deal with it & not allow myself to put off what *I* need to do! LOL :) Keep going.*I* make the choices!"- "My "mark" is just ahead. :) *I'm* calling the shots.Go farther!"- "LOL I rounded the bend!There's another 1...LOL :) What's 1 more?"-"If I wanna call it quits at the trax & take a short cut home I will.I've done GREAT!"- "At the trax. I'm GOING FOR IT! LOL"- "This is amazing! I feel so powerful :)"- "I'm slowing down. That's ok,I'm DOING it. The time it takes isn't a factor right now. I can work on that later if I want."- "LOL,OMG I'm DOING it! LOL :)"- "Home is just around the bend."
"There it is! :) I wonder how far I walked?!"
The distance doesn't matter either. What matters is that I DID IT!
Just WHAT did I do? LOL
I did what I said I was going to do in order to reach my goals without letting obstacles/opposition call the shots. I controlled what I did or did not do! LOL & I enjoyed it SOOOOO much more. :)

I dedicate this experience/accomplishment to the following people:
Keeper-For buying the Roku. I wouldn't have been able to watch A&E w/o it.
Bella-For mentioning the show HEAVY in her journal.
Tom & Jodi-For their words:"The new me must fight the old me" & "Thanks for pushing me to DO it.It's all WORTH it. Every ache & pain!"
MyawethinTICself- For KNOWING that it IS all worth it & fighting my old self without letting her win. :))
My Old Self-For *truly* wanting MyawethinTICself to win!!!

After I got home I jumped in the car to find out what my mileage was that I had walked. I turned on the radio as I drove the route I had just taken & found myself singing with the song "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking" as a love song to me! :) As my Bio says: My body & I have a long way to go but that's ok...we are enjoying getting to know one another again :)
I walked 2 miles.

This morning I weighed in & found the # on the scale has gone up. Altho' I shouldn't have been surprised because the way I eat is horrible.

Buddies,if you are reading this please do NOT think I'm discouraged or being hard on myself or any other thought that once analyzed could be construed that I'm down on myself. I most certainly am not.
When *I* make note of the *facts* of my life,the things I do or the things I do not do,it actually HELPS me to do better in moving CLOSER to my goals because it allows me to *see* the changes I need to make,or the progress that I *am* making.That inspires me :)
If I were to gloss over my attempts & efforts I would be undermining/sabotaging myself in reaching my desired Lifestyle Transformation.
Our goals & our ways in reaching our goals may not be the same & that's ok. None of us are exactly alike but we do have several factors in common! We all need support,even if what supports one doesn't support the other. Our journeys are not one way or no way.
By examining the facts of my life, I learn a lot about myself that once I *admit* I can change if I decide to.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT *ME* BY EXAMINING THE FACTS OF *MY* LIFE:
I *allow* others to influence/sabotage my decisions on weight control.
If I were alone it would be easier to reach my goals.
*I* need to find a way to combine my weight loss efforts with peer pressure.
The way I eat is characterized by my social obligations.
People around me are not supportive of my efforts or they are not health conscious themselves.When I am with them I tend to be a follower of *their* lifestyle.
I *know* what *I* must do yet find it hard to follow thru.

HOW THESE *FACTS* HELP ME:
They have recalled to my mind how my youngest son described me before he set out to make a life of his own: "Mom, you always do what you say you will do."
:) What inspiration! These facts don't define me because *I* ALWAYS do what I say I will do & I say I will transform myself by CHANGING the examined facts. We can not become who we want to be by staying who we are! FACT :)

THINGS(once changed they are no longer facts) I AM CHANGING:
Social Obligations- Rather than following the crowd whose focus is on unhealthy food & inactivity *I* will suggest healthy food & activity that allow me to make changes in my weight loss *progress*. If my suggestions meet with opposition *I* must stand up for myself/my goals & change this "social obligation" to "my priority" happily.

I *see* my awe thin TIC self already! :) Can you? ;) LOL
