I’m in love with BOB. BOB is not my husband, or a guy on the side (I would never do that), or even the boys’ school crossing guard that I have dropped off breakfast to before. BOB is an acronym for What-a-burger’s breakfast on the bun; which I usually get with sausage and the bun toasted on both sides (served between 11:00 p and 11:00 a). I buy them so frequently that I knew when the price went up ten cents. One commitment this week is to substitute BOB for a bowl of Special K, or some other cereal that is not all sugar.
I spoke with my favorite Aunt last week. She is in her 40’s, but can easily pass for her late 20’s. She advised me to eat five to six healthy meals a day starting at 6:00 a.m., and eating again at 9:00, 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00. I will probably stop at 8:00. She also suggested that I pick a day to eat what I want to (not to go overboard) so that I don’t deprive myself; and that I must be consistent with my exercising. I use to think it was a waste of time for her to jump up and down with the Fitness Pros early in the mornings. She has always been beautiful with a great shape. Years later I realize that proper maintenance is a lot less expensive than renovation or restoration. Older women teach the younger, but don’t just tell us how, take the time to explain why.
I have one more week until our WWE event at the American Airlines Center. I’m pretty sure that the female wrestlers will be further motivation for getting and staying in shape. I will also have a virtual drill sergeant to help me with my workouts. Fun times…indeed!
More Than Food On My Plate
|
The last few weeks I have had a lot on my plate. I look at the calendar and tell myself, “Only two more weeks until I work out with a pro”. That’s my justification for not working out everyday like I should. I did walk two miles yesterday in a hilly area, but I didn’t do anything on Monday. I did walk on Sunday.
I often ask myself and God, “What happened?” As beautiful as He made me (I say that completely humble without sounding vain). As I walked yesterday… legs hurting, thighs burning (I hear that is a good thing) it came to me… years of neglect.
I looked for a new place to move to last week, as I have been working on my exit plan to get a divorce. Yesterday, I thought not only have I neglected my body by eating what I wanted to for years and not working out; I have also neglected my husband by doing what I wanted to for years and often not consulting him.
People who really know me always say that I can do much better, or that I deserve much better. He definitely is a handful, but yesterday I thought about my part in creating the person he has become. For instance I work a lot. I make more money than most people realize. The thing is I also worked on our wedding day. I know who does that? Me. I would even make donations of $800 to $1,000 to different churches without consulting him.
New rule or resolution…write down all the areas of my life that needs housekeeping and ask God which ingredients to use. I’m sure forgiveness will be in there somewhere...myself, him, and others. I don’t think that I will file for divorce right away. I will just separate. I was also neglectful last week in forgetting to help one of my very best friends complete a project by the deadline. I am so sorry about that. So my friend in Grapevine, Texas, please forgive me. I have more on my plate these days than just food.
My weight this morning was 219.6

A Little Disappointed
|
Hello, to be perfectly honest I thought about giving up on my weight loss and holding the title of pleasantly plump. Then I think about my kids and a great woman that once told me that I should finish what I start. I gained this week, and I am not happy about it. My sister has NEVER been smaller than I am, and she is. I can go on with complaints, but I like my children’s school slogan, “No Excuses, Just Results”.
What will I do about it? Keep trying until I get the results I am looking for. One Apostle used the word, “Press”… I would encourage those that read my blog that pray, to pray for me and maybe you guys can help “Push” me to the mark. Hey, as long as I get there healthy.
Until next week… Oh by the way, my weekend co-worker told me that everyone was upset with her for buying me a cake. Don't be, we are actually good friends and I guess I did buy her fries when I knew she was trying to shed four pounds, or libs as she would call them. True story...every since she was young she always thought lbs was pronounced as libs. When she got married she asked her husband to pick up a couple of libs of grapes at the store. I have laughter all around me, even when I am disappointed.
