Life's Lemonade : Here I am Again

Here I am again. Starting or restarting a weight loss journey once more. I know, I know, I know, I've been at this place several times before. but really this time I need to do it, I can't have any excuses any more. I have to hold MYSELF accountable and not depend on anyone else.

I saw something on Pinterest that really inspired me, something about how a misstep in your diet is just like going the wrong direction, make a Uie and get back on track.. I really liked that.

So why now? Why this time?

A lot of reasons, Greg played me a video he did of me sleeping at night, and I stopped breathing several times, sometimes up to thirty seconds before I started again. Sleep apnea scares me, I don't want to wear the mask, I have issues with things touching my face. But I also don't want Sapphira to wake up one day and I am gone. This just made me realize I need to get serious about my weight, because not only is it sleep apnea, and PCOS it could be diabetes, Heart Disease, etc.

I am tired of feeling sick and tired every day. I don't think this is the way to live my life, I think right now I am letting it pass me by. I have so many things I want to accomplish, do and experience. But I do not feel comfortable at the weight I am to do so. I am tired of watching life from the side lines, or sitting back. I want to be a participant in life.

So I made up fitness work sheets that I am going to "journal" on every day. And I made up a big goal sheet, a mini goal sheet and rewards.
