Life is not what happens to you but what you do with it
Now that I work from home, it is a lot easier to find time for myself. So.. there is no excuse not to exercise!
Here is to making the most of it!

My Goals:
I am making small changes. I want to lose pounds and never come back here (here being weighing 275 pounds) So I want those changes to be sustainable.
My main focus now is to think before eating and to read labels. I aim to eat no food with ingredients that are not really recognized by my body as being food. (preservatives, palm oil, sugarlose, fructose, any other ose...) If I want cookies, I have to make them from scratch. out with most of what the food industry is trying to put in my mouth to make me eat more and make their profits grow.
My Program:
- eat as much veggies and fruits as I can in a day
- Make sure I get plenny of protein in my breakfast and lunch
- walk as much as possible (try and improve total distance walked each month)
- keep a positive attitude
- Be kind to myself and not make myself feel guilty
- go to the gym 3 times a week
- I also instated a cash reward program for myself. Cash that I can spend on myself without judgment. No need to ask if I should, if I really need it or if I may have something at home that could do.
When I weight, for 4 consecutive days :
- under 270.......... $40.00 - Done Jan 19th 2019
- under 265.......... $40.00
- day 1 : April 3rd 2019,
- day 2 :
- day 3 :
- day 4 :
- under 260.......... $60.00
- under 255.......... $40.00
- under 250.......... $70.00
- under 245.......... $40.00
- under 240.......... $80.00
- under 235.......... $40.00
- under 230.......... $90.00
- under 225.......... $40.00
Personal Information:
I am 55 married with 3 grown girls. Soon to be a grandmother
I am a developper who still goes to school to improve my craft. Will probably have my Bachelor's degree in IT Engineering by the time I am 60. who knows I may go for my Master's! before I'm 70? We'll see...
If anything, I have learned to appreciate what I have and not worry so much about things I can't control.
Other Information:
I like renovating, sewing, music and baking. But right now School is my hobby.
the dresses on the wedding pics where made by me.
It was a big project. 4 dresses, 4 pants and 4 shirts. But it was worth it!
