  • Good morning! Thurs! Who is in control?

    Hey STACers, it's Thurs. How has this week gone by so far.
    Hey today I was thinking about how long most of us have been going...the longer you go the more you establish order and control and power in your world. Today it was hard getting up, after all my excited phase is over, and when the alarm went off, I yearned for more sleep, but I just said, "no, get up and get to it, this is what you want to do."...It's true, get the sleepiness off and this is where I want to be and I enjoy the feeling of rising early and taking charge of the day...after all I am the one in control here...I like it, I like mornings, I like getting and being the one calling the shots instead of playing catch up to a day that has control, or emotions that have control and are leading me.

    So, the longer we go, the more incharge and in power WE ARE.
    Circumstances don't control me, I control them!!! I am rising up to meet this day, it's not running over me. I know what's scheduled and what's coming for the most part. I have food planned out, exercise timed out, and water will be flexing inbetween the challenges of this day...oh yeah I have to go to a class early this morning, and I am learning to give my mom a daily shot.
    That's a step in her care I had not signed up for. But the empowerment of my way of life, allows me to rise up to this challenge and work through it, calmly...It's because I have my personal world in order and that gives off confidence, and empowerment...
    Just been thinking this morning, since this is our day 45 here. It was our first out there on the calendar mark...we have 4 more.Oct 31 end of challnege. Nov 8 (100 days) Jan 1, 2007, I plan on being there stronger and healthier. Mar. 14, I turn 50, stronger and healthier, and Aug 1, 2007 I will have one yr under my belt...I expect to be a heathier person, active and empowered living a life that I long to have. Today's control puts me there tomorrow...

    Morning All.

    I am still kinda tired don't know why. Gotta make this short. Tammy has been late to work 2 times this week because of me. Anyway, Jess your right. We need to take control or we lose control.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

      Good Morning! I sure love that there is one thread for us all to check into...that way if one is having a busy day we can all still touch base. Pretty cool! Jess...me thinks you should be an inspirational speaker. I sure am glad we got you here. Thanks for all you do!

      Korelis...get moving my Man! Have a great day. Hope you shake off those sleepy feelings.

      Drink your water everyone and be a great day!

        Oh yeah, the excitement and newness has worn down some... I'm getting into a routine. Making this a way of life. Some days I bounce out the bed and some days I want to sleep all day! Normal I suppose.

        I did some Pilates yesterday and my appetite increased some. Today it's back down. You'd think the weight would fall off but no.... gotta do it right or it won't work! ack! Supper was at 4 yesterday and it's 9a.m. today and still not hungry.

            Morning, STACers ~ Happy Thursday. I think i have been ahead a day this week... i thought today was Friday. Oh well...

            Great post, Jess! I am feeling more & more in control lately... and i even started my moon time today, so that is pretty amazing! I have to give Fitday thanks for a lot of it... i am learning more about the ratios and trying to balance everything out. And i think it is really working! We'll see at weigh-in on Sunday, but i feel like i am losing this week (even if TOM is here...)

            Enjoy the day... it is a gorgeous week here... in the 60s from here on out for awhile! Time for sweaters & jeans... i love it!

              Ok Jenna, what is "moon time"???? wisdom pebbles and moon time, fill me in here...i'm just a southern girl here, and down here it's sweet tea and cream pie!!! no moons or pebbles.
              korelis, you better not hold the woman up! She needs to get there, man...my husband primps and makes us late all the time...don't get me started...
              Rachel... Yep we've "lost that loving feeling" no more bounding out of bed, to start another wonderful day of Atkins...I don't bound, I just get up and am happy within a few minutes of inital shock.
              Well, I can give injections now, in the stomach to my DM (Dear Mother)... should just improve our relationship all the more!

                  Morning. Last day of week 5 for me, and I'm down 32.5 pounds. I broke through whatever was stalling me last week and I'm shedding pretty steadily again, which feels good. Other than the occasional "oooh, I want that" I actually don't miss a darn thing. So I guess I'm in control

                          I actually do the stairs at least twice a day now, and do not have to pause on the way up. So it's certainly progress . I haven't been posting as much because I've just been so busy, but I'll try and be better about it.

                            Paul, I remember your very first post on the stairs and how it nearly killed you..i was the one who said, hey maybe take a flight a day and then eventually get there...I love that you are doing the stairs that made such an impression of some one using the resources around him and making it happen...that and your cruise...I think about the cruise and I cannot say today if I was invited i could face it...I admire your strength and look for your latest insights...

                              Elsie called it ~ "Moon Time" is your period, your TOM, your Auntie Flo... whathaveyou. My husband is Native American (half) and calls it Moon Time, and i always thought that sounded so much better than some of the other alternatives.
