roll call Wed 8/22

[Outback Jess]

Good morning STAC, I wrote the following in a post here this morning and I was so inspired by this that I just pulled it over here to start the thread off with...
I firmly believe this, and I have a vision for this and I live like this!
Have a great day on your journey, live strong and focus positively!!!
Jess

[I]"Super 30, you have really said a great thing here...It goes along with that law of attraction...I use visualization, vision and purpose all the time, and I look to my future and see it!!! Then I move towards it...I believe it is possible, and I cooperate with my end of things on a daily basis....When things get tough and I want to quit, all I have to do is FACE THE FACT THAT QUITTING WILL TAKE ME ONLY ONE PLACE, RIGHT BACK INTO EVERYTHING THAT MADE ME MISERABLE....ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE.."

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Jess thank-you for that inspiration!!!!!!! It's so completely true! I needed to hear it this morning too!

I am just waking up from what was a he$$ day yesterday. I had a killer Migraine all day long and ended up going to the docs and taking meds that just wiped me out for the remainder of the day and night. I almost decided to put off my second run today in the couch potato challenge out of fear of triggering another headache but I'm not going to. I need to stay on task! I am just 1.5 lbs away from exiting the 200 lb range and jumping feet first into ONEDERLAND!!!!!! I need to stay focused and your post today certainly brings that all into perspective for me. So off I go ................

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! I will check back in and try to catch up on all I missed yesterday later today!

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Go Jess! I firmly believe in the law of attraction...all who have sincerely tried it will see that it is true (just check what happens when you are in a rush, it is guaranteed that if you stress out about it, you will get all the red lights on the way to where you are going! LOL!) so bottom line...visualize...believe... I have a sticker on my computer screen that says..."think it -believe it- see it- live it" and the number 135 (my goal weight) It keeps me thinking positive and lookie my pants this morning...

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Good morning everyone!!!

Yesterday I had a completely on track day and this morning I had gained a lb.
But, oh well, maybe it'll go back down... I was looking through my food journal an dI think cabbage does me in... For some reason, I hold onto weight when I eat it...

Anyhoo! Good morning

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Thanks for the pep talk, Jess. This can be used in almost every aspect of our lives. I have some major soap opera issues on the home front and it's time I took control before everything spins out of control. I'll piss some people off, but they can get glad in the same shoes they get mad in.

But I'm going to take all of my rage and focus it on my exercise routine tonight. I'll be damned if I'll quit. I'll be damned if I'll be weak. I'll be damned if I'll let anyone get in my way! I WILL take control and I WILL succeed. And they will all cower before me and my strength, determination and control! BWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Thanks for the usual words of inspiration. I got hit with the energy bug last night, and cleaned my office area until 1:30 this morning (ya know the kind of cleaning where you climb under the desk to scrub the baseboard) And then I had a better than half pound wooshie this morning, YAY! Keep the faith.

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Morning *yawn/stretch* this week is going on FOR EVER, I am on vacation next week and just can't wait to get going. different trees in WYO, I can play outside there, no cell phone service no electricity no television no computer. Since I have not moved from hovering around 153 this may be my goal, hehe. if so its ok I feel pretty good and am not starving my ccll is VERY low around 20-25. I am not going to change my goal but if I never reach that paticular number its OK, because I have other goals that I have reached like feeling better and staying healthy /sick less often

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Good morning everyone.
Jess, I have never really tried visualizing in the future, I'm a spure of the moment girl. I am going to hang guek's quote on my desk, so I can focus on that...that was a good one.

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Good Morning Everyone,

Focus on the future, hmmm. That is a scary one for me. In the next 3 months I have alot of things looming and sometimes I'd like to stick my head in the sand and just wait until it is over. But...I will focus on the fact that once I get thru these days I will be healthier and happier. ( I am in the process of getting the exercise on track and kicking coffee) And I really think those changes are going to make a huge difference... At least I know that with this lifestyle I will be able to handle stress better than I did last year when I was in the middle of wallowing in carb addiction.

Thanks for the post Jess. Have a great day All!

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Hiya everyone!

Yesterday did NOT go as I had planned to control it, which leads me once again to the inevitable conclusion that I am not able to control everything, and that sometimes I will make mistakes, and sometimes I will take rest days when they aren't scheduled.

Nothing big: I accidentally took a huge sip of my son's Mountain Dew and swallowed it before I realized what it was (aaaaack!) and then was mortified. And everyone needed my car, so I never made it to the gym. And at 9 p.m., I realized I hadn't even consumed ONE bottle of my four bottles of water per day. (very tiny things, really, but in the past, they might have sent me into the guilt trip)

So I shrugged it off, went to bed, woke up 1 lb lighter (?!?!?!) and today is another day. I'm about to go for my run.

I visualize the future me constantly. I visualize running farther, wearing different clothes, having a different body shape. I visualize staying happy, and floating in troubled times rather than struggling in the waves. It helps a LOT. Sort of like mental rehearsals.

plsmachic - don't sweat that pound. It isn't real. Ignore it.

heidi - I hope your head is clear and painfree for the rest of the week.

byker - soap operas at home are my least favorite kind, because the people are SO much less glamorous than on tv, and there are no commercial breaks. Put them in their place! Let them own their own stuff so you can own yours.

speedy -only a few more days until your vacation! wa hoo!

Sandy - ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, heartburn! I have gastric reflux but only suffer when I eat too much bad carbs. On this woe, nothing. (Quite the opposite of what the dr told me, of course!) I hope you feel better. AND STAY AWAY FROM SPAGHETTI, SILLY!

Lynsey -next time you have that energy rush, please come and deal with whatever is under my bed - I think a colony of dust bunnies and way too many dishes to count, not to mention other mysteries!

guek - I want your body. No, not in THAT way. I just want it.

Tack - you can count on me for moral support during the next 3 months. Anytime, babe!

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

What I want to know is what kind of bra you are wearing?

Our busts appear to be similar in size, but I never get as much support as you have there.

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Good Morning...
Went out for a walk early, did my abs and pushups...

Wonderful british neighbor said she doesn't recognise me from a distance any more as I've lost so much... bless her sweet heart.

Re: roll call Wed 8/22

Good morning. Good post, Jess. I admit I am not great at visualizing my future lately. I guess I can as far as the 'physical' aka reshaping my body with this WOE, but other areas of my life falter. If I think too far ahead I get overwhelmed. Don't know why.

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
