Be Thankful

Author Unknown

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessing.

 

More progress in the pool but no changes in the scales!!!!!aaaahhh

Last week i had blogged that i swam 28 laps in 3 min….sterday i achieved 34 laps and even got my nenephew to time one lap and i did it in 1min 56 sec…ok i must have averaged at abt 2-2.5 min…bit still no changes in the scales so i guess i really should make wiser food choices…and another prob which i noticed last week is tat i keep weighing myself and therefore wen i don’t see results after the initial workout in the beginning of the week…i lose hope and start binging towards the end of the week and thus wasting all my efforts…only solution is tat i shall not weigh myself till next monday…and i made it without binging last night…in fact i went for a long walk after dinner so that i was so tired wen i came back…i just curled up in bed!Maybe this is wt i need to make sure i sleep early so tat i don’t binge…wish me luck buddies..so tat everyday is a tuesday for me!

End of a disasterous week and the beginning of a Gd week….

Hi everybody…well as the title says…it was a disasterous week as far as my weight loss journey is concerned but as my dear friend shelley says ….i am just gonna pick myself up,dust off and move on and i am gonna make a promise to myself to make this a gd week….i have analysed my prob and am gonna make the necessary changes so tat i stick to my plan….First thing is i seem to always start my week with great gusto but start waning as the wekk progresses so this week i’m gonna concentrate on consistency….i will exercise everyday no matter what and watch wt i eat…i will not deprive myself of food early in the week and start binging at the end…if i have an intense craving for something….i will take a small portion and be done with it instaed of letting it build up….Another thing is binging at night….i would like to take up marathon gal’s plan of staying away from nightly binges…but i’m gonna take it one step at a time….so my goal is to stay away from this night binges for this week.My food plan for this week…

 Morning:

1 protein drink or nutrition bar

Lunch :

1 slice bread or small portion rice with vegetables and fish or chicken

Snack:

Jelly or smoothie

Dinner:

fruits and vegetable

Help….my poor skin is all dry!!!!

Hi….everuone..hope u all had a gd day!i want to know if swimming almost everyday will spoil my skin…it feels very dry despite me using moisturiser….is there any solution for this?I hope someone can help me!

High and Low !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sterday i was feeling so high and good about myself bu today…for no apparent reason i am feeling so low…..i didn’t exercise in the morning…and i just feel like crying…but the gd thing is that i haven’t binged but i wish i can understand y i’m yo-yoing btw the 2 opposite moods!I wish i can always be happy…Y is it so difficult to always be happy and positive in life?

Swimming my way to glory!!!!!!!

I am so happy with myself today….cos first i’m being true to my decision by blogging often…..hey this is my 2nd blog today!Secondly….though my body hurt so much….i still went for a walk+15min hike up a small hill totally abt one hour and a half….then i went swimming!!!!!!!!noe going swimming is not hard cos its something i enjoy….but i only started swimming one month ago…..wen i started last month i could only swim 10 laps before my body started screaming obscenities at me but today…i did 28 laps….another impt improvement….i took 5 min to swim one lap initially but today i did each lap in 3 min.I know its still slow by normal standards but for for someone this big..every step is really important…i don’t know how my body is gonna react tomoorw wen i wake up but hey i’ll worry abt it tomorrow……gd night everyone…..i love u!!!!!!!and I LOVE MYSELF!

AAAAAAhhh my body is hurting

I really don’t know y but my body is hurting so much….esp my shoulders!and the scales r not cooperating either….well i guess i just have to work harder than before….but there is a gd news though…..after a yr i was able to fit into my old jeans….i almost gave it away but am glad i kept it so that i can see the results!and i still have the jeans that i wore wen i was135lbs and hope someday soon i will fit into those as well!Well i’m gonna do my aerobics today!wish me luck ppl!!!!!!

Lets start loving ourselves……The magic portion in life!

Hi though i don’t blog often i have been reading all ur blogs and there r things which i found particularly useful….one is the one about how ur previous blogs can be used to motivate u….i guess it really is true so i want to make it a point to blog as much as possible so i that i can eventually go back and see my journey in black and white…as they say its not the destination but the journey which is important…though in weight loss both r equally important….so i’m making a promise to myself to blog more…even if i don’t feel too good and i hope the wonderful ppl here will be tolerant enough…so an advance thanks to all u kind beautiful souls….the second very important thing is about loving myself…i can really understand that this is the root of all our problems…with weight,depression and life in general…cos if u love urself u r gonna be happy and in an happy mood u can do anything better…be it work,kids or weight loss and miraculously the whole process will be become easier…so maybe this is the magic formula tat we all r looking for to make living life easier!!!!!!!!!!!!!So ppl this is the lesson i have learnt and maybe its the most important lesson i will ever learn in my life…..love myself through every step i take in life and i wanna and do believe that with this attitude even when i’m faced with the biggest challenge….i will do just fine cos no matter how life turns out…i will be happy simply cos i love myself….does this sound stupid…..i don’t care if it does….again y should i care when i love myself….so ppl who feeling low…come on pick urself up and start loving urself and u will see life in a whole new beautiful way….so beautiful that it will feel like magic!!!!!!!!!!

where did the week go?

I feel like this week didn’t happen at all…weird huh?But maybe its cos i didn’t achieve anything and so feel like pretending the week didn’t exist…i know it sounds stupid…But on the brighter side..tomorrow is a whole new day and a new week and i’m gonna start a new diet….Hopefully with the help of my guardian angel(Angela)i am gonna make some progress in my weight tracker at the end of the week…so pray for me ppl!I LOVE U ALL!
