getting ready

Flying out next Saturday to attend Biggest Loser Fitness Ridge for one month. I am so excited to do something good for me. I started to lay out all the things that I will taking with me today and making a last minute list and checking it twice. I have spent some time this afternoon downloading some more tunes on my IPOD. This last week at work has been extremely busy and it has been a real struggle to get my exercise in. Usually when I get so busy I tend to put myself last, but not this time. I am learning that delegating is not a bad thing. My new motto is "Put yourself 1st" and I know that everything else will fall into place. I would like to thank Cat and Annalise for their posts on their blogs. They are so motivating and it just confirms to me that I'm not alone in this battle. I feel that I have a lot of cyber friends out there and it motivates me more that you can imagine. Every time I step on the scale I say "goodbye" to that number forever because I don't intend to ever see it again. This time is different for me because I feel that I have a more realistic goal and I don't expect it to happen overnight. I will be taking it one day at a time and will see this journey through. Off to walk now!

  1. Isn't it great to have new friends who are trying to accomplish the same task you are! Every time I have tried to lose weight it is suggested to have friends help you. But they can't if they don't have the same goals. I find my best friend often encouraging me to "cheat" on my eating and exercise habits. It's so frustrating. But friends online have really helped. See you on the 25th! I look forward to reading your blog while you are there.

  2. :) I'm touched to know that I am inspiring you and helping you along the way on your journey. Thank you for sharing your stories along the way as well.

    I'm so jealous that you are on your way to resort already, well, very close. You can do this and are moving your head right where it needs to be by putting you first! As hard as that is, without making ourselves a priority, it won't happen. And it won't get fixed overnight so taking it one day at a time is the way to go. This is it Robbie! This IS the time you will do "IT", whatever "IT" is to you! You are ready to accomplish your goals. And I look forward to reading about them as you do. Stay strong! :)

  5. A note from St. George, Robbie, it's in the 40s in the a.m., but the days are getting warmer, kind of bouncing around - in the 50s, the 60s and sometimes in the 70s. But it's going to be April, so it will be getting warmer. But walking in the cool is good! Bring a jacket! We're so excited to see you and be your biggest cheerleaders. We know you can do it. This is your year!
