Losing control here, Help !

I was doing really good all week until last night and some of today (not all day) . I just started losing my grip on it and need some motivation to keep me on track ! I have actually gone down three pounds this week and I don’t want to blow it ! I have also exercised everyday except today I was cleaning so I was moving not plain out exercise though ! I have set in place some people at the office that know I am trying to lose the weight and are encouraging me but there are those items in our office like cakes, cookies , and candies that are there I told them No all week until today I ate some fried chicken ,fries, and a biscuit ! I did eat the smaller piece of chicken but ate the fries and biscuit , shame on me ! I ate some of the other piece of chicken and made sure I shared it as much as possible so, I shared it with my two daughters and my three dogs so I ate bad but delegated it a little at the end ! So please help me get a grip ! Kimmi

Starting Again !

I have gained some weight since I started my job and hubby left for Arkansas and of course my sister in law’s death ! All of these are excuses and I am going to try to correct this situation before I totally undo everything that I had worked so hard for ! It came to me yesterday and with a full force that I don’t know what tomorrow brings so I need to change things and be everything I know I should be ! I will need some extra support right now cuz I know that weak me likes to sneak back and I really need to tell her she is no longer welcome ! I really need to get busy and change things today ! So , Thank you for listening and enjoy your day ! Hugs, Kimmi

When Tragedy strikes !

I have got to tell you all about something that happened this week ! As many of you know I have had an ongoing challenge with my brother in law who likes to call me fat, well I had to be bigger than that this week when his precious , sweet wife died on Sunday . She was the kind of person that you would want as a sister in law . She held my hand when I was in labor with my first child cuz my hubby was too tired and had to take a break . She came to chemotherapy with me when I went through cancer , she also made sure that everything was taken care of when I had a surgery that went terribly wrong ! She even told me stories about holding a gentlemen’s hand as he passed on to a better place because she said it was wrong for him to be alone at that time(she was a nurse). There were so many good things I could tell you about her , and the sad part is that she passed away at the age of 40 ! I am coming to grips with everything and my diet has been out of the window all this week , but She did teach me something in her passing is that everyday is a gift and the time we get to spend together is precious ! Never take anybody for granted , and remember to tell people “Thank you ” and really how much they mean to you ! She also taught me that sometimes the things you think you should be angry with a person for really seems insignificant in the end ! Always remember to kind and gentle because you never know when it may be the last words you say to someone ! As painful as it was to let her go , God knows best and made it so she didn’t have to suffer ! Sometimes when tragedy strikes you can see some sunshine peeking through those clouds ! so never give up is the message I am giving to you ! Thanks Chris, I will never forget you ! Kimmi
