A New Quest continued

So I know I haven't been updating this blog lately on the progress of my new quest, but I can say that I am still on track. I have slowed down with the water, but I pick it back up whenever I feel myself slipping. I have my ups and downs with remembering to take my meds and vitamins. I have to constantly pray for encouragement and motivation-I cannot do this alone. I am proud to say through all my ups and downs that I have lost another 2lbs! I know that I can contribute this to the summer months of less eating and more physical activity, but the long run will show how much effort I am really putting in. I am now adding another factor into my quest to maximize my success. I will walk the stairs at work-3 times per day-thats 7 flights per time. I know this is logical because it only takes 5 minutes per time and who doesn't have 15 minutes scattered throughout there day to find time for themselves?  I hope you also are seeing success in your quest too! Wish me luck that I will stay motivated to keep this up.

Blog Changes

I'm not sure if any other bloggers noticed, but there are some new design changes available and as you can see my blog is undergoinging some of those changes. Sorry for the unreadable content as times, I'm trying to get it right and of course I didn't back-up my template. I love the new features by the way!

Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated

Treat others the way you want to be treated is not only a common quote or the “golden rule”, but a major part of our lives. This relates to every relationship including your family, friends, strangers and enemies. I have come to find out how important this is in everyday situations. Most often we don’t realize how we come off to others; we may think that our actions aren’t being felt by others. We are all emotional human beings - we deserve for our feelings to be taken into consideration and to be respected. We all need to understand what effect our actions have on the lives of others. We need to be able to imagine ourselves in the other person's place on the receiving end of the action. Treating people morally should come from the inside, you shouldn’t do it because it looks good or you’re trying to make an impression. Think about it, would you want someone to act like your friend because you know a specific person or have a common tie, but deep inside they rather not have your friendship? Take this time and think about how you treat the people surrounded by you most often- you family and friends. Are you sure that you’re absolutely OK with the actions you perform, with the conversations you have? Are you unknowingly offensive or disrespectful with the things or say or do? Would you mind being treated in those ways? Would you not feel hurt or rejected by those actions? If you find that these questions have sparked some thoughts about your actions, then perhaps you need to reestablish yourself with the golden rule

Rocks and Heels

Lets just say, they don't go together. Sticks and stones not only break your bones, but your heels too. A too cute pair of heels that I've worn for the first time are now history. I am still heart broken at this. Why me?? Why did I have to walk thru the gravel parking lot and stand in the long line at Wet Willies? Why did I have to put my heels through so much pain and suffering. I'll miss you, but I must move on.

The Beginning......

As easy as it sounds, the harder it is. We I've been on the gallon a day for a few days now and OMG- I didn't know it would be so hard. If you've tried this too, I'm sure you and the restroom have become very fond of one another by now. I've read that the frequent trips should wear off after a few days. I can't wait! I can admit that this has helped with eating smaller portions and staying fuller longer. I try to get mines in before 5 pm everyday and anything after that is extra.
I've decided also now that my treacherous week with the Md's are over for now...I will start to take all my medicines and vitamins everyday like I should. I know your probably wondering well what kind of meds is she taking?
I have to take a required med every morning before I start my day, Vitamin D is also necessity, my multi-vitamin One-A-Day Weight Smart, Vitamin B-12, & Fiber Caplets.
Adding this into my plan will be a hassle to begin with but in the long run should get me off most of these meds. I must take my required med every morning after getting out of bed, I can then not eat or drink anything for another hour. With my breakfast I will take my Multi vitamin, vitamin D and B-12. With lunch I will take my Fiber caplet and then again at dinner the fiber caplet.
All of this will be vital in getting to the ultimate goal and without it or skipping it will only keep me on the path I'm on, so here is another challenge that I must stay on.
As you should see, I am slowly incorporating piece by piece on to my ultimate goal, I've tried to go hard and do it all at once in the past and fell into the same trap of no success, so it doesn't hurt to take it easy if you want to stay on the right path.
Now its time for you to add in that next piece, it may differ from mines but it remains an vital piece. Wish me luck and the same for you.
BTW- I have lost 3 lbs since Monday May 24th.
