Dare to Soar BodyBlog

I have lost 8 pounds since January 1st. Thats my big news. 

Well it’s another day. That is all I can say.  I have to get out of this funk that has settled in around me and feels like its choking the life out of me.   I rarely get in these moods and it usually won’t stay long. This one is trying to sink its teeth in me.  Ugh.  Want to know how bad it is?   I have little sex drive.  For those of you that know me intimately know that is not a good sign.  Well it’s not non existent so there is hope. 

I am going through all the motions that I usually go through when I feel all this negative energy coming on.  Things like working on my vision board, contacting friends, working out (although they haven’t been as intense), trying to make sure all areas of my life are balanced, and throwing myself into a project. 

Right now I am developing Destination ME 2009 Support group for work.   Basically it’s a once a week meeting where employees get together and weigh in, talk about successes, and obstacles, discuss a topic for the week, and then walk away with a tip to consider and motivation until the next meeting.  I plan on covering everything from how to take measurements to proper form to choose whole grains to basic sup knowledge to stress management.  I mean there are so many topics to choose from.  I want to help them succeed. Plus it will keep me on track to drop the last of this stubborn weight that I keep carrying around. I mean really I should have already hit my goal weight and be in maintenance mode.

I just signed up to participate in the diabetes walk on April 18.  Here is a link to my page if you want to see my progress or even better donate.  http://main.diabetes.org/goto/daretosoar . My goal is $250.00.   I am hoping each my friends will donate $5.   I don’t have diabetes but I am sure I know someone that does.  The best part is we can educate to help prevent some forms of this.  Let’s make a difference together.  

Well I have to get to work.
