I think I can…
I know I’ve lost. I can feel it and in the morning I’ll get on the scales for the true number. Feeling more up about things now. I apologize for venting in my last blog but I actually feel better for doing so. There are things in my life I would love to change but in order to change them, I have to find the strength within myself. In order to find the strength I have to somehow overcome the hurdles in my world right now and be able to conquer them–afterall, this won’t be the last time in my life that I will have hurdles. Just getting there to find the strength is where I’m at now. Knowing that I’m back to taking the pounds off has been a tremendous boost to my esteem. So for the last couple years, this Zone Diet has been the only way of eating that I have had results with, been able to stick with, and been able to quickly pop back into the groove when I have a binge. I looked up a couple of recipes last night and added the ingredients to my shopping list. I now have sun-dried tomatoes and herb chicken in the crock pot as we speak. I’m a plain girl myself and would rather choose to eat my cottage cheese and veggies for my meals but figured I’d try and spice things up with some new meal ideas. I bought the big thick recipe book of meals that are in the zone and last summer tried some very tasty smoothies. I also had some bad luck too but I’ll never know if I’ll like it unless I try it. So kind of anxious to see if the family will be eating my chicken tonight or ordering pizza.

Vent away!!!!! Sometimes when those scales wont drop I think why do I do this to myself, early starts, sore muscles, then I fit on some old clothes and they fall off me IT IS WORTH IT.
Keep on the path and the strength will come for whatever you want to do, when you reach your goals who can say you can’t do anything in life.
Might try some chicken myself!!
