Currenly under construction!
How many of us have seen that sign in our lives??
Since I commute to work, I see it almost daily on some roadway…
But this is just a quick one…
I am throwing myself back into buddyslim…Going to revamp my profile, update and post my weight ticker, take new pics and post them…All within the next week or so…
So STAY TUNED…I am sure you are all at the edge of your seats!! I AM CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION…Use caution!! LOL… 
You see, buddyslim is what you make it. For a long time, it was my favorite place to hang. I used it for me first, and my buddies second. My true honest buddies. Ones I have relationships with that go beyond just the occasional blog reply. But, like a lot of people, I lost it for awhile.
So I am getting it back. I have told those in my life to deal with it. Buddyslim, the gym, eating right is going to take the TOP of my priority list…And everyone else will just have to wait.
See. This is something I have said from the get go and something I whole heartedly beleive. TO BE SUCCESSFUL AT THIS JOURNEY YOU MUST PUT YOURSELF AND YOUR WEIGHT LOSS FIRST…
I believe that. And its hard for others to take at first, they seem to think you are selfish…but for a bit of a risk up front, I do beleive we become better wives, mothers, friends, sisters, aunts, etc…
When we look better and feel better, then we can handle things much better…
For me, this means saying no for a while to the “Hey, lets go out to eat” invites from friends…It means telling my man I cant talk to him right now cause I am on my way to the gym. It means I start checking buddyslim first before I move onto my other on line communities…It means I take the time EVERY night to pack a nice healthy lunch for the next day no matter how tired I am…
So bare with me. I will be kind of revamping some things as I go along…
ANd to start with…I brought an old friend back…
The much loved and hated FOOD JOURNAL…
I admit it. I caved…
I dont think I can do it. My food journal is my crutch. I just felt without it, I was eating all the time and lost track of what I was eating…
So I got it out today and will continue using it for now…I need it. I like to see what I have had and what I can have. I am a visual person. I need the accountability of it…
I treat my calories like money…When they are gone they are gone…And I need to see them in order to do that…
So thats my confession…Everything else is on plan. I am working out daily and hard. My body aches DAILY. Still eating HEALTHY and now I am back to journaling…
Life is good for now! (Until I try on that damn skirt again! LOL)
Take care all!
(And I said it was gonna be short…HAH…Sorry!)
I totally feel you! I too had a great start and then slacked off…particularly the food journal. But it’s time to get back to doing this right!!
Under construction huh? I’ll wear my hardhat if I check out your page. One can never be too careful.
COOL - this , what you wrote is ace - I feel motivated - thankx
Your blogs always make me smile the way you are positive even though ya had a set back. I slacked off myself and haven’t got totally back yet so to see you doing it is motivation to get my act together.
I feel like a lot of us are starting over! At least we know we are not alone and can support each other! Way to get back on track! You can totally do this!
I can’t wait to see your updated profile and your weight tracker showing regular reductions!
We all start over every day, which makes each of us champions when we achieve our goals and stay strong. Here’s to lots more BuddySlim champions.
I depend on my journal to keep me on track. (I keep a hand written one) After two years of keeping it, I feel lost if I skip a day. Actually it’s become a compulsion. A good compulsion, that forces me to face the hard facts of what I’m putting into my body. Something about knowing I’m going to write it down…. I don’t know why, but that really keeps me in line. I think because it forces me to face reality, no mindless eating. Welcome to ’starting over’. It’s such a positive thing to do for yourself.
We all are under construction. I am learning to deal with new issues all the time. We can do this.
So excited for you…and I love the word revamp…dont know why but it sounds sassy and bold…I know, Ive got issues
Anyway I feel excitment in the air! Yay!!
lol I remember your love/hate relationship with a food journal! So, if you’re going to be keeping one again, you are damn serious!!! Best of luck to you this time around; you’re going to kick some serious ass!!!
I think we’re on the same wavelenght. I took out my food journal out today too….AND I’M LOGGING CALORIES….let’s do this!!!
Liar liar pants on fire!! So much for a short blog!! LOL!! Wow, you sound determined and I can feel your energy! We’re on the same page, you and I and I think we’re going to have great success this time around. I’m excited for us both—October 6th, right?
