Starting Over

Hello everyone. My quote this week is: "A friend is someone who makes it easy to believe in yourself." - Heidi Wills Marina's thoughts: Now that we are going into the final phase of DILIH (Drop It Like It's Hot-I'll explain later), I don't think it would have been as remotely successful without the awesome support that we give each other. Stay positive and know we're here for you! Some co-workers and I started a weight loss competition in August 2008. It was named the Drop It Like It's Hot weight loss competition. We have all been very supportive of each other and we've collectively lost a tremendous amount of weight. June 1 began "phase 4" and will be a full year in August. We are all really excited to see what a year of healthy living will bring for each of us. So stay tuned....... So you know how you begin a race, mess up and want to go back to the starting point to begin again? Well, that's me right now. I'm starting over with the transformation competition. How so, you ask? Well, it's all in my mind, of course. But as of June 1, I started over. I'm really going to stick to my meal plans and stay within my allotted calories. I'm also going to achieve the small goals I've set for myself. One small goal of mine is I told myself that while at work, I was not going take the elevator at all. I've not achieved that goal once yet. I've not gone an entire week without taking the elevator at least once. It's not that I was tired or aching, just got lazy at some point. Plain & simple. I'm starting over and I'm taking the stairs, period. Until next time................ Alicia
