Thank you Chris(x)

Ah,thanks Grace (x)..it's been a wild journey that's for sure(not for the weak at heart )every time i think I've got everything figured out,everything going smoothly,weight dropping..Bammm..I'm back to revaluating everything,trying to get this fat to move But it's all good though.through it all,i always come back to the old simple tried and true formula.Just stick to the South Beach plan and eventually I'll lose After all this time seems like I'd know that but when those plateaus hit they wake me up and I'm back mentality like it's the first Day i started.Anyway..

Had to fight to get back to 191.2 but i did it.So I stayed the same this week which is all good cause I'm on plan and exercising hard.So I'm happy with life.

Hay Karl

Thanks Chris (x)

It has been a very busy week...taking Mother and aunt around town to handle their business plus my own And trying to help them to get ready for my Aunts 90Th Birthday party Saturday(while trying to get my own self ready)..man..it's been crazy.
And the madness isn't over cause I''ll be busy w/the party preparations tomorrow and the actual party Saturday.

I had to shift my focus to just maintaining my weight cause i just couldn't find the time to exercise.Trying to fit everything in was just too much.so I let the exercising go and I'm very happy the way things went/ have been going.Having to eat on the fly..I've been doing great!!!! taking stuff w/me..making good decisions.

I haven't exercise in 3 days the longest I've gone w/o exercising for a very long time.but i held my weight and thrilled at how my new lifestyle is shaping up.things calmed down today and I finally was able to jog this morning.WI at 190 Today so I'm happy.

Hi Onami.- I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading your journal. I am amazed at what you have accomplished so far, and I can't wait till you reach your goal weight, and of course, some pictures would be nice .
I think I will be starting my own journal pretty soon, I have been feeling kind of sad due to some hormonal problems that have messed up my weight. Never before had any weight problems, till last October when I gained over 42 pounds in seven weeks. Started SB not long ago, everything seemed just fine, but I started gaining weight again. Anyway, congratulations, you are truly an inspiration!

[OnaMi]

Thank you for stopping by Going Forward (x)..I hope things are going well for you.Sorry to read about your hormonal problems.Hopefully (w/your doctors help) things will stabilize very soon.

Well everything has calmed down and I'm in the process of being back in the losing weight mode and have started back moving more like i was before.It'll take a couple of days to get totally back in the zone but I'm fight to get there.Weighed in at 190.4 today.

[OnaMi]

I've been fighting hard,got my mindset back and weighed in at 188.2 this morning!!! The only thing on my mind now is fighting to keep moving.Doing "2 a days" of exercise ,tired now,going back to bed..but over all very happy w/the way things are going.I know if i keep moving the weight will continue to fall cause thankfully,(by the Grace of God) I've mastered my WOE

I'm too scared to eat anything that i know is now good for me,I've worked too hard and don't want to work harder to get any weight off from eating something not good for me.I don't want to get in that mindset cause i'm afraid that it might get out of control,i know me plus everything i eat,i really like and is SB friendly I even had some pork loin after measuring it out and making room for it in my daily plan!! So things are good.

[Chris55]

Wow! Congratulations - you're really doing well. Sometimes you just need to coast and attend to other things in life, eating healthy and not worrying about the pounds coming off. But you seem to be losing even when you're busy and stressed. Thanks for the continual inspiration!!

[grace2]

yay Ona! Happy to see you so close to your goal and working so hard. God is so good!!!

[OnaMi]

Thanks Chris and Grace(x)

Keeping a good Mindset on what i want out of life and how i want my life to be.I can do anything with the strength/help of the Lord.Down 2 lbs since my last post and know that all things are possible cause i believe/know that i can live a healthy life now no matter what's going on around me,I'm in control of what goes in my mouth.

[goingforward]

Congratulations Onami. I am very happy for what you have accomplished so far. Keep it up!!

[RedRox]

... i believe/know that i can live a healthy life now no matter what's going on around me, I'm in control of what goes in my mouth.

Getting to that point of being back in control was a huge eye-opener and realization for me. I'm not even sure I knew that I was out of control to begin with. Well I probably did but I used to think how I ate was pretty "normal" and it wasn't until I figured out what eating healthily and well meant and created a "new" normal that I could look back and see how out of whack what I was doing really was. Since it fits in well with my yoga, I think of it simply as mindful eating. I used to do a lot of mindless eating! But anyway that feeling of being in control of my food choices instead of food controlling me may be the single greatest benefit/result of the overall process. So it was nice to see you write it in your journal too!

Best wishes as always!

[OnaMi]
