Resolutions

Well, in researching I found these all to be close to the top of the list...
Research shows weightloss is up there at the very top. Okay, let me tell you. You can lose weight, if I can then anyone can and I love food. I always have and always will love food that will never change, but I can maintain portion control and eat healthier. By doing just those two things, anyone can lose weight. Chris and I went shopping the other day, and I reinvested in something I gave away at a Garage Sale. 

I gave away a exercise ball, and now I have rebought it. Now, to just keep doing exercises on it. I think I can if I can schedule that time for myself. I feel so much better when I exercise and get away from the computer desk every now and then. It's hard to know what my resolution is this year, ummm 2009... I think I still need to think about it. I believe I have everything I have ever wanted though. I have a job, an amazing boyfriend, a loving family, a little apartment for me and my stuff, and just got a laptop fro Christmas. Everything seems to be coming all together. 

I would love to maybe begin something new, maybe a journey with some art involved with time for me too. Time to take care of me, and get that stretching in so I won't be sore from sitting wrong all day. 

I did want to post this... (It makes me think a lot, well until next time. Have a great week!)

Autobiography In Five Short Chapters

Chapter I

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost... I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter II

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

 Chapter III

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
see it there.
I still fall in... it's a habit... but,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is 
my fault.
I get out immediately.

 Chapter IV

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter V

I walk down another street.

Sam...Saw Chris last night, was hoping you would stop in at the meeting. I really like the poem/story on your post. We have all been there and I am not sure what it is but it your mind that has to be changed. Behavior. (I am talking to myself here) Wanted your take on Oprah. Mine I can't put in words I have to rant about it. Would have to discuss in person. Ed has been loosing weight. I am trying. Step one no sugar. Almost there. Ed is a snacker at night I never was but since we have been married the temptation is there I want that to end end end. We want you guys to come over before the end of the month. What looks good for you? We are flex. Ed is home by 6pm every night. So we would go with your schedule. Let me know. Have a good one.

Hi there, Chris mentioned he saw you the other day. Sorry, I missed everyone. I've been sick again:(not fun.I just got over being sick then it happens again. "One step at a time." That always helped me in my weight loss journey. It's tough, but anyone can do it. Anytime you want to meet up, keep me posted. I get off work at 7:30pm throughout the week. I'm off on Saturday's.
