I've set a goal

I am DONE being over 200 lbs! My goal is to weigh under 200 by Jan 1, 2012. 2011 is my last year over 200 lbs! It's only 13 lbs from where I am at now. I can do this! It is totally doable! I am really excited about this goal, and am wanting to get active as often as I can! If anyone is ever out and about, I would love to join them on a walk whenever I can! Let me know!

So today, I was on Pinterest, (My new addiction) and I found a link to a blog that I want to share with you. This gal lost 135 lbs, and she talked about what she misses about that size, and how she is both her skinny self, and her big self. It is so beautifully written, I thought I would share the link! Here it is! Look on her segment What I miss about 135 lbs ago. It's beautiful!

Gaining Control

If I have to gain something, I'm glad it's control! ;)

So, I have lost half of the weight that I had gained back, and I plan to continue to lose it. Things are a little less stressful now. It's not quite there, but it's getting there. I feel like I have a better handle on my life than I did a couple of weeks ago. I am doing everything in my power to be the happy positive Shae that I was for a really long time. I have goals and dreams now. I haven't really had them for a while and I feel like I have a reason to do everything that I am doing again.

Wish me luck!

Struggles

So, things haven't been going so well since my last post. I've had a lot of stressed added to me at work, and I haven't been handling them very well at all. I'm not sleeping as well, and I've put on weight. I'm not ready to admit how much, but I will let you know once I'm back down to what I've lost. It seems to be coming off pretty quickly now, but I still am not ready to admit how much. I am back to watching more closely what I am eating, when I am eating, and why I am eating. When I check with those things, I do much better.

I have been so stressed that I made myself sick. I'm learning the limits of my body and I am trying to stay farther away from them. Things can only go up from here. Everything except my weight, that is! ;)
