WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Hi all,
I could not wait to come here today and tell you...I weigh daily, but usually wait until Monday to report...
I have officially reached my 3/4 goal of 75 pounds down. I have lost more, but I will save that till Monday. I am just so excited. I went into the clinic this past Monday and did my InBody scan, and my measurements....even thought the scale had not moved much, my body was re-adjusting and still losing in inches..so let that be a lesson to you that just because the scale isn't moving, don't get discourage. Your body is still doing something. Just stick to the plan and you will succeed thru any plateau.
I have officially lost 50.25 inches total..CRAZY! And, I have also nudged ever so close to a "healthy" range with my BMI. I do the scan again next month, so hoping I will be a healthy woman again.

My upcoming 5K run is just around the corner and I must admit, I am a little bit scared. I have been running a lot earlier in the day. This run is later when it is hotter. Hopefully, I will do ok. The important thing is that I am getting out of the box I have kept myself in for years. I feel so awesome. After my oldest son and Hubby get done with their Blackbelt testing and Graduation, I am hitting the kickboxing gym all out... The next step in my journey. I can't wait. I have read this quote many times, but Never has it spoke more to me than it does at this time in my life:

"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world."
- George Washington Carver (1864-1943)

I am not trying to command attention of the world, but I would like the world to hear me when I tell about this program. There are so many men and women that need to lose weight, and many like myself have gone thru the motions for years looking for that one perfect pill or potion to cure my issues with weight... After spending the last 30 years fighting weight at various levels, I am hear to tell you that there is no special anything...just a special YOU who deserves to be healthier and happier.

What is amazing is that this will be the last weight loss program I ever do. I never had those thoughts with any other program, but with Take Shape For Life/Medifast, I KNOW that I will continue to lose the weight, and keep it off. For those of you that do not know, the Take Shape For Life Program is so much more than weight loss... This company has done an incredible job at putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. Not only providing us with an awesome selection of meal options ( like who would of thought Brownies and Ice Cream would help you lose weight ), and they teach you too...you have 1 meal a day following a list of healthy selections and you put together a meal....as times goes on, you slowly add in more healthy food options and you learn what portions are suppose to look like etc...Learning healthy habits that will keep the weight off and live a new healthy lifestyle. I can't tell you enough about how great this is...I am so happy to be a part of this. I am also excited to be able to coach people as they start the same journey. It would be an honor and a privilege to help you too and I would be happy to talk with you one on one.

I am working on a few new things.... To help keep people motivated. I'll be filling you in on it soon....

In the meantime, I want to leave you with this thought:
"The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'."
Where are you? Are you truly committed to changing your life and get healthy, or are you getting around to it after that Pizza? When, and only when you are ready to get yourself in the game, you will succeed.
Till we meet again.........
