A health, fitness, and weight-loss story.

5.18.2014

Sunday

I met many of my goals today, but not all.

I have one wish.  I wish people would be nice.  If they don't have anything kind to say, just shut up.  Really. Words can be like knives, they stab and cut.  It's uncool.

I got my big book/journal all done.  Tomorrow I will print the color photos of myself and a couple motivational sayings and have the book bound.  

I made myself a journal because I don't like what's out there, and I wanted everything mapped out in one place.  I didn't want to have to think, I just want to grab and go.  Here are the pages in my book:



Title
Favorite quote ever
Contract
Goal sheet
Countdown chart
Measurements
Quotes
Photos of me
Captain’s Log (data)
Supplements
Food--favorite recipes
Menu Planning pages
Training Regime
Video Breakdowns
Training Schedule
Workout Log



My quirky sense of humor had to be a part of it, so my health log was titled Captain's log, and instead of date, I wrote star date. It's the little things, you know.


I had contacted a few personal trainers and couldn't afford them. They also treated me as if I was stupid, like I still ate 100-calorie packs (never did), ate at McDonald's and knew nothing. For Pete's sake, I lost 108 pounds. That didn't happen by not researching, tweaking, and kicking a$!!! So I decided to give myself credit. I am my own coach/personal trainer now. I will work out at the gym, and use some Cathe Freidrich videos at home. I know how to eat, so I will.


I decided to name "my business." I don't need to share that here, but I made a beautiful letterhead, and put that at the top of 99% of the pages. It's in a pretty, girly font. I used my address and phone number. Did I need to? No! ha! I wanted it to look special, though, and I like professionalism.


The book is about an inch thick. The most important thing in it is the contract. I need to honor myself. I need to respect myself. I moved mountains. I will move mountains again. I'm that good. Yes, I said it!


So here's to me, a good, long progress, hard work, healthy eating, and honoring and loving myself.


Here's a couple pages from my book. My very favorite quote ever, which is at the top of my blog. Also, my captain's log.


Now it's time to crush it!!!
