Live The Life Of Your Dreams

"The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams." - Oprah
Living the life of your dreams.  This means something different to every one who is reading this.  So, what does it mean to you?  Reflect on this for a moment.
We are all on the same adventure, but the adventure, the journey, takes us all to different places.  This adventure is our journey into losing weight,.  Losing the weight to help us live the lives of our dreams, is totally different for everyone, because we all want different things out of life.
Some of us want to regain our health, or keep our health from taking a turn in the wrong direction.  Some of us want to be able to enjoy life, and no longer be on the sidelines, because our weight is holding us back, and it is too difficult, or maybe impossible, to do the things we want to do.  Some of us want to be able to keep up with our children, and grandchildren (and we all know how hard that can be.)  Some of us want to set good examples for our family and friends.  Some of us want to no longer be embarrassed of the person that we are.  We want to stop hiding, to come out of the darkness, and shine.  We want to be proud of ourselves.  We want to feel good about ourselves.  We want to have the confidence that we have never had before. We don't want to feel that life is just passing us by.
This is a longer journey for some, than it is for others.  The adventure of living the life of our dreams is the same, even though the meaning is different to everyone.  We all want to live the life we have dreamt of.  Every accomplishment, however small we may think it is, is a step toward living that life! 
Let's help each other accomplish this.  Let's cheer each other on!  Let's offer support for those who are having a hard day, a hard week, or just a hard time, in general!  Let's celebrate each others' successes!  Let's help someone get back up, who is feeling defeated!  Possibly, one of the most amazing aspects of this journey, this adventure, is that we have each other.  We don't have to do this alone!  It's important to know that we can encourage each other, and that there are others there to encourage us!

Start living the life of your dreams today!  Help others start living the life that they dream of!  After all, we get closer to this, with every step we take! 
 

Always remember – YOU ARE AWESOME!  Go out and make it a great day!

Why Do You Want Me To Fail?

What happens when your significant other doesn't support you in your journey?  What happens when their words and actions hurt?  What happens when you feel like your friends don't support you, and want you to fail?  Do you think about quitting because it is just easier than dealing with the hurt, and lack of support?    What is wrong with people?  Friends and significant others are supposed to love you and support you, so why don't they?  People in general, (not all people, but many) are mean, selfish, and belittling to others.  They want to bring others down, and they work hard at doing this.  It makes some people feel bigger to bring others down.  When you are in this situation, it is hard to see.  The problem is not you!  The problem is them!  Some people are just miserable in their own lives, and they try to reflect it on other people, when they should be taking a good look at themselves...

Negative v. Postive Self-Talk and Self-Esteem

Before I get into stories, and my point of view on this topic, I have a confession.  I am a work-in-progress when it comes to this.  Knowing, and practicing, are two very different things.  It takes personal growth, and I believe that I am slowly, but surely getting there. I believe that the majority of people are unhappy with themselves, for one reason for another.  We may feel fat, ugly, incompetent, lazy, or have any other of a million different ways.  I believe that we all can relate to some, or many of these feelings. My story is that I did look at myself in the mirror, and I saw myself as fat, ugly, and sometimes, pretty much worthless.  Sometimes I saw a total failure in that mirror.  When I would talk to myself, and to others, I would call myself those things, but also referred to myself as a fat cow, a hippo, a moose, or a manatee (a sea cow).  How's that for hating yourself and being negative?  How this affected my self-est...

I'm Just Not Feeling It Today

I'm just not feeling it today.  The alarm clock goes off, and you don't want to get up.  You force yourself to get out of bed, but you just want to crawl back in.  You see yourself in the mirror, bed-head and all, and you think to yourself that it just takes way too much effort to get in the shower, to get dressed, to brush your hair, etc.  You decide it all can wait.  You make your way to the couch, and turn on the TV.   In the back of your mind, you may be thinking that you need to get up and exercise.  Maybe you need to do laundry, or go to the store.  You quickly push those thoughts aside.  The next thing you know, you have binge-watched 5 hours of Netflix, maybe even mindlessly eating.  You are suffering from a serious lack of motivation. Have this ever been you?  I'm guilty.  I've had days like this where my fitness tracker didn't track over 500 steps for the whole da...
