Confessions of a Reformed Procrastinator

Procrastination can be the death of your weight loss program. The key to remember is that procrastination comes but you must know how to regulate it once it arrives. When beginning your weight loss program make sure you have rules for breaking procrastination

1. When in doubt act- there will be many times in which you will doubt yourself and feel that your weight loose isn’t working. When that feeling comes over you stop, think and begin by acting. Acting includes speaking positive thoughts to your self, ensuring your exercise program is consistent, and watch your food intake. There are days in which I still have days in which I doubt myself but I make sure the doubt last quickly and move on.

2. Erase your To-Do List every day or week and start over. Running lists end up with items that stick around too long, In establishing a weight lost program understanding what is needed versus what you have done will ensure the weight comes off. Having a plan and sticking to it is key.

3. Hang around action-oriented people. People with energy often have a thrill for life, and it’s easy to pick up some of that spirit. And this goes to the old saying you are who you hang around. If you are determined, motivated and focused make sure you surround yourself with the same type of individualuals.

4. Get plenty of exercise and sleep. Nothing makes you want to put things off more than feeling groggy or drained. IN the counseling that I give to clients I also tell them to make sure they are getting enough sleep. This question always leads to deep discussions bc many people don’t realize how little sleep they are getting thus their ability to function is lower.

5. Filter down and simplify. Does everything on your To-Do List belong there? As lists get longer, we procrastinators can freeze up and not know which way to turn first. For those of us who have or is suffering from obesity will often become overwhelmed concerning all of the things we need to accomplish when it comes to loosing weight and towards our program. (speak on how I was overwhelmed).

6. Right now – Before I begin think about the things you have put off earlier today. I have so many people who state to me I want you to counsel me later this week or next week, month because being a addict we tend to want to put off till tomorrow what should be done today. Don’t continue to believe you have time to hold off and not address the issues of your weight. Right now, today this moment will change your life forever. (talk about me).

Malcolm's derby car race

What a wonderful weekend, my son truly made me feel good. We e went to Malcolm's Boy Scout derby race. Malcolm and his dad took a piece of wood and created a car from scratch that took time and creativity. The outcome was wonderful, Malcolm raced his car and was so proud of what he created with his dad.

The joy on his face along with his sportsmanship made me feel great as a mother. His was motivated and excited about beginning a project and completing it.

I love being a mom!!!!

Break the chains!!!

This has been such an emotional week for me. So much has gone on that came out of left field. I just couldn't believe everything that I found out. It was as if my past was coming to hunt me.

But I stayed strong and realized that I have a choice. Not like before when I allowed my low self esteem to enter into the picture. I understood that I am in charge of this ship and I'm determined to ensure this ship doesn't go under. Unlike this picture I will not feel chained and restricted from moving forward.

There are some walks in life you must make alone...the key is to be sure you don't take people with you that aren't supposed to go!!!

Questions

I have been struggling this week with some major questions that I had to ask myself. It hasn't been a comfortable place to be and I haven't been here in a LONG time. It has really been tempting to return to my old habits of eating the problem away, but my years of training my mind, thoughts and emotions had to come into play.

I had to face the issue head on and really think about what I want and most importantly what I will or will not tolerate.Sometimes the past comes not to make you fall backward but to see how much you have really learned. Today I was sitting in my office doing some work and a moment of depression came over me. The old me would have let the depression win. I would have laid down and surrendered to it. NOT TODAY, I immediately remembered where my strength comes from, and went to the gym and accomplished a wonderful day on the elliptical machine I hit a all time best. The feeling of accomplishment I felt was so full filling.

The hard days will come, but we must remember the source of strength we need comes from within. You must be still breathe and allow the authority in you to take over so that you can become one with it. I won today, yet I know tomorrow is near. I know whatever comes my way I will be able to take it down and win!!

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a strong important feeling that we must and should all confront and try to live in our everyday life. I have had so many issues that have happen to me from people that caused me to close myself in and not take the time and evaluate why they did what they did.

Well today is a new day. I have decided to release all the anger, the hurt, and try to be understanding and realize many times those who hurt you are hurting themselves. Forgiveness is something God wants and expects all of us to become active in. It's amazing how it frees up your ability to breathe, to experience true love as well as, life in it's fullness.

I notice that once you make a decision to forgive many others pull back and try to convince you not to. Yet I must stay focused and live my life the way that is best for me. I have to remember I am no longer the "big girl" that will accept anything from everybody. I have let go of being a people please. It's a great feeling...

Will you join me?

T.O.U.C.H. 52:11 Inc Jan 18th radio show

On Jan 18th T.O.U.C.H. 52:11 Inc show on Blog Talk radio spoke on the topic of Think Your Too Heavy To Exercises?


I wanted to share some highlights from the show.


Priority #1: Safety
Problem: One of the biggest mistakes people commit is making assumptions about what they can’t do without checking with someone who knows how to determine that. You may have physical problems, ranging from medical conditions that impose unavoidable limitations on what you can do, to the typical after-effects of years of obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, such as chronic inflexibility, weakness, and muscle pain. These problems may rule out one kind of exercise or another. But it would be unusual if there is truly nothing you can do.

Solution: Don’t be one of those people. Tell your doctor you want to start exercising and ask for advice on what to do and what to avoid. Create a fitness plan for yourself for approval from your doctor if you aren’t comfortable with having it created by a trainer.

Priority #2: Find Something That Fits YOU Problem: You just can’t seem to find a good place to start. if you get down on the floor, you may not be able to get up again by yourself (been there, done that), and your body just doesn’t bend or let you get into the positions illustrated. You’ve been to the gym, but you don’t even fit into half the machines there, and you felt like you were going to throw up after two minutes on the elliptical machine.These are real true issues that I want you to consider because remember this show is here to educate you and to let you know about feelings you may experience not to scare you but to keep you prepared and focused. After having my gastric bypass in 1997 I wanted to exercise so badly but I didn’t know where to turn or what to do. To top it all off I felt ashamed of the way I looked even though I was desperately trying to change my looks. You must get past those feelings and focus on your health and your goals.

Solution: Almost every exercise can be modified so you can do it (or something like it) in a way that meets your needs and present capacities.

Above all, don’t make it easy to talk yourself out of starting an exercise program by getting confused about the difference between a challenge and an insurmountable obstacle. Loosing masses amount of weight comes down to a mindset and how you speak to your situation. You must stay positive and focused for it to be achieved.

When I began my journey to loose 200 pounds I was nervous and excited but as time proceeded there were times I was tired, discouraged and wondered if I would ever make it. Know that you can do it and if you stay on your plan you will achieve your ultimate goal!!!
