Look at the pretty stickers!
Success is so sweet! Es[pecially when you have tasted defeat a little too often. I did well today. I ate completely on plan. Ic an ‘t say that I wasn’t tempted. When I got home from work, I was hungrt and was tempted but then I thought, no, I want that sticker. I want to say I got my sticker. So I kept on plan. Then, this afternoon, after my class, went and did my cardio. Felt good and then I was starting to arguing with myself about going out tonight for my class of ballet exercise becuase it is sure cold out there and I have to take a moped. But I won the argument with myself because I am serious about wanting to start back up and get myself on track and get my body to be a lean mean machine. Maybe I don’t have all the classes of things I would love to take but her class is enough for me right now and she has really taken an interest in me so I don’t mind. I am wanting to do Mon and Friday class. And then cardio every day. I am really excited about this and feel good. I know that I am going to see that scale moving the right way this time and with me adding the exercise to the mix, it should be that much faster and it makes my body that much better. I thank GOD that I feel better and I have my mojo back. I was dispairing of ever finding it with my body troubles but once TOM made his appearance, well, mojo also made it’s appearance and I am taking it all the way! I am ready to get back on track and on that wagon. Feels really good to do it.
I also picked up my dress today from the tailors. It is orginally my wedding dress but it is a chinese wedding dress and very beautiful. I had it taken in (I have lost enough weight it was too big) so I could wear it when I am in the States. Nobody will know it’s significants but will appreciate it. I can’t wear it hear because everyone knows what it is but int he States, I can. I just hate to have it in my closet without being able to wear it. So , I am excited about that!
So guys, I have three smiley faces on my calender. The glitter kind. I have one big one and two small ones. I figure doing the toning was a good plus for me in getting out in this weather so I gave myself a big one. So, look a tthe pretty stickers !!!
I did the same thing when I first started working out again! I bought gold stars and put one on the calendar each day I exercised. It was great to see the month filling up with stars!
Good job braving the cold to get to your class!
I just left you a comment; is it in your folder to be moderated?
We need to make it our motto: “Will Work for Stickers”. lol Sometimes it’s the funniest little things that help us through a hard time. And then the old motivation kicks in and we wonder why it seemed like such a big deal. Nice to see you back on track!

Just the pragmatic side of me coming out… but when you argue with yourself… you are going to win…
I’m glad the GOOD Rachel won out over the “eat now, exercise later” Rachel…
You’ll have to post a pic of your dress… I would love to see it!
I should do that… I have a TON of stickers that I bought to motivate d while I homeshool him… (nice thought, but he could care less) I could use them… they are like way to go, good job, A+ hehe, stuff like that.
ooooooooh you could get English stickers here in the states to put on your kids’ papers… the benefits of learning English… they can read their stickers!
