I outweighed my husband

Well,I was thinking this morning.My husband is 5'11 or so with a large build,I am 5'3 and small frame.At my highest weight I was almost 20lbs more than my hubby.It had got to the point where I was embarassed to share my weight with him.I was turning into a cow basically.That was very unhealthy.Now there is a difference of about 45lbs between us.The shirts I used to wear of his now swallow me up.I had no idea I was so big.I feel soooooo much better having this weight off.I give my kids a run for their money now.We were doing kickball in the yard the other evening for about 2 hours and my son (age 7)actually asked could he go in the house an go to bed.hahaha That was a miracle in itself.When I first started trying to lose the weight it was real discouraging to see the weight on the scale.My cardio of choice was the elliptcal at my home.I put it right beside ,my bed so every morning I would see it when I woke up.I could only go nonstop for about 10mins.I would be sweting immensely and take frequent breaks.Overtime it built up quickly.These days I can easily go two hours nonstop grooving to my ipod on the elliptical.I used to be realy athletic in school and it feel really good to get that back!! Woot!!:) Hope this day found you well........

I'm Normal Too!

Hey,
Frequent misconceptions about people at their goal weight.They dont eat.Nope,I eat ALL the time.Not junk but other things. Next Myth:Anorexia Uh,no.God didnt want me to be 200lbs struggling up the stairs.Yep,Im sure of that.Believe me I can run with kids all around the yard.I am healthy.And there are no bones jutting out of me anywhere either lol I am quite normal.Today I was stuck in traffic and feeling a bit stressed over a minor issue and my eyes suddenly wandered to Taco Bell and then Wendys and then McDonalds.I really wanted junk.My inside emotional eating roared its ugly head but I killed it quick by telling myself how dumb that is.Has eating a burger ever made me feel better? Nope.At the moment you think so but then afterward its even worse.Yep,I remember.I dug myself out of that rut and I promised myself I would never go back.Two years and counting.I'd say I'm on a roll.It felt really good driving past those fast food places.Hope this day finds you well!!:)

Is It Another Full Moon Tonight?

So,September is just about on its way out.The moon was full last night and it was spectacular sight to see.There are alot of superstitions about the full moon.buahahhahah But I think there is some truth to some.If you talk to anyone that works at a hospital they will tell you more babies are born on full moons.If you talk to a person that works at the mental institution they will tell you that full moons bring on alot of unruly behavior.Does that apply to kids??? lol My kids have just been extra loud lately.Is that due to the full moon?? Nah,probably not.So tonight I was going through my favs folder and came across one of my favorite sites to visit when I have spare time. http://www.everythingunderthemoon.net/ This site is a little bit of everything.It has links for the Wiccan faith which I study. It solves some of the usual questions people may have about spells,magic,phsychics,etc In a nutshell I think it is great.I met the moderator(hey,Heather!!)through the site a few years ago and found that we share alot of the same ideas,views,etc.If you get a chance open your mind and hop on over there and tell Heather I sent ya!!

Sarah Palin........?

Well,I guess I am in a political mood this evening.Lets talk about Sarah Palin.Wellspoken educated female.Great.I have heard so many views on her.Did you know the glasses she wears are out of stock now in most glasses stores? Ha I thought that was funny and a little highschoolish pathetic because these are grown women running out to get "sarah palin glasses" hahaha OKay,so she is the governor of Alaska and has a four month old with Downs Syndrome and also a teenager who is pregnant.Wow.They are really stripping her family apart.Wasnt she just announced by McCain two weeks ago.The media and opposing candidates are vulchers.Someone told me she should be home raising her four month old baby with DS and stop this ridiculous political aspiration.They said she needs to be a mother first.Hmmmm.I really thought on that on.Is it really OUR business of what she does with her kids? Do we have to assume that she will be an absent mother if she gets VP? Do we have to assume that she has been a bad mother because her teenage daughter is pregnant? I say,NO.I say its none of our business and they are taking things too far and personal.As we all know kids make choices these days.I got pregnant when I was 18 and some.Was my mother a bad mother.Heck,no.She was a stay at home mom that gacve us all love and attention.Its just at that age kids want to go their own way and be rebellious.Well,not all but most teens.I was one of them.If you're dealing with a teenager now,I will pray for you lol But they do grow out of it and become lovely individuals that revert back to their home training.I hope that gives solace to some.Heck,I am trying to give solace to myself so I can survive when my kids reach that age lol Let me know your thoughts on the Sarah Palin angle I am curious to know:) Hope this day was well for you

I AM SORRY

So tonight was spent looking through my correspondence emails from my informational site www.weightlosswebsite.com I really love corresponding with my web friends.Its amazing how we all are alike despite color,finances,and anything else that society uses to separate us.I am a different breed of people,I think.I say that because of my feelings toward things and how I feel in general.I am in an interracial relationship.I am black and my husband is white.We have been married for 7 1/2 years.He's a sweetie:) Anyway I was talking to my mother n law or rather yet letting her speak and she went on and on about how she would not be voting for Obama.First let me say I havent even decided who I am going to vote for in Nov.I have been so busy I have yet to take the time to see what these candidates stand for.Thats what matters right? Well,anywho over the years my inlaws have said some racist things.The way she said her stand on the politics just burned me up but was I surprised? Heck,no.Which brings me to my view.Dont walk around with an Obama shirt just because you're black and he's black and you want a black president.DONT DO IT.Please do it for the right reasons!! There are people walking around with this memoribilia that cannot tell me anything on his platform!! Now,same thing for the caucausian people.DO NOT walk around tooting McCains horn if you dont even know what he stands for but you know he's white and you're white and white must be right.DONT DO IT.PLease.Same thing goes for Sarah Palin,dont vote her units way because she is female or not vote for her because she is a female.We have got to live in this country with whomever is put in office so please just vote for the right reasons.Learn what these people plan on doing when they get in office and vote on that.PLEASE.Enough ranting for now I suppose:) Hope this day was great for you!

Weightloss Can Be Easy

Hi,I'm Tamara and I am a fitness/health guru:) I love to assit clients in achieving their weightloss goals.See I know how it is to be overweight.I was overweight on and off for years until I figured out the answer.Its not a fad or yoyo diet.Its information I have used on myself and family and friends.And it works.I wont bull you around,it takes commitment but at the end you will have a healthier thinner you to thank.And nothing wonderful is not worked for.I got an email today from a lady in Alaska.She was interested in ordering one of my diet informational items.In her email she mentioned that when she finally got to her goal weight she would be finally happy in her life.That saddened me.As I said I am not about bull.I like to shoot the truth straight from the hip.Losing weight will not make you happy.It can in fact do the opposite if you are not prepared for it.To seek happiness in your life it has to come from the inside out.When I was obese and overweight I was not unhappy.I was disappointed at the things I could not do but I was not unhappy at all.I still valued myself yet I knew for my health I had to take charge.When I got into my goal size was I happy? Yes.But it was a superficial happy.I hope I am relaying my point across with this.True inner happiness does not come from a size 6,a bigger house,a newer car,more money in the bank.........nope..........it can only come from the inside.I am truly happy for each day that God gives me.Whether I am a size 16 or a size 6 I am blessed just with that:) Hope this day was a great one for you!!
