I spent a good part of 2019 planning for 2020 and the changes I need to make to get the weight off and drop negative people from my sphere. Plan to succeed, educate, motivate and move more are my keys to open the door on this journey of weight loss.
I love to cook and I like trying new dishes but for the last 3 years I have not had a chance to do the kind of cooking I like and not spending time at home hurt my health and weight loss goals.
Purchased Diabetic cookbooks and books on how to overcome this disease. (The people I was associated with for the last 3 years don't tend to read anything at all even when presented with reading materials. Forgot to mention that they are all suffering from various health issues from High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Diabetes, Obesity as I mentioned yesterday association with bad behavior will affect you if you are not aware.) Purchased a slow cooker (A few of the cookbooks are to utilize this tool) My dream purchase was to have a Kitchen Aid mixer, but the cost was always out of my reach. I closed my eyes and purchased one in December so this is one thing that I have always wanted but for years I sacrificed funds to help others and didn't get anything for myself including clothing. ( I put an end to this in the last two months also. Granted being a size 12 is not where I want to be but I will work to get back down as I know what it was like to be a size 5/6 many, many, many moons ago but would prefer to be a 7/8.)
I started curbing my associations toward the end of 2019 and this was met with shunning and the silence treatment from some of my so called associates.(I say associates instead of friends, because true friends are with you and support your best you.) Fine with me as of my last doctors appointment my numbers are mostly within the normal ranges for well managed Diabetic. My A1C is down to 6, medication cut into 1/2 and doctor has changed my appointments from every three months to every 6 months, so something I am doing is working.
Everyone needs to improve and learn in order to continue to move forward in this lifetime.(Lesson I learned from grandmother "You continue to learn until the day your eyes close for the last time".) My main support came from my Mother and Grandmother so I tend to refer to them a lot, I apologize up front but when these people are no longer in your life memories are all you have left.
I am an overcomer!!!!!!
I can surrender all to have my best life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the single ladies!!!!!!!!!
Good as Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a few songs that I love to go to when I need a boost to myself.
