[-01.80] STIR Fry: Awesome !

-1.8
Ok, I'm making progress ... Last night was a new dish for me ... stir fry! It may not sound terribly exciting, but it turned out Fantastic, a couple of tweeks and we will have a stellar Asian addition to the kitchen. For dessert, I stopped on my way home and grabbed some diet root beer, caffeine free - we designed a master "RB Float" - totally absolved my sweet craving.

I found out last night that my father is going in for an angiogram - calcification around his arteries... noted in his doctors appointment, we'll I've lived a sedentary life. I guess I question how close am I to his "sedentary life" I think I would say I'm close (live my world sitting on a keyboard). I need to work on this.

Starting Again

Well tomorrow is February 22, 2010. I truly started this project with the best of intentions. When it comes to my weight - it always starts like that. I just returned from my trip to Florida and I'm resetting my goals and my vision for what I believe I can do. This past week we have been watching the Olympics. Ann Curry had twittered ... "Olympians Shawn, Seth, and Evan all said focusing intently on goals was key to winning gold. So what is your goal?". Such a simple tool twitter, but I will admit it make me pause for myself and stop and think ... why am I not successful, why do I think I can't do ... the only thing stopping me from succeeding is me. Vingies wrote one day when she was twittering how she was going to run a marathon one afternoon - I kicked off a kudos to her and remember saying ... wish I could run a marathon - she twittered back ... "Kaarn" you can do anything you set your mind do. She's right
Seeing my Father this weekend re grounding my effort of the importance of this. I'm going to again start with the small step of just 20 LBS by April 15, 2010 - that gives me about 7 full weeks - an average of 3 lbs a week that should be good.

[+02.40] Not the best choice

+2.4
What do you want for dinner honey....?

NACHOS....!

Oh ok....

Tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream, guacamole - those are naughty
95 % beef and salsa - not too naughty

End result

"UGH, I feel sick"
"Yeah, me too"

45 days later

Well tomorrow is February 22, 2010.

My last post was January 7, 2010 – well over 40 days.

I just returned from my trip to Florida and I'm resetting my goals and my vision for what I believe I can do.
This past week we have been watching the Olympics. Ann Curry had twittered ... "Olympians Shawn, Seth, and Evan all said focusing intently on goals was key to winning gold. So what is your goal?" Such a simple tool, twitter, but I will admit it make me pause for myself and stop and think ...

Vingies wrote one day when she was twittering how she was going to run a marathon one afternoon - I kicked off a kudos to her and remember saying ... wish I could run a marathon - she twittered back ... Kaarn you can do anything you set your mind do. My thought… crap, she's right

It definitely frustrates me … why did I stop? It wasn’t like I wasn’t successful, but what did I get caught up on. Know what it was… Food Shame. Basically, I made some bad choices and didn’t want to own up to it using my blog. So I stopped.

The only one to blame for the failure … me.

Seeing my Father this week regrounds my effort, and why this is so important.
Watching these incredible athletes in the Olympics intensely focus to accomplish their incredible tasks reminds me of how I’m capable.
Being reminding from others that I’m the only thing standing in the way of my goal is hard to acknowledge, but truly an affirmation that I need to accept.

So here I go again. Starting with a focus on my first 20 lbs by April 15, 2010 – I have seven weeks.

Till tomorrow.
