My Philly visit and a big goal for my 1 year...


I'm in the Philly suburbs at my brother's house spending time with my 2 perfect nephews Chase(2years) and Blake(4months)... I am truly blessed but, the internet access and my eating habits are not so good... 1/2 a cheesesteak, some pumpkin pie, a little birthday cake(my brother's birthday was last week) and my SIL made some killer oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and blueberry muffins. WTF... If i still lived in Philly, I would find those 87 pounds i lost real quick... but alas, I don't. I have turned down alot of treats but I gave in too much. I will be heading home in a few days and get back on track. I have a goal which seemed outrageous but when i did the math, It is very possible. I want to be down 150 pounds by my 1 year bandiversary, March 23rd, 2011. I can do it... definitely but I have to keep up the good work and stop being tempted too often. Now that I put it out there... in writing... Wish me Luck and lots of Will Control(Will power and self control)...

  4. I'll wish you luck if you wish me that cheesesteak in the picture. YUMMY. I think that picture singlehandedly revived my dead appetite.

    As I see it you have pretty awesome will power and self control as is. Last year this time if you had gone to see your family, I bet you would have had more than half of a cheesesteak! You made some bad choices, but plenty of good ones. Be proud of yourself! Family is the hardest obstacle when it comes to eating I find. Especially the kind that understands oatmeal cookies should always have chocolate chips instead of raisins.

  9. If you can believe it, you can achieve it. Cheesy, I know, but still true.

    P.S. That cheese steak looks so freaking good.

  10. Only half a cheesesteak is amazing willpower. Sometimes real life happens and you eat more than planned...but you know you're ready to get home and get back to the plan.

  14. Philly is very tempting! I am a sucker for waiting in line on a cold day at Tony Luke's for a sandwich!

  17. I am from Philly so I can tell you that those cheese steaks certainly helped me pack on the pounds. 150 pounds is a lot but you have already lost so much. What did your doctor say? Mine said for me 75 is possible for a year goal. I have 3 months left and 15 pounds to go, it seems so attainable but also so daunting.
