When you are opening the door to deliverance, it is mandatory that you take the first step......

Gain 1.2 Pounds....

Bad week. But, I had a lot of different pastas last week. I will change my diet and be back.

Me

I love the skin that I'm in. I love the mentality that I have developed. I love knowing that I am the best me I can be every morning.

Feeling Pretty Good

I feeling really good physically. I started a new workout regiment. One that was sent to me and one from the Jilliam Michaels workout.

I have moments each week where I get tired of the structured eating habits. But, then I try on clothes and get ready for the day and I remember how much it is worth it.

It's been a long time since I have seen this size.

What's even more amazing is how people respond to people who take care of themselves physically. I have always had smart things to say. But, I can tell you more people listen and are attentive to my work and my ideas. More doors are opened for me and I am called young lady a lot more now. Quite funny actually. I really hope that is not my same approach to people. Intelligence and beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. I chose to be a different size.

I Am Proud To Be A Leo Woman

There is one thing that most of the Leo women never falls short of - male attention. She will most probably be the center of attention everywhere and if you are trying to woo her, be ready to get lots of competition. She will be the leader of her group and the other members will always accept her out of choice. The typical characteristics profile of a Leo woman includes qualities like liveliness, ingenuity, elegance, beauty, and sensuality. She is one of those who love, respect and care for their partners, but don't expect her to worship you.

She wouldn't be dominated; rather she has to be restrained. She is a complete woman and she expects you to be a real man. If you meet a Leo girl who comes across as very gentle, mellowed and completely harmless, don't get fooled. Inside, she is as passionate as any other Leo woman. If you are planning to give her a gift; better make sure that it is classy and as per her superior taste. Please be properly dressed while giving the gift. If you are trying to win the heart of a Leo female, give her genuine, decent and original compliments.

While courting her, never forget that she likes class and style. Don't even think of going to the roadside hamburger stall after watching the movie. She is not after money, but shabby surroundings make her pretty uncomfortable. In return, she will also shower you expensive gifts. The lioness may become a little arrogant and proud at times, but these are some of her basic personality traits. She cannot help thinking of herself above the normal masses and please don't tell her she's not.

You will break her big, warm heart. A Leo woman who is respected, loved and cherished will become one of the most agreeable as well as the kindest person on this earth. She will care for the children and help the needy. The lioness is a combination of intelligence, wit, strength and talent, mixed with generous amounts of feminine charm. This is what makes her irresistible. The best way to make her do anything is flatter her and she will even do the tiniest of chores for you. Never stop her from having a career after marriage.

It will keep her busy, happy and contended. She will be the best wife and the perfect hostess, who knows how to charm the guests. Leo women are not very careful about money and you will have to restrain her in this aspect. She can indulge in extravagance to fulfill her desire for exquisite furnishings, home décor, gifts for friends or even her own clothes. However, one thing is for sure, neither her home nor she will ever look ordinary. Her taste may be a bit expensive, but it is also excellent. Leo females make affectionate mothers.

They love and pamper their children silly, but also demand respect from them. They will be disciplined and have impeccable manners. Leo woman will be proud of you as well as her children. She wants her independence and will give you yours too. At the same time, she is extremely jealous and possessive and even the slightest suspicion can make her go mad. So, better not try to play the jealousy invoking tricks on her. She doesn't warm up to strangers, but she will not give them the cold shoulder also.

Leo women are very popular amongst the opposite sex and they like to receive male attention and compliments. So, you will get plenty of reasons to be jealous. Remember that all this assures her that she is good enough, but she will always be in love with you. With the Leo girl, you have to maintain a difficult balance. Don't let her control you, but then don't make her feel dominated too. If you manage to do all this, you will be getting the love of a woman most of the other men just dream about!

1.2 Lbs Lossed

I am actually okay with the weight loss. I was extremely busy all week. And, even though I worked out four days I didn't do my best. But, I am also positive I lossed inches this week. I was telling Larry that I could see it in the clothes I wear and the clothes I tried on at the store. So, while it's not the 5 pounds like last week....it is a weight loss. Again, I am headed in the right direction.

She stood in the storm. And, when the win did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails....

So this the new me. I am definitely wearing smaller clothes now....which in itself is awesome and amazing.

The focus is definitely the toning up part now. I must continue to improve on that. I didn't realize there would be stretch marks either....but, common sense probably should have kicked in on that one. 

The goal is to improve me from the inside out. Well, I definitely had done that.

I have grown up. I have a new mentality and approach to life to go along with the new exterior. Just once I would like to wear that two piece with flat abs. I am definitely getting there. 

I finally talked to Weight Watchers on Saturday. They said, my weight goal should be between 124-155. Yeah, right!! I can tell you, I will not reach that first number. Will not!!! That would absolutely be too small....even for me. We will see where I end up. 

5 Lbs Lossed

A really good week. I just it would be. I could feel the weight loss and the inches. The journey all be it rough sometimes....has been well worth it.

Improvement & Progress Are The Operative Words

Been Working Out!!

Wonderful Quote....

All I know is this...If it is meant to be, our hearts will find each other when we meet. And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls. Then every word and every touch will fuel our passion flame. I will be yours, you will be mine, and we will be one

No Weight Loss This Week

I don't know if I am disappointed or not.I guess with this being the holiday weekend/week I did okay. But, I must exercise more I think. And, I always say that but, then I stay with the same routine. Even though I feel so much better, I think now comes the hard part.

I am going to focus on the failure this week...gonna focus on what I can do this week to realize some weight loss. I think I will be more strict with intake and not do a lot of different things but, Lean Cuisines.

It so much easier to keep track of things that way.

Yep...changed my mind. I am disappointed. I would like to know on a consistent basis that I am working on my health and realizing my goal. This week was a set back but, I will definitely do better.
