I'm
not leaving my property again until I reach 189. The only thing that
can prevent me from losing 3 pounds before December 1st, would be
another accident. And I'm not taking that chance. Physical pain couldn't
keep me away from the gym even for a day. But seriously, I'm not taking any
chances. Not even to go the gym. (And I double check the porch steps every time I get near them to make sure the dogs haven't left a tennis ball there for me to trip over.)
I haven't been under 190 since I was a teen. But I'm not failing this time. Bearing in mind the healthy quotes I'll be building into the quote show, I want to share two more quotes I'll be adding. The first one comes from one of my daughters. It's original enough that when I googled it, google said: No results found for
"It is easier to keep a house clean, than to clean a dirty house."So...
It is easier to keep a house clean, than to clean a dirty house. - Christie Dickson.
And of course the house we live in from day one to the end of our lives - is our body.
The other one will be a paraphrased quote from the only two local girls that have been able to handle my rants on a daily basis... both of them are lean and strong, not weak and skinny, not chubby, not even medium sized with a little paunch, they're just straight up, lean and strong. And when I hate french fries it doesn't make them feel guilty for not quitting them too, so it doesn't trigger any moving away behaviors. Both of them share a rule that's so clearly strong in them it goes to the bone...
I eat to live, I don't live to eat. Of course I'd heard that one before... but when the only two women I know who can stand my rants regularly and both happen to have been lean their entire lives were asked for their rules and for both of them separately - that was the first rule.... I was like, wow... that's gotta be one powerful rule.
In my quote show it will be
"I only eat healthy foods in healthy amounts because I only eat to live, I never live to eat." Thank you Rhonda and Danielle. You're my two lean, mortal angels. I'll have to include in the instructions for anyone willing to follow this program... only your leanest friends will be able to stand you in anything more than very small doses through this process. When that happens, don't let it hurt your feelings or discourage you. That's just a sign what you're doing is really working.
For those of you who have been here with me through all of this online... when I wouldn't even let Rhonda or Danielle in there for a while, your comments were like cool water to a woman dying of thirst. They're always a healthy healing drink of water. But when I had to be ALL alone.... you have been my saviors.

source to ask and most of all, YOU GET RESULTS! Isn't that
what we all want--- I know I do! Lollie can give it to you!
