Meeting with Success Coach

I had a great yet challenging meeting via phone with my Success Coach from school on yesterday. All I can say is OUCH!!, I walked away from that call knowing that my thoughts are not clear.  That could very well be because yesterday was a highly emotional day for me for some crazy reason...I spent a lot of my day crying and praying. I even when to bed really early thus is why I am up now sitting on the sofa and writing this dam blog posted.

From that call I have decided 2 things

1. Need to find me a coach/counselor/mentor to talk to at least once weekly to get my mind cleared up.
2. I need to study God's word about me and pray more.

I am sure there is more but, I have to stop putting so much crap on my plate and then screaming because it is too dong gone much.

I have some mental work to do before I return to work in the Fall, some I started with this morning. I am excited for the journey.

Love You, Love Me

P.S. I am going to be alright with myself really soon. Thanks for being there when I need you.

Staying On Track

I asked a really great friend what I need to work while on my spiritual journey. Her response was simple "consistency", so that is where I am today. I am working on doing things at an even pace and being true to myself in the process.

I have a few things on my list and I will just go from there, my true focus is to keep things very simple and let my life flow.

Love me Love you

Magical Monday!!!!

Mondays are always Magical....Why? You ask - because Monday seems to always be a starting point for something new. It is the first day of the work week for most, first day of school week for others,  and it is simply a day that most of us use when setting a starting point for a journey. So I love Monday - it is one of my fav days of the week, my next is Wednesday - you know why that is right....yep because we are half way there.

 Since the first of 2012 I have set my goals to start and finish the Super Chick Challenge 2012, so far so good I can't complain.  It has got my blogging more and work towards my healthy girl goals.  I decided not to call it weight loss because I don't want to make it like I am losing anything - Because I am gaining ME.

Now school is going well it has come with his opportunities for growth in regards to my writing and time management and that is coming along quite well...I love progress and productivity.  I have also been chatting it up with a life coach on a weekly schedule that has really provided some insight to this journey.  I'm loving me more and more everyday.

One of my goals this year is simply to take more pics of me. I have been posting them on my FB page and getting great response from my peps...I am start posting some here also.

I also wanted to share another journey that I am on right now and that is to cook more. Today I am cooking 15 bean soup. Yummmmy Lots of protein and it works really well for my WW journey...yes I believe!!!

Oh well off to what is next

Love you and Love me
Much Success
Erika

Living Without FEAR!!!!!!!

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Focus Off

Ugh @(#)*@)

There I said it. That is exactly what is going on in my head right now....I just want to scream. I feel like I am on a roller coaster ride...and I didn't even buy the ticket.  I really want off, I want answers but, funny thing is I don't even know what questions to ask. I know that sounds crazy but, it is the truth.

I need to not be writing this I need to be writing a paper for school or reading the 6 chapters that I need to read but, I can't get focused. My to do list just keeps getting longer and longer - I feel so out of control. I know that I am not alone that God is with me - maybe I need to hold on tighter to His hand.  

Starting the new lifestyle journey has been an adventure. I need to get more consistent with my workout...I did really good last week but, this week not so good. I had a migraine yesterday so there was no way I could do anything and today I'm still dragging big time. I did good to make it thru work....Oh yeah I did really good with my eating. And the scale is still being nice to me.

The pressures of life really hurt right now...I just want to cry although that is not going to get me any where so I just have to keep pushing and praying. God has already worked this thing out for me...I just have to watch what I say and how I respond to situations. So far so good!

Lots of Love!! Mauh!

Magic Monday

Today I started the 2nd blog and I am so excited. It is only about my weight loss journey. I will track my weight and I will also post pics. First pic goes up tomorrow...OMG that is so scary for me but, the truth hearts. I will even post my food choices for the day good or bad. I have not decided if I am going to use a app or not. Oh knows.

This is my last week of class and I have 2 papers to write for some reason this always cause me to freeze up...I have to push past it and I will. I will pull an all nighter if I have to..FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY.
