Ms. Blueyes' Life

 Is it REALLY OCTOBER 2022 already???!!!! HOLY MOLY CANOLI! !!! I haven't written since Aug? THIS is NOT ok.  There is so much that needs to be said and written down and get out.  This journey of health is such a MENTAL game it's not even funny! I've been in a really dark place mentally for a little while. I don't know why or where it has come from, but I know that I need to come up out of the darkness. I just know I have to stay regular on my meds, get my mindset right, back on plan, and workout consistently. I need to get back the mindset AND belief that I can do this - no matter what! And it's not even about competing...  When I started this journey, it was just about getting healthy and losing weight. I need to take the pressure off myself of THE STAGE and just get back to wanting to be healthy and live longer. Back to the basics I go and not get so far ahead of myself or get caught up in the other athletes that I follow, I lose sight of what I'm doing f...

 Is it really Aug. 3rd already??? How did I miss July???  OH MY!!! THAT is crazy!! It's been crazy! I've been really digging deep in exploring as to why I have overeaten and used food for comfort here lately.... it's been actually emotional. Self-discovery is part of one's growth and changing into something better - a better version of yourself. So, that's what I've been doing... reflecting, digging, figuring stuff out, and giving a lot of my past hurts and traumas over to God to heal from the inside. I'm seeing more consistency with myself with working out at 3am EVERY MORNING!!! Now, if I can stay consistent on my meal plan - the weight should be FLYING off my body...  It's all in the process and changes... Here's to August and seeing what we can do!

 Hellooooo ALMOST July!!! How is everyone doing getting through the summer? I know that it's almost July and the summer is just FLYING by!  How are we doing on our journey of fitness??? I'm doing ok, can be better and I'm DOING better! Baby steps right?  What is ONE THING that you can change TODAY to be one step closer to a healthier reality? More water? No sugar? Meal Prep? Workout? Change your MINDSET ? Do the work to heal from past hurts? Mine: just being consistent in waking up at 3am - put my workout clothes on - and workout! ALLLLLL in my mindset... My coach told me to get out of my own way... and she's right? Are you in your own way in order to achieve your goals??

  Hey there!  How are we doing on our health journey??? I've been doing pretty good! This week was a little tough mentally to stay on track, but we are doing it! Only ONE day that I was off plan, due to waking up CRAZY late for work and didn't have the opportunity to pack up my meals! UGH! I hate it when THAT happens!! How is your mindset? How are you handling pressures that life throws your way? KEEP GOING!!! 

 Can you believe that it is JUNE already?!?!?  May was a hard month, just like April... but my Coach - Melanie Martin - really had to kick my bahoodum for me to really get it going in the middle of month.  WELL...I'm happy to report that in 2 weeks time, I lost 11 lbs and 4"!!! I am going in the right direction! It's crazy to think what the body can do in a matter of 2 weeks time!  Staying FOCUSED....DETERMINED....CONSISTENT!!! You get RESULTS!!! You can do ANYTHING you set your mind to!!

 Well here it is mid-March and it's been soooo crazy!! I moved from WI to KY to start a job at the VA Hospital in Lexington... the chaos and busyness of moving, unpacking, switching things over, setting things up, getting son registered and school for him stuff - CRAZY...  I've been trying to eat on plan, but this past week was NO BUENO! Haven't intentionally worked out - I get movement, but not a focused, concerted effort workout...and my body feels it big time! I got my kitchen in order for the most part, so now I can meal prep tonight and get back on track... I don't EVEN WANT to check in! But...here we go! How has your March been going? Comment below...let me know how you're doing!!

 Well, it looks like I'm only writing and posting once a month it seems...  UPDATE: I have been doing my weight loss journey on my own for a couple of months now and for the most part maintained. I only gained a little, but that's not the direction I want to go in.  I had to decide what was really important - pay off a credit card OR my health. Of course I chose my health, so I decided that I would hire my coach back...and soooo very glad I did. Yesterday was my 1st check-in's since probably Nov/Dec timeframe, so I'm looking forward to my meal plans and getting back on track! Since I last wrote, I got a job at the VA Hospital in Lexington, KY, so there is a move that is happening next weekend. SHOOO WHEEE!!! I'm excited for the move, but nervous at the same time. Lincoln starts a new school, I start a new job, and we both have to adjust to a new routine. I will be getting up at about 3:30am to be able to workout and get ready for work. I will have about an hour comm...
