Diary of an Overweight Sistah

Join me on my journey of weight loss. It will be a long hard road. When I started out as an adult I was a size 0. I am a size 16/18 depending who the outfit is made for. With hypertension and diabetes in my family...something has to give and it won't be my heart nor my health so the race is on! I will log into my blog daily to keep you posted. HOld me accountable. Laugh with me, cry with me, lecture me. If I could figure out how to post periodic pictures I would, but I don't so sorry.

The Day Before Easter 2005

So you know I am trippin on updating my blog. The funny thing is I am working out. I am up to 5 days a week. Really 6 since I go on Saturday's, but inevitably someone makes me miss a day during the lunch.

I have finally put my gym time on my calendar in Groupwise so people know not to schedule meetings while I am at the gym. People make excuses as to why they can't work out. My kid I can't work out after. go during work. Go to work a little early and take a long lunch. Get up early and go before work. Seriously if you need to lose weight it is worth getting dressed at the gym.

Excuses are tools of incompentence..... Some of you know the rest.

I will also close out with Invictus. I am my own Captain of the weight loss ship! You gonna be real and join me?

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as a pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud;
Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody,
but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath
and tears Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years Finds,
and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate.
I am the captain of my soul.

I am off to the gym no matter how much I don't feel like it.

March 10, 2005

You know it appears that I am motivated to work out, but not to journal. I promise to do better. Today I attempted to walk to work. Then got lazy. I mean who could leave the house 20 minutes early when I had to see the skirt that Katie Couric had on cause the jacket was bankin' LOL.

It is always amusing to me the things we allow ourselves to sidetrack from what we need to be doing!

I just got back from weight lifting at the gym. I am trying to cut back on white flour stuff and even didn't have rice with my chicken last night..... But I went to a meeting with pound cake and that was all I wrote.

You know what? I felt better knowing Shaq and most of the NBA are obese right along with me!
