Oh No! I am NOT Pregnant or FULL FIGURED or...Am I?

For any that have dared to follow my crazy personal blog here in the ItizWhatItizWithLiz.blogspot.com I am sure you are wondering if I am ever going to get on with my Fit to Fab transformation!

It appears that when I was once that comfortable 129 lbs (see pic) I enjoyed a cheat meal that became a cheat week, that became a cheat month that has almost became an entire cheat year!

Lynn competed in Boone in September of last year. That was the night I let it all go. I was really just tired of the day to day battle to stay fit and thought that I would stay in shape even if I took a break. Well, I have to say that being fit is a lifestyle. I am 5'1" and at this point,right now, this second I am 149.8 lbs and am obese on the medical charts!

So, as you are aware if you have been following this on and off yo yo of my when to start battle you will know that I have gained 10 lbs in the getting ready to start phase! That was not planned but I sure enjoyed it.

Here has been an idea of things I have enjoyed and with each bite all I can think of is that I will NOT be eating this once I start GetPhatOnline...

Strawberry Shortcake and ice cream from Cracker Barrel

Cold stone Ice cream at least 2 times a week

Starbucks Tai Chi Latte Grande everyday

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal

and few other high carb, high fat things!

I have also only trained at the gym on average once a week. Slack, yes. Lazy, NO but maybe a little only when it comes to the gym!

So - why tonight before I sleep do I need to dish out the latest plan? Maybe as accountability again to you and myself that I am starting MONDAY with or without a plan!

I really prefer to get the A B C plan but I understand that my trainer has a lot on her plate right now and to be honest, I can't keep using her as an excuse for eating bad! I know what to do and as we all know we have to have our mind right to do this!

So, now my mind is right and here is why!

This week the following has happened to me for the bottom line NOW IS TIME facts to kick in!

The first was when I was at the store and a lady referred to me as "FULL FIGURED" body type...Now, for anyone reading this please know that I love my body at all sizes. I was 210 once and I was a size 17/18 and a true FULL FIGURED body. I believe you should love your body no matter what size you are and I fully support loving your curves but we need to be healthy and 210 is not healthy for me, nor is 149! I also made a promise that I would never see 150 again and at this very second I am ..2 away from breaking that promise!

The other thing was when McKenzie came home from camp and I was helping her unpack I was full and had my stomach poked out actually being very comfy in my PJ's! She looked at me asked...Are you Pregnant? Mom, look at your stomach. You could not be THAT pregnant THAT fast can you in ONE WEEK? I hugged her and laughed it off. Then I dreamed all night a crazy dream about being pregnant and my belly button popping out of my stomach!

So, here we go! Day one on my plan starts tomorrow! If my trainer gets me a plan, SUPER because she really rocks and knows what to do...However, I know my body and I know what it will take as well!

I plan to post "The PROOF is in the PICS" starting Monday as well and that will include before pics, measurements, and picture proof of everything I eat and training proof! I will be very detailed at least the 1st week just to have accountability to myself and to you if you care to follow!

I was planning to weigh 135 before 9/17....mmmmm...maybe I can! Right now, the goal is not look pregnant or full figured!

Have a great weekend!

Just a "Thought" that we all needed this reminder!

I wanted to give credit to a great writer for creating the following trail to success but I have searched everywhere and it appears the following is another one of those great thoughts that came from GOD himself because noone else staked a claim to it!

“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.

Watch your words, for they become actions.

Watch your actions, for they become habits.

Watch your habits, for they become character.

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

I shared a close version to this on facebook this week and have had tons of response...I want to dig a bit deeper into each phrase this week but before I do let's look at the entire picture of what this quote really is telling us and how I see it relating to life for so many people...

Watch the following video and see if you agree with me that the song by Casting Crowns "Slow Fade" is all about the life of a family that fell into the trap of negative thoughts, leading to negative actions, habits, character and destiny...

"

Read the lyrics as well and learn from the quote...

"Slow Fade"

Be careful little eyes what you see

It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings

Be careful little feet where you go

For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away

It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray

Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid

When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear

When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near

Be careful little lips what you say

For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away

It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray

Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid

When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands Is shorter than you're thinking

Be careful if you think you stand

You just might be sinking

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away

It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray

Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid

When you give yourself away

People never crumble in a day

Daddies never crumble in a day

Families never crumble in a day

Oh be careful little eyes what see

Oh be careful little eyes what you see

For the Father up above is looking down in love

Oh be careful little eyes what you see

Remember that happiness is not something we seek but what we choose.

Everything in life - good, bad, happy, sad...it all begins with a simple thought...

Make your thoughts positive. Take action today to think clean, clear and cast away any negative influences!

Dedicated to your success!
