Feeling kinda...
yep, just feeling kind of blah. not much more than that, wish I felt more, wish

I could see more, wish I had some quick results. hey, isn' that what it is all

about, quick results. Eat what you want and loose all the weight--yeah right!

my problem is not so much the food as it is getting up and working out. I am

in this time in my life where I am trying to find balance, I really am and you

know what, it gets so hard. I am trying to eat right and workout while

balancing all of the emotional ups & downs of life, family, relationships ( or

lack thereof), friendships, work, money etc. etc. etc. Sometimes I wish that

the only thing I had to focus on was loosing these "unwanted-by-me"

pounds! What if I could go to a (pardon my French) Fat Farm and only

concentrate on shedding these pounds. Does anyone want to sponsor me?

Pay my bills, car note, insurance, student loans & rent and let me go to the

farm for 8 months to only focus on the weight loss???? Guess I need to get

over that and just do what I can with the resources I have...sounds easier

than it is.

Lord--please help me--I am in a situation much worse than falling, not

moving at all...

On Spunky Diva Taking it all off...
What a title huh?! Well, it is the truth, no apologies, no corrections, this Diva is taking it all off! Just what am I taking of exactly? Good question. This project is about my weight loss journey, my life as one managing PCOS ( Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), and about me taking off not only the physical weight ( that is at times binding) but all of the mental, emotional, and spiritual weights--which are usually worse. Basically, all of these changes begin in one place--the mind, my mind. I have to change the record that has been playing for 27 years ( well, maybe not all of my life, but it seems like it). Anyway, I am so excited and so glad that you are taking the time to read about my journey. I have not posted pictures intentionally because I just want to write a bit and show the pictures when progress can be more easily measured. So keep reading up so you can see my pictures and so that I can help inspire you as you are knocking out the weights in your life!
