Again sorry

Well, last time I wrote, I told about some of the problems that I had.....well, I am still fighting the computer........have to take it back in. Sometimes it will let me blog and other times it wont. Not sure what is wrong now. I have been in a stall for a while, I just can't seem to get past the 250 mark.... maybe I was there for some time in the past.....who knows. We will be having pictures done at the school sometime soon, so I figured that I would post a new one then. I have been trying to avoid getting them taken. I am so frustrated with everything...........life in general.......my now 18yo son has turned into an alien (not someone I know) and he is fighting the rules of the house. Our finances are in the toilet and now going back to work just added more stress to an already overload system........gee no wonder I haven't lost anything for the past week and 1/2...........I am really surprised that I haven't gained more than I have......
Sorry.......I try not to blog when I am feeling depressed, because the whole attitude I have right now is not very good.........SOOOO frustrated.........I better go..........not in a mood for being happy and excited about anything............
Until next time, take care...............

Life and other challenges.

Well, first off, I wanted to apologize for not posting sooner. I got home from convention, and was so ready for everything......well then life happened. I did start my load days, and I have done about 4 days of vlcd, but since I last wrote, I have been under tremendous stress and have been in tears alot this last few days. Starting with, my husbands paycheck bounced.......we finally got that all figured out and taken care of, (including them paying all the overdraft charges) and he has been working hard to keep up a positive attitude.....well, then instead of bouncing more, they just haven't paid them for 2 weeks.........so now we are so far behind, that I don't think I will ever catch up again. The next thing that happened is, I got a stupid and very bad virus on my computer (beware of the Anitvirus 2008 or 2009......it comes in thru adobe flash......it looks legitimate, but it isn't) I thought that it was not much until it locked me out of everything. I could get to MSN.com, but nothing else. Anything that required a password was totally out of the question. I struggled with that for 4 days trying to get it going, and then I gave up and spent money that I didn't have to have it fixed. I need my computer for not only this, but for my business and I needed to submit an order. It took 4 days for them to completely go thru my computer and remove the virus. Then I was called by drugdelivery.ca and was told I needed to update my blog. I told her that I would as soon as I got my computer back and she said that was ok. So again, I am sorry to all. And now you know part of the story as to what is going on in my life and that combined with all the other stresses in my life this week, I have only lost 5.6 in 5 days.........I know that is still good, but I was hoping to be back to my liw by now........maybe things will be better next week.....
until later, take care.....

Back from Convention and ready to lose

Wow! that is all I can say.......convention was soooooo awesome. It was uplifting in so many ways. The motivational speakers and the atmosphere were phenominal! I am so excited. Not only did it apply in my business life it does so in my personal one.
The downside of that is I gained way too much over that week that I was gone. Now is time to get serious. I will be starting my load days on Saturday, and I go back to work on the 14th. It is time to get back to the business at hand and lose the rest of this weight.
One of the speakers was using the metaphor of how to climb a mountain. One thing that he touched on was to take it one step at a time. I know that is only common sense, but he talked about making it up this mountain to the ridge, only to find another one that was larger waiting to be conquered, and at this particular ridge, most would give up and not continue on. One of the things that he said just hit a particular chord in me, and I wanted to share it, because, it.......well, just because............he said "If you persist, the peaks will soon become opportunities, not obstacles" Dont forget to look for those opportunities.
Wow, what a way to think about things! Don't lose sight of the ultimate goal, but make smaller more attainable goals for along the way and then it doesn't seem like you are trying to tackle the impossible. I know that I have heard all this before, but it was the way that it was presented, that seemed to make the difference, and I left that convention with a renewed purpose and I know that it will help me in all aspects of my life. I have set some new goals and changed it around some. I am working my way to a richer, leaner and more fulfilling life.
I hope everyone has a great day, as I will be spending the next few days reading all that I missed over the last week and catching up with all my friends, family and sleep that is missed while I was gone.......until next time,
Take care
