So I really don't know what to call this blog. It's like something hit me in the head and woke me. It is kind of funny cause my sister-in law Sue just finished a walk to Disney land which her whole company received step meters to track the mileage. Which of course she made the mileage however its sad to say she did not win the grand prize. But is it really about the prize or is it for yourself? So about 1 year ago my work started the Life track program in which they also handed out the cheapest step meters the could buy and gave to everyone. So of course I know that I am over weight so I decide for whatever reason to try it and see what happens. Well the dumb step meter kept resetting on its own so I got made and quit, just like every other weight loss thing I have tried. My work decided to change the program a little in the middle of summer. Which it had stuff on the internet there to help you in your life with all types of things like quitting smoking, quit drink, weight los. Basically had things that to help you improve your way of life. I would log on and they had quiz's you could take and receive points. And with these points you can pick prizes and of coures they are like "All A Dollar" items so again it did not catch my attention.
September was a really bad month for me. I have severe anxiety and it went sky high. There were days that I could not get out of bed. I could not breath. I was sick. It started taking a toll on me and my family. So I had to do something about it. I call my Obgyn cause I had surgery in July and I thought that it could be my female organs. All the blood work came back normal and of course I was hoping for the easy way out. So I went to my medicine doctor to see if we need to make some changes to the meds I have been taking. So he switched a few things around. And I started filling better. But there was something that was bugging me and I could not figure it out. So I started looking up stuff on the Internet to see what I could find and I didn't really find anything. So still filling a little down. I went back onto that life track page and there was a weight loss challenge between all the regions which there are 21. So I was done with what I needed to do at work one day. I started messing around and got this idea to sign up for the Life Track Program. I figured it would last about a week or so and then I would not do anything with it. That's when it all hit me. I am not happy with myself and that was the main reason I was feeling this way.
So the first thing I did was give up soda pop, which if you know me I always had a soda with me. I was not looking forward to the caffeine headache for the next 3 days but it was so wierdd I only had one headache. I also subsituted drinking alot of water for whatever reason it was like my body wanted the water more then anything else. I maintained drinking a lot of water. I cant stand the water that we have at are house. So we buy the packs from costco I have been drinking at least a 1/3 of the case of water a day and I am still doing it. The next thing I decided is well it is a nice day so I will try to go for a walk and I did. When I got home my leg was killing me. Which then I got the thought in my head I will not do that again. The next day there was something that kept telling me get up and go for a walk or turn on the fit channel and do a workout. I have been doing it just for little over two weeks since all this has started. I told Chris that I will not buy a scale cause your weight can go up and down some much that it would just make me want to quit. Well I bought one... I told myself that I will only weigh myself once a week. So the other day I decided to get on it and see to see if anything happened. But I was shocked I have lost 4.5lbs. I was so excited that I kept to something and was able to see results. I am eating healthier with no junk food. No munching through the day. And I have been constant to my exercising and I am feeling the best that I have felt in I could not tell you how long. So I guess why I titled this blog Mind over matter is this is the first time I have stuck to something and look to forward to whatever happens, and the only thing that matter is I am happy!!!!!!
