A Place To Start


Motivational Outfit 


I have been in a very poor physical and mental place for the last 5 years, maybe even longer. My mental state with all other things is good, but the body image and issues are causing me such a level of anxiety and I'm done with it.

To post this picture.... it is stepping so far out of my comfort zone. I'm not comfortable in my skin, so being comfortable in these pictures and posting such vulnerability is definitely not going to make me any more comfortable. I'm at the point of, 'suck it up buttercup!'

I am going to take a picture at the beginning of every month to see how I'm progressing in getting it to this outfit. I love it. It was cheap ($9.00), so it's not a lot of money on the line. It's my determination, dedication and focus on achieving what I have let get away from me. More on that story and saga in future posts.

Stay tuned for updates and challenges.

Small Steps

I have been in a bit of a flux with working out and moving my body in ways that will help me lose some of this gawd-awful weight I have put on over the last 13-14 years.  I know what to do, but 95% of the time I don't do it.    I have run half marathons 6 times and I am completely out of that mindset.  I would wake up early, push and focus on the end goal.   I fell off the wagon and can't seem to catch up mentally or physically with my weight or my lack of drive and direction.   I got out of my funk a wee bit and I did a walk/run treadmill session for the first time in ages.  It's funny how your mind reacts to your body's response.  I dreaded the idea of it, but I pushed through.  I felt like Superman!  It was a wonderful feeling.  The endorphins flowed and as little that I did run, I felt so proud of myself.    I am going to take this journey 1 step at a time. 1 meal at a time.  1 good day followed by anoth...

Weigh In Loss

My Friday morning WI with WW and I'm down 2.4lbs as you can see from my graphic.   I have tried to find balance in my eating, work outs and life.  Eat the cake and hit the treadmill.   Enjoy the little moments in life that are focused around food and people and still find the commitment to myself and my goal of losing weight and being healthy.   Until next time,  ~Tammy đź’•

August Goal Outfit Update

Image
Where did the month of July go?    WOW!  Having so much fun living the Covid-19 life over here - NOT.   I am trying to keep myself motivated and keep moving.   This motivational outfit was purchased for the following reasons and rationalizations:  It was on clearance for $9.00  I love good deals and couldn't pass it up  I want to wear it on a cruise.  When that cruise will happen no one knows.  I was doubtful when I started this blog to journal my thoughts, challenges and victories.  I know, as of right now there has not been a single comment, to my journey. I'm not doing this for the public accolades, but I place to have a photo journal of how far I have come and how much I am willing to do for myself and the person I know is hiding under all that extra weight.   The July photo shows the outfit and some extra bit of back fat.  I wasn't able to move the zipper at all in July.  I hadn't thought the month...
