Chosing Success

Did anyone catch the first episode of "Losing it with Jillian Michaels"? I didn't seek it out but I happened upon it while at the gym and thought it could provide some much needed motivation. Mission accomplished. Although most of that motivation came after I left the gym.


There was a time in the episode when Jillian was talking to one of the family members and she said,"Why would you chose failure when success is an option?"


I've been thinking about that a lot the few days and reminding myself that success IS an option. I know how to lose weight. If I can lose 10 pounds, I can lose 100 pounds. It is the same formula!




Why would I chose to ease up on my workouts or to eat more calories than I should? Where does that get me?

Each time I make a decision to eat a healthy snack or to get out and move my body, I'm going to remind myself that this is a step towards success. A healthy weight is obtainable...and its going to be mine! :)

You're absolutely right. And thank you for the timely reminder. Just the other day I was sitting here thinking "this is too much hard work" and I came close to giving up.

We CAN do this!

Yay! It's letting me comment! lol

Awesome post!!! I am going to copy Jillian's quote and your thoughts "success IS an option. I know how to lose weight. If I can lose 10 pounds, I can lose 100 pounds. It is the same formula!" and post it on both my fridge and my pantry!!! ( :

Unfortunately, seeing as I am a HUGE Biggest Loser fan, I missed out on Jillian's new show and I even forgot to set the dvr. ) : The good part is that I was working out when it was playing so at least I missed it for a good reason! lol Hopefully, I can catch it next week.

Thank you so much for motivating me!!!

Hello All

Hello there...as mentioned in the previous post. I am ShaReece, SherRon's sister. She asked me if I would guest blog. I am not a blogger and have never done this in my life, but...here goes. A little about me. I am 25 years old and have been trying to promote a healthier lifestyle since last January. My starting weight was 232 lbs. My current weight is 172 lbs!! YEAH! SherRon and I have some things in common like: we share the gene pool, innate poor eating habits, love of pretty shoes and desire to lose weight and become more healthy. However, in all other ways, we are polar opposites. I have a LOVE for working out (Zumba, TurboKick, Hip Hop Hustle, most sports). I have a total different body shape as well that SherRon has often referred to as "built like a football player." This lovingly means that I have no hips or butt. When asked about my body shape I call it brick of cheese. Note pictures below. Well... is there anything else you want to know about me? Or anything ab

Hello World.

That is usually the title of the first blog post you get when you start a new WordPress blog. I feel like it is  appropriate for this post because I feel like this is [going to be] a whole new blog. While I'm still the same person with the same history, I'm completely different. Having a child has flipped my life on its head and I'm better for it, but different none the less. My motivation for being healthy has changed. My goals are different. My free time is VERY limited. Deep down, I'm a blogger. Writing has always helped me to see things a bit more clearly. Instead of looking at my time on this site as something I *have* to do, I plan to use it as something to help me turn into the person I want to. I saw a tweet the other day that said "Think of the person you want your children to become, now be that person." I wish I could remember who said it so I could give them credit. If it was you, let me know.  I've started eating healthier,

CSN Gift Card Giveaway

Do you guys remember way back in June when I told you to look forward to a review and a giveaway from CSN stores? Well, that day has finally arrived. The hardest part about this giveaway was choosing what I wanted. There are so many items in so many stores! They carry everything from dining tables , to fitness equipment, to shoes and accessories. I browsed through many, many different stores but kept going back to the shoe section. (Can you blame me?) Being a good weight loss blogger I would have purchased something in the health and fitness section, but where is the fun in being good all the time? After several hours pouring over the different shoes, I picked a pair and submitted my order. Immediately afterward I got an email telling me my order had been received and that it would ship from the warehouse within two days. The first day came and went with no news from the store. The second day I received an email telling me they were checking with the warehouse to see why my item had no
