what do you want? really want? are you not going all out for what you want because of what someone else might think about you? is your pride preventing you from gettin out on that fragile limb? what is holding you back?

do you ask rather than tell? what are you waiting for? so many ask ... "please help...please support.... instead of declaring .."this is what I am doing!"

what are YOU doing?

Welcome!

    I don't care what other people think about me. It's MY life, not theirs & I plan to live it healthier & happier this year.
    Tonight I will be smoking my last cigarette:smokin: & plan to kick my exercise routine into high gear next week.

    I want to be good enough for someone! I want to be more then "the friend" just once!

    I would like to keep my job, but I only foresee this happening for the next year. For now I'll stick with becoming fit, healthy, finishing school, and learning to scuba dive.

    I joined my gym in April so I could Spin and kickbox and do a lot of things that my previous gym didn't offer.

    Spinning turned out to be fun and I decided that i wanted to order the padded pants so it would be more comfortable. I spin twice a week and needed several pairs, and I figured that I anyway have chubby thighs and won't look thin, I may as well have fun. I ordered the crazy colors and prints and enjoyed wearing them.

    When I asked my health insurance for my gym reimbursement, as I do every 6 months, I decided to get measured, since I hadn't been measured for a year.

    Darned if I hadn't lost FIVE inches on EACH thigh, enough that I don't look ridiculous in my colorful spinning clothes.

    I got to have my cake and eat it too.

  • This year I set out to become a runner. Having never ran in my life I started slow. Tonight will be my 2nd 5K and next year I am shooting for a half marathon. I can do anything I set my mind to do.

    I really want to use proper grammar and punctuation, especially capitalizing the first letter of every sentence. And then after that, I want to learn French, go to Paris, and rappel down the Eiffel Tower.

    You are good enough for anybody!!!! If they only want to be friends then maybe they're not good enough for you!!!

    I want to stop hiding, feeling less than, not wanting someone to get close because of thoughts of them feeling I wasn't worth it and wanting to leave when they really get to know me, having to prove myself.

    I knew what my best figure was, and I just want to go back to it again (or at least go near it, to the weight I had been having since my height stopped growing).
    It's healthier to have a fit body, too!

    I want to not have to hide my body because I'm embarassed and I am making progress towards that goal. I am diligent in my food intakes and exercise, something I have not been for a very long time. I have a long way to go, but I will be the person who motivates others and not the other way around.

    I wanted to be a sound engineer now I am, that'll show all those old techs telling me "it takes a certain kind of person to do this job" in a tone of voice that suggests I'm not it. I wanted to lose weight, now I have (but only because I made good friends with exercise).

    Punctuation woman, I love you (in a purely platonic way), someone has to keep the intricacies of the written English language alive!! (Besides me of course :-P )
  • I'm going to prove to myself and to the people that put me down this year (sister-in-law) that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I'm in control of my own destiny.
