WinivereP.S. Yesterday was January 6th. It was Three Kings Day. What did the Kings bring you?! I tried to get to the grocery store to get some Three Kings Day Rosca, tamales, and Abuelita chocolate, but the market was too crowded and there was no place to park. I did find a new pair of shoes and a gas station with gas @ $2.03/gallon. Once again, I have been deprived of dessert~ no dessert on Thanksgiving, no dessert on Christmas, no dessert on New Year's, no dessert on Three Kings Day. No wonder I am still craving something sweet!

Those are two great lists and what a wonderful idea to make them!! It helps put things into perspective and focus on the things that need the most attention. I may steal your idea and make some of my own tomorrow for my fridge. Thanks Win, for your ever constant words of wisdom in my life :)
Pooh Hugs,

Hey Win,
This was a good entry. I really think that you should try yoga. It will help you how to breathe and learn good posture. You will be amazed. Before you work on the outside of your body, you should quiet the inside and prepare yourself mentally for your weight loss journey.
I also recommend a lot of walking. But you already know that. Walk up and down your street, or around your school.
Everyone will trip up and make mistakes, but the key is not beating yourself up over it and getting back on track. And please stop feeling embarrassed. There are a lot of people in your shoes or way worse.
What matters is that you keep trying. At least you haven't given up. And you should be proud of yourself for that.
P.S: You are an amazing woman. If you can survive a major automobile accident, be told by doctors that you'll never walk and end up WALKING, then you are definitely strong enough to accomplish your weightloss goals. That's all I have to say.
