Originally uploaded by *Betti* Here's to a wonderful 12 weeks of learning (even by my own mistakes). I have enjoyed this time. I did not aim too high to maintain consistency. I also did not want the stress and guilt of not reaching a high goal to cause depression. But you know, I have really surprised...ok...SHOCKED myself at how much I have done. I have learned a valuable lesson that if "its" not in the house...you won't eat it. Whatever your "it" is, I've learned that healthy alternatives are key. My goal in the beginning of the twelve weeks were to simply be able to button my pants and I'am proud to announce.........I CAN!

Love you guys! You are the best! Thankyou AHA for everything! And thanks for all the CYBER CHEER!

PS. I think I might stick around for awhile! :-)

I think we all have at some point in our lives. At that moment there is a mixture of excitement and a little fear. Fear of what? one might ask. Perhaps its the fear of failure, change, the unknown, lack of control, or a combination of them all. http://choosetomoveblog.com/lisa/2007/05/fear_of_the_unknown.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/lisa/2007/05/fear_of_the_unknown.php Sat, 19 May 2007 22:28:10 -0600 We Made It!

A two day trip with 22 hours of road traveling.....I'm happy to say we have made it safe. I used alot of helpful tips from AHA to help me avoid the pitfalls of less healthy eating while on the road. I had my share of a few fastfood places...boohoo... but I did incorporate fruit, veggies, nuts, and water while traveling. I have been hitting the treadmill since we have arrived and I actually like it! WHAT! ME! Wow...that's all I can say is...wow. It feels good to be back in cyberspace. It feels like I've been gone forever. and you know what else???...ONE MORE WEEK TO GO!!!!

Originally uploaded by BayerNYC. Just a little note to thank everyone for their support! For all of the "you can do it's, you go girl, wow, thats great". And for all of the good, sound advice. And for meeting such great women with a shared interest in a healthier lifestyle. I know the program is not over yet but I just feel mushy! It's my last day at work and goodbye's get me like this. I feel so grateful! Everyone in the CTM program offered something unique and I'm truly grateful. This group of ladies certainly offer a variety of laughter, honesty, and support. This may be a premature salute...but in my book...we've already won!
Here's to Kara, Vernita, Melanie, Kathleen, Ruann, Zulema, all the choose to move ladies who have joined us or supported us, and... me!

What I need. want. But seem to miss the mark.
WATER! or the lack thereof.

I've put everything in it that I possibly could...lemon, sweet powdery substances, glitter, sparkles, blue diamonds, green clovers...ok ok Lisa...but really I just don't drink enough water. I've even had to make it the only thing in the house! Its starting to be one of two choices in the fridge. Either drink it or die of thirst. With the weather warming up and with all this activity, I know it is very important. I think I've been so obsessed with my step monitor that I've neglected this vital key in overall health. I will try to have balance and remember all the things that work together for a balanced, healthy life.

Originally uploaded by lisadhammond.

If that saying, "you are what you eat" is true, then let's see if I can figure out what I'm. Before Choose To Move, I was a supersized french fry and a fried chicken leg. I don't want to forget about being a big buttery biscuit as well. Now I think I'm a little less grease with alot more salad and nuts. I was probably "nuts" before the program. I've eaten so much salad, I think I'm growing bunny ears! I've even been able to eat my salads while here in Hawaii! Now I can't say I've not had my share of chicken strips and fries but nothing is better than a pineapple in Hawaii!

After reading information on fast food, I have decided that if I MUST eat it then I really should keep my portions small. Its amazing how in some places, a whole meal is less calories than a burger by itself. Oh well, no more supersize fries for me!
