My Journey

Hello. I'm Gini. Welcome to my page.

I have been with Sparkpeople for a few years and although I have learned so much, I have yet to put that knowledge into practice. I think I kept waiting for a sign or something to happen that would signal me that it was time to start. If I had taken control earlier I could have reached my weight loss goal and be so much healthier already.

Hello. I'm Gini. Welcome to my page.

I have been with Sparkpeople for a few years and although I have learned so much, I have yet to put that knowledge into practice. I think I kept waiting for a sign or something to happen that would signal me that it was time to start. If I had taken control earlier I could have reached my weight loss goal and be so much healthier already.

I know when, where, how and why I am doing this and now is my time. I have set long and short term goals, I have cleared my kitchen of unhealthy foods and have prepared a fitness schedule.

I could wait for the New Year to begin , but as today is the first day of the rest of my life, as I have heard, today is a GREAT day.So , as of December 26, 2012, I am on my way to a healthier me.

I will reset my Spark account on December 31/12 to reflect my weight beginning that day as Monday is my weekly weigh in day. I have decided to set up weight loss rewards along the way for every 10 lbs lost. I have a lot to lose so my first long term weight goal is to lose 50 lbs by October 26, 2013. From there I will re evaluate.I will post my weight on this page each MOnday as an incentive to keep going. I have listed my planned program and rewards on the sidebar and will give a big Shout Out as goals are met.There will be 20 lbs lost photos along the way so that I never forget where I started this journey and I won't forget,

" If it is to be, It is up to Me.

I've been to Whitby, England and I loved it. They have the best fish and chips in the world!

"Three of the most powerful words in the English language are 'I AM RESPONSIBLE.' It's tough to do, but when the day comes that you can say those words, believe them, and mean them, it will be the most liberating moment of your life. Taking responsibility for all of your results, for better or for worse, is taking back your power to create results in your life."
-Tom Venuto
