The Infamous Seesaw

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Jump Off the Seesaw of Indecision ~Quiana Childress

It is better to make the wrong decision than spend years sitting on the fence of indecision. At least with the wrong decision, one can realize the mistake and quickly right a wrong. This can only push you closer to achieving your goals.

DAY 2: KICKIN’ THE HABIT!

It’s Day #2 of my weight-loss journey, and I am already feeling the urge to revert back to my old ways. Doesn’t that always seem to happen? As soon as you make up your mind to do something different, old habits try to kick back in your thoughts. For instance, when I went grocery shopping today, all of the pastries and comfort food seemed to whisper my name as I pushed my cart. They told me that they missed me already and wanted to be friends again.

It seems like a force greater than yourself tugs at the inner strings that are connected to all of your desires. For me, the very temptation of reverting back makes me feel guilty, ashamed and weak. Has this ever happened to you? You start something new, and it seems like everything out of the woods come out to attack you.

Despite everything, I will continue to move past those things that do not serve my best interest. Because the desire to achieve my goals and change my life, it is stronger than any temptation to fall back into my old ways. I’m better, stronger, and I have a great support team full of friends, family, and an awesome boyfriend who strengthens me even in my darkest hour.

As, I push past Day #2, I leave you with a poem that I wrote to help remind me of the dangers of old habits. It keeps me focused on my goals, and I hope that it will do the same for you.

Day 1: JUST START!

The hardest thing to do when changing any part of your life, especially losing weight, is just starting!

Over the past year, when my body and weight scale screamed “help,” I would give myself pep talks about finally starting the journey to getting back to a healthier, more fit me.

If you’ve ever ridden on this seesaw, then you know that it goes similar to this:

Night before- “I’M GOING TO DO THIS!”

Afternoon of next day: “Well…maybe, tomorrow”

Early morning after tomorrow: (as you read the numbers on the scale) “I’M DETERMINED TO DO THIS!”

Next day: “Well…let me just get through this weekend. I’ll start on Monday.”

I’ve been down that road several times on this weight-loss journey. Somehow, that Monday never arrived, and I found myself in this never ending mental battle full of confusion, disappointment and despair.

Eventually, you have to take a stand, and make a decision to just start. 

So, today, I’m ending the battle. No, it’s not Monday but the Friday before a big weekend. No, it’s not early in the morning upon rising but 4:44 pm in the afternoon.  No, I have not gone grocery shopping, and there is nothing stopping me from going to Costco tomorrow. No more excuses and procrastination! I’m winning the war by starting my weight-loss journey, NOW!

As I head to the kitchen to make a smoothie, I leave you with this poem that I wrote in celebration of my decision to just start right now. I hope that you enjoy it. Comment below letting me know if my Just Start poem helped you start something (whether weight-loss or not) today!

Hello, World! My name is QUIANA, and THIS IS ME TODAY!

Within the last year, I’ve made some major changes in my life while enduring some almost insurmountable odds. Last year, over 1,300 miles and a 32 hour drive through a blissful wintry mix, I had finally arrived in Phoenix, Arizona.

Breathing the fresh air of new possibilities with a new career direction, Phoenix soon proved to be a challenge as I reached this

 

very quickly. 

As my problems piled higher than a New York City dumpster,

so did my weight. Now, a year, a loving, supportive boyfriend, and 60 lbs. later, I am ready to shed the dead weight and fearlessly step into my long-time dream of writing and speaking. I’m reclaiming my life through my BodyQMC (Quiana’s Motivational Challenge) 10-week plan of body sculpting exercises, individually tailored meal plans, and #POWETRY!

With the turn of each week, my meals and exercises will change. Also, to hold myself accountable, I will be uploading new posts and videos almost daily tracking my progress. 

Feel free to join me in these next 10 weeks in dropping the heavy weight and staying motivated through poetry!
