15 March 2016

I am up three pounds but not stressing over it. Considering what I have been dealing with over the last two weeks and being sleep dreprived it's a surprise of course but I can turn this around.

This the time for rebirth, regeneration, renewal, transformation and metamorphism. The time has changed the cold weather is finally over and I can see the sun on my way home from work. I love this time of year. Now it's on me to get up and get moving again in the am. I have been doing sunrise to sunset fasting and I am coming into the final days (40 day fast) I admit I have not had no cravings for sugar and of course only eating fish and vegetables for 40 days gives you a new outlook. My weight may be up but my spirit is flying higher than my weight right now.

I am going to try Yoga tomorrow morning and getting back into nightly meditations by 8 pm. (Hey I did Tai Chi for six months and had a blast.)

Offical weigh in for me tomorrow. I logged into night touch base with my buddies. If I have not gotten to everyone I will. I have been out of the site for awhile working and lack of sleep due to noisy neighbors. I did go walking on treadmill Saturday. I had to dust of the teadmill in the gym where I live. I guess no one has used it much since I was in their last. (I can tell you out of shape and muscles are sore). I am getting back into the swing of things. Found a new church a couple of blocks from my home so I will be walking to church now no more 50 mile trips to church right now my car is showing her age. Gotta give the girl a break on the weekends and stay closer to home. (Carrying extra bag with sneakers to walk there an back on Sunday morning. Grateful that my arthritis is not bothering and praying for strength to get me there and back every Sunday.)I am glad the cold weather is gone and adjusting to the time change will take me a week or two but I love coming home when the sun is still up.

Lent is coming to an end soon so will my sunrise to sunset fasting come to an end. It's been hard and had a few days where I had to give into soup instead of water for lunch due to work load, but I'm coming into the home stretch now and feeling good, clear, and focused. Trying to stay calm and peaceful but had to call the police on my noisy neighbors last night, could not take it anymore the walls vibrating and quietest place was my bathroom.

Spoke to Management today and they told me that I should have informed them upon the first situation as they don't want to loose another good tenant and if they get one more complaint about noisy neighbors they will give them notice to pack up and move out as they prefer to keep good tenants.

Quite for now so I'm going to get some sleep now. Weigh in tomorrow morning. Good night all.

07 March 2016

I have been a way from the computer for the last 20 days and boy do I have emails up to yin yang. I have had multiple challenges in my life since January. I have maintained to eating 3 pieces of fruit a day. I started a sunrise to sunset fast that begin on February 10 - March 15. Effective as of today's date I actually sat right next to a sheet cake and had no desire to even taste it. I know that my weight gain was me eating my feelings of being mistreated, dealing with slanderous lies from co-workers, and neighbors who are just plain inconsiderate.

In my last journal I wrote about not being able to sleep because of my neighbors. I tried talking to them no go. I purchased the white noise machine which helped a little, but when Music forced me to sleep in bath tub. The kid gloves came off and I repeatedly called the police three times in one night. I am not sure what the police told them but it's been quite for 3 nights now. I don't like going to these extremes, but enough is enough.

I started reading daily scriptures and meditation. Effective as of today's date I started reading TD Jakes "Instinct" to help me get back my motivation to workout every morning. The weather is starting to get warmer so I can go back to 4:00 am workouts.

Thank you all who commenting on my last journal and I am working my way back on to the FAT Secret highway. To my buddies don't give up the battle and keep going strong. I was reminded on Sunday morning that I need to surrender all of my issues to a higher authority and move forward with my battle against weight this year.

I want to be the change I see in the world how about you.

Comments wanted and freely accepted.

Thanks for the suggestions I have extreme gratitude for all of your help. I saw a white noise machine last weekend and I will go back to the store on Friday and buy one. I turned my radio on at 2:00 am and tuned it to K-Love Radio (Inspirational contemporary christian radio, but I kept the volume low enough for me to hear as I have neighbors above and below me that I am considerate of) at least I got two hours sleep before tornado warning alerts went off. I will call the management office today and try to talk to the person in charge and inquire about the noise agreement. Management has been having problems with some tents living here since September of 2015. Unfortunately because of the room layout I am unable to move my bed to the opposite wall and it's bad Feng Shui for a bathroom door to be directly across the middle of your bed. (Reason it states that during your sleep your body is cut in half and restful sleep aids in the healing of all your body cells.) I have been watching the movie "The War Room" which basically states that their is a prayerful solution to every problem. I am appealing to a higher authority while putting all of your suggestions into action steps. Gotta get moving now to do bike workout before work. Much love and gratitude to you all. Have a great day.

I really stressed out. It's 2:10 am and I can't sleep. I have the neighbors from hell. My bedroom wall is also their living room and they come home at 11:00 pm every night argue,play loud music or have friend over and party Monday-Friday. I am too tired to work out at 4:00 am any longer and I have to be at work at 8:30 and focus on accounting. I have tried talking to them and I have been told you need to sleep in another room. I don't want to call the police as this will only make the problem worse. It's getting worse and I can't afford to move.

I am not eating junk food,I don't drink or smoke and my weight is still going up. I so tired that I come home eat a little something and try to go to bed before 8 just so I can get a few hours of sleep before they come home. I have tried ear plugs no help. I don't want to start taking sleep pills as I don't believe in drug but something gotta give.

I requested to go to lunch at 11:00 am at work so I could walk the path in the park again. So badly out of shape that I could only make it around the path once.

Open to suggestions
