"You Are So Strong!!"

April 23, 2012.......

     Every day my eyes open I reach over, grab the sheets, then I say "Thank you Lord, I am here another day!!"  Every single day I wake up, I literally reach over, touch the sheets and say "Thank you Lord, I am here another day!!"



"To Thine Self Be True!!"

"Radiate!"

April 18, 2012......


Radiate 1. to extend, spread, or move like rays or radii from a center.  2.  to emit rays, as of light or heat; irradiate.  3.  to project or glow with cheerfulness, joy, etc.  3.  having rays extending from a central point or part.

     Have you ever met someone that is the epitome of radiance?  I have the pleasure of being blessed with someone in my life that exudes radiant rays from her center, her core is a beam of light that glows with heat that's warm and cozy.  Her presence is angelic, I feel a spirit of peace when I'm around her, I thank God daily for bringing her into my life.

I am so thankful today that I have two legs and two feet to walk with.  I think sometimes we take the simple act of walking for granted like if it's not so special, yet walking literally is one of the healthiest, most safest exercise there is to do.

Walk!!

I'm tired right now, will talk more tomorrow......til then Good Night!

"Take Control of Your Life Today!!"

April 16, 2012......

We have the ability to make choices in our life, the challenge is in the doing, getting up and deciding that we are important enough, loving enough to say yes to life.  We must intensely be purposeful with our drive to do better when it comes to our health.  We must drive ourselves with an unwavering commitment to be successful in our lives daily.  We can't allow complacency to be the enemy of living our best life now.  If we make the decision to daily do what we know works best for our bodies it will yield the results we desire to achieve.  The key is persistence, passion, and motivation.  Find that thing that motivates you and passionately go in the direction you want to go.  You may not see results right away but every day persistence will grant you the desires of your heart.  You must find what motivates you, and I don't care what it is, whether it's a bird singing outside in the early morning hours or an infomercial.

"Bleeding Hearts!!"

April 14, 2012......

Tis that time of the year when we plant the flowers in the garden and this year I have some beautiful bleeding hearts growing in my garden.  I love that flower, it's just beautiful.  Have you ever had your heart in your body feel like it's bleeding for real?  Walking wounded......that's what I call it.  The thing is you can feel like your heart is open wide, needing a surgeon to come and stitch you up, and you look around and everyone else goes on with their lives, could care less if you're walking wounded or not, you better get some ointment, cleanse the wound, grab a couple of bandages and keep it moving.

Today was a beautiful day, the weather was spot on....I took a leap of faith and dabbled in a couple of things, feels real good.

Loving you more than forever, and forever more I'll always love you.......

"Yes!!"

April 12, 2012.....

OMG!!  Oh My God....I did it!!  I put in that dvd and I got to gettin....Now I didn't do the entire 45 minutes but I did do 30 minutes, and for Lolita, in the shape I'm currently in, this is a major milestone, and I just got to say Thank You......

I don't know how I am going to feel tomorrow physically, but I do know that right now I feel delicious, shoot, I feel scrumptious, I know my husband could sop me up with a biscuit, ha ha ha!!

Anyway, I'm tired.  I will not repeat yesterday, I didn't go to sleep at all.  So, Goodnight, pleasant dreams, sleep tight and don't let the boogey man bite.

"Citation!!!"

April 11, 2012.......

     This notice goes out to Lolita Jackson, you have been issued a citation by the Supreme Court of the Law of the Universe....Lolita you are hearby notified that if you don't make a U-Turn and take the Road Less Traveled to an awakening of your natural inheritance of peace, prosperity, health, and love. You will be in violation of the "Law of Attraction" and said violation will put you in subjection to "Sickness & Dis-Ease!!"

   You Go Sherri!!!  Wow, did you hear what Sherri Shephard said last night when she was voted off dancing with the stars while she was balling her eyes out?  Sherri said "that thing that scares you the most, that makes you say I don't know if I can do it I'm scared, run towards it because it's so amazing on the other side!!"

I AM THERE RIGHT NOW!!  RUNNING TOWARD FEAR!!  I'm terrified, I have no idea how to do what it is that I want to do.  I'm not really sure of what it is that I want to do.  All I know, is that change has come.  It's time to change everything in my life.  I can't and will not continue down the path that I've been on for as long as I can remember.  Frankly speaking, the path that I call destruction.  I have been my worst enemy, most critical critic, and stinkiest thinker when it comes to Lolita and what she is deserving and worthy of.  I used to think that I was born taking care of other people.  I now realize that my putting others in front of myself and that unyielding desire to be this nauseating, people pleasing puke is learned and will probably be hard as hell to un-learn, rewind and erase the tapes, the words, and the behavior that says as long as it's for someone else it somehow makes it okay to ignore myself and at the same time if I'm so busy putting others' needs, wants and desires before my own, it excuses and absolves me of any and all responsibility where I'm concerned.  It's easier to say I just don't have time to do myself.   Now I don't have a choice.  I take that back, I do have a choice, today I choose to make the right choices concerning my life.  I feel like a kid in a candy store, I can choose what I want, the hard part is putting in the work to get it!!

I have to work at losing 100 pounds.  Yes, I said it......It finally came out of my mouth, I have 100 pounds to lose, now that's scary!!  The first question is how?  How does a person lose 100 pounds?  I know that I must have a plan, right?  So, I do have a plan.....The plan is to put one foot in front of the other and get off my butt and walk, walk, walk, walk, walk.  The next step is nutrition and portion control, then I have to drink lots and lots of water to flush my system out.  I am also going to cleanse my system with some detox tea and hold on for dear life........Next, I must exercise with weight training and resistance.  I know I must sound like a broken record to some of you, I sound like one to myself a little, but I will keep saying it until it finally comes into fruition, until I see it come from out of the spoken word, the unseen, to the "BE" like Jesus, "Light BE" & "Light Is"...................

I bought a fat loss & bmi monitor last night and the results were startling!!  Scared the shit out of me honestly (sorry!!) but it did.  My fat percentage was over 44%, while my bmi levels were over 37%.  I just stood in my bedroom and shook my head, not in disbelief but, I guess I was just numb, just numb.  The calibrator didn't lie, it's up to me to decide what I am going to do about it?  Now that I know, what am I going to do about it?  How can I do anything other than what would be considered a healthy choice?  I can't, right?  I have put myself on notice, it's time for Lolita to make the choice to change.......


Sincerely,


Lo Lo

"The Agony Of The Ecstasy!!"

April 10, 2012...........


     In order for me to be a "Walking Woman That Wins!!" I find that I have to take the bitter with the sweet.  I have to endure the agony of the pains that my body feels when I put it to the test of endurance to run the race and finish the course that will net me the results of success when I reach my goals.  The funny thing is that I haven't really gotten started the way I want to yet and the thought of it is giving me the heebie geebies, however; I'm ready!!

I'm tired tonight, literally exhausted, it's been a long day........
