Daily Vlog- Day #71

Sorry the sound quality is a bit shotty at the end...I'm not sure why my camera does that sometimes. But I think you can still hear me.

Please, please, PLEASE read my blog post if you're interested in the reasoning behind my new decisions. Go here:

I hate TOM! Forget you Mother Nature! Ever since I had kids I cannot find time to read. My parents used to both read just before bed so they could get some reading time in. Now I understand why they would read every night.

I think it is very smart of you to give up the end date to your journey. I think setting time goals can be so de-motivating.

@jullpete I'm beginning to think that giving up the "Goal Date" on my journey was a great idea. I literally feel like a lot of un-needed pressure is now off my shoulders. Whew! I guess I was worried about the decision because I felt like those of you that watch would be disappointed in some way...??? Oh well. Like I said, this is MY journey so I do it for me and I do it how it WORKS for me.

You really do seem to have been putting a lot of pressure on yourself and feeling additional pressure to be "perfect" for us (subscribers). The thing is I don't want to see a totally unmaintainable journey just as much as you can't live your life that way either. We are just here, joining you in your journey, which is going to have high points and a few low points, and no matter what, you are still a total inspiration because you have come so far and still work so hard.

I LOVE your vlogs :)

@ChannelizeMe I know. Where did this idea of being "perfect" come from? I don't know why I made myself feel that way. Its not you guys (the subscribers) at all...its my own twisted head making me feel this way. Thank you for watching and supporting though. I appreciate it more than you might know.

I think that you come across MUCH better than you think you do, because I totally understand what you mean when you are changing the way you are thinking and not neccessarily what you are doing. The way you think means EVERYTHING...and it's great that you are so in-tune to that, because it is so important to take the time to analyze that crap we feed ourselves mentally. You're doing so great girly! Do NOT worry about other people. This IS YOUR JOURNEY! And I'm routing for ya either way!!!

@cmroudebush After watching the video response you posted on my other video I have to say that I really think you do understand what I'm saying and I feel like most of the people watching understand as well. I think it was mainly me feeling this undue pressure on myself for literally, NO REASON AT ALL. But thank you so much for listening and encouraging. :)

@MissJulieJanee Hahaha! That's hilarious. ;) And that's good to know. I'll stay away from them. Hoping this is the last problem you have with it for a LONG time!

[cmroudebush]

No problem! Here for ya chicky!

[myshel988]

@MissJulieJanee LOL! I know that feeling! An while people often say I have skinny legs my inner thighs are super jiggly & gross! I hate them!!!

[MissJulieJanee]

@BudgetBridgette Wow. Thank you. hahaha (Rob always said it was my eyes and my booty that caught his attention! hahahaa) Yeah car issues SUCK. I'm so sick and tired of it. Just don't ever purchase a PT Cruiser...thats the car I have and they BLOW!

[MissJulieJanee]

@monski1989 LOL Yep, I've had that SAME THING said about me. My friends with these super skinny chicken legs that I would KILL for are like, "Oh my gosh, you're legs are so strong and muscular...I wish I had them!" I'm like....um, yeah you DO NOT want these legs, I WANT YOURS! lol hahahaha And thus is the issue with us women, we're never happy enough with ourselves.

@SoxHeather This entire journey has been nothing but a HUGE learning experience. I've tried a lot of things and learned some work and some don't. Thats why I always stress that anyone who is trying to lose weight needs to find what works for THEM. They can't just watch me here in these vlogs and say, "I'm going to do what she does" and think that it'll work for them too...thats not how it works. IT IS an evolution which is jam packed with lessons along the way.
