The challenge I embarked upon June 2009 has been one of brutally introspective moments facing shame, accusation, and finally absolution. But primarily it was a journey filled with reward and enlightment. Today it strenghtens me to realize I accomplished a great task and NEVER GAVE UP!Even today in 2011Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.comBlogger184125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-19455054441022572152014-05-31T21:42:00.001-07:002014-05-31T21:58:07.809-07:00Reminder of the blessings<div>Started my day with being thankful that I work so close to home.

I woke up this morning with such a different idea of what and how I should live my life. I finally understand the meaning of the words live intently that means you take every moment every day and determine what you're going to do don't let the day where the pressures or work for people determine how you're going to feel what you're going to do the schedule your day out and you accomplish a better that way. Started off by getting up a little bit earlier instead of the seventh snooze. I had prepared my lunch attire to walk outside and then also have my extra scrubs available.</div><div>I have only one hour the day that's completely secured as I'm not destined to do something about one hour is my lunch hour where patients leave out of the office and I'm available to go to lunch I have determined to make the best of that one hour now.</div><div>I will go to the park I am praying tomorrow to hitch my bike up to the back of my car and go down to Mulberry Park and start writing my bike at lunchtime. </div><div>I will allot enough time to get back to the office and eat my lunch and obviously a change of clothes in the necessary stuff I need to do to be fresh for work.</div><div>Then with this new schedule I can determine that I do have time to exercise. I have always been drawn to nature to the outdoors because of the freedom that the outdoors gives you to clear your head your mind your heart. The outdoors has always been my healing point and going to the park and walking or doing whatever like riding bikes or just sitting down and observing nature has always giving me a sense of peace. </div><div>So I'm going to take advantage schedule my day out appropriately make dinner at home and give my family the best. I have totally change my attitude towards work where I know it's a necessity but it's not the consumption of my day ,time,energy,spirit, motivation, and family life. I will learn to live intently every day and make it a purpose to live life with a new feeling of what is healthy, what is: intently living instead of just getting by and letting life consequences live my life for me.</div><div>Pumped. </div></div><div><br></div><img src="webkit-fake-url://6001D9C2-33C9-4978-96C4-0EE4C975CBD8/imagejpeg"><img src="webkit-fake-url://EE13C5DA-B27D-4CE5-A11E-54E6EC013F53/imagejpeg"><div>Panoramic view @ lunch</div><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://FADBEE72-2C95-40A9-A7AA-B184BA626599/imagejpeg" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Second go round- this evening with kids</div><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://CFA4A79D-704A-4CC9-85E9-A13C31A1718A/imagejpeg"><img src="webkit-fake-url://BC78408F-F1DB-4E28-B6CF-2DFABB335BA0/imagejpeg"><img src="webkit-fake-url://25DA6622-DF8E-4438-9DAD-CAB1A40840B5/imagejpeg"></div><div><br></div><div>Evening panoramic </div><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://F917C5DA-C3D8-4AD0-86DC-B30DB7919DC4/imagejpeg"></div></div><div><br></div>Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-50508669176099124992013-10-22T16:49:00.001-07:002013-10-22T16:49:33.470-07:00I expect someone or something to bring me to reality to tell me strong and make me stronger again but I know it's only me I can fight this fight only I can change the experience Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-20291519166490816912013-10-22T16:48:00.001-07:002013-10-22T16:48:42.198-07:00I haven't been able to pinpoint what makes me happy or makes me sad it's like the emotions have gone away lostRaquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-24947504266128265202013-10-22T16:47:00.003-07:002013-10-22T16:47:58.387-07:00I feel lost I feel confused I feel utterly weak at times and then defiantly arrogantRaquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-79202640902392379702013-10-22T16:47:00.001-07:002013-10-22T16:47:16.920-07:00I choose my path based on emotions I choose my emotions based on experiences.

That is Cesar tapia and Brian Byrdsong these nice looking, kind, buff men took a piece of their time to cheer me on and encourage me when I was overweight and very physically un attractive and showed kindness. I realize it more now than I ever did then and I can never thank them enough for the strength and focus they shared with me during that time. Now it's been a harder journey to return to what I know but a rewarding one to know I CAN DO THIS BY MYSELF. Before I had cheerleaders at work, patients who noticed, gym teachers, neighbors, and of course, 411 to share my every move. NOW, guess what I have most of that but the purpose is more intense. Go for it. Make a great and healthy life.Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-91220884170516664092013-02-27T17:25:00.001-08:002013-02-27T17:25:43.008-08:00Half of spin and groove ...

I found my old reliable Nike super stretchy pants and my long, over my butt tee shirt and I pulled out my diadora spin shoes. All I can say is..."it's gonna hurt tomorrow". The instructor was Sarah, I've known from class for years and after class we shared sentiments that were what I needed to hear and verbiage that was so familiar to me that I felt a renewed sense of security. I noticed that on the floor I feel lost, guilt ridden, ashamed if how I look and feel to exposed. In spin class I feel comfortable, like I know my strength and challenge myself to prove it. It's like I don't care who I sit in front of, I think...yeah you think I am a fatty but I can do just as well or as best as the elite members in class. I am strong, I am me, I am not vulnerable, outside without the safety of class, out of the safety of those that know my journey I feel ashamed. But in class, I am a rock star and that's what I need to feel to get me started again.Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-88605950505351059042013-02-23T08:19:00.001-08:002013-02-23T08:19:36.136-08:00I realize and can openly admit now that I have an extreme sense of shame with going to the gym. Due to my weight gain I feel like I am being judged for how I look now in comparison to two years ago, when I lost 89 lbs I am ashamed that I gained the weight back and I am a statistic. I walked today on the furthest back treadmill and examined the calendar with 3x3x3 plan 3 lbs by 3 lbs by 3 lbs will get me somewhere, not fast, not slow but get me there. That's what's important.Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-79388438441776488252013-02-18T12:21:00.000-08:002013-02-18T12:22:00.062-08:00<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_DFakZ5P_St2kkPW_XngrwM_jMxXhWHnQY6UDdbx7660ksxgEkvOq5KyYLRprpt0qXbTxooiv7U44r0nEXO43t_PAwaQNFka4gptSJn_j2Cp53AIdKyvxS42CBrjRRsc1izuwqXKLc1JD/s1600/IMG_0656-720063.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_DFakZ5P_St2kkPW_XngrwM_jMxXhWHnQY6UDdbx7660ksxgEkvOq5KyYLRprpt0qXbTxooiv7U44r0nEXO43t_PAwaQNFka4gptSJn_j2Cp53AIdKyvxS42CBrjRRsc1izuwqXKLc1JD/s320/IMG_0656-720063.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5846390747968886274" /></a></p>So this is what I did yesterday while we were at the gym, yes ...we. the whole crew went to the gym. trey go up and announced we were all going and everyone complied. i had a meltdown moment and a good cry and then I decided to stop the self pity attitude that is so counterproductive and get real. Yes for 2 years I have been living in the past ashamed and embarrassed and hiding to most the environments that remind me and accuse me of this weight gain. My old job, the gym mainly.
<br>
<br>But you can't hide an you can't blame the world and everyone else when you fail. So here I am 2013 trying to make this my year AGAIN. Financially, physically and spiritually. The amazing thing is that when you are a rock star you really are a rock star nothing is impossible.

I have been reviewing my blog for the past hour and can't believe I let it all go. One incredibly weird thing I noted was that 3 years ago almost to the date I cut my hair short unfortunately for two very different reasons then and now.Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-21624992003341455052012-03-12T16:01:00.001-07:002012-03-12T16:01:46.363-07:00JOYLUCKCLUB CHESSCheck out this video on YouTube:<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSoKfVen-9M&feature=youtube_gdata_player">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSoKfVen-9M&feature=youtube_gdata_player</a><p><br>Sent from Rocky's iPhoneRaquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-58033072536223271572012-01-07T14:23:00.001-08:002012-01-07T14:23:43.664-08:00@raquelwash, 1/7/12 5:22 PM<div></div><div><table><tbody><tr><td><img src="http://a2.twimg.com/profile_images/1729587180/image_normal.jpg" style="float:left;width:48px;height:48px;margin:8px;margin-bottom:3px;"><b>Raquel Washington (<a href="https://twitter.com/raquelwash">@raquelwash</a>)</b><br><a href="https://twitter.com/raquelwash/status/155776417634861056">1/7/12 5:22 PM</a><br>SCLQ – Booty, God, Booty the Video: Part 4 « Stuff Christians Like - Jon Acuff <a href="http://t.co/S9nTuHVS"><span>jonacuff.com/stuffchristian…</span></a></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><br><br>Sent from <span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">Rocky's iPhone</span></div>Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-18880679830490621492012-01-01T19:51:00.001-08:002012-01-01T19:51:37.513-08:00A beautiful day with my family<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEPObbh-rgadbjQRudTNPQZYCVzPlh3EBRe3DT8kkoFRSyh7YPx7GQ6Y-OBdgTRXf4eDtNCZjCUHv7T0qJt3c3FvRvsaNkS6OOvSA8sgD9w0IepYQwGZZOEzDubwMLRataJ0H5s7F9JofM/s640/blogger-image--876138503.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEPObbh-rgadbjQRudTNPQZYCVzPlh3EBRe3DT8kkoFRSyh7YPx7GQ6Y-OBdgTRXf4eDtNCZjCUHv7T0qJt3c3FvRvsaNkS6OOvSA8sgD9w0IepYQwGZZOEzDubwMLRataJ0H5s7F9JofM/s640/blogger-image--876138503.jpg" /></a></div>Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-6716644542084230702012-01-01T19:40:00.000-08:002012-01-01T19:40:52.048-08:00<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">day 1: a great day for my family and me. We talked, exercised and planned our future together. We listed our plans and objective on paper and in prayer. We detailed our dreams with such detail and EVERYONE participated. Today was a great day. </span>Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-8401468334534428642011-12-31T13:25:00.000-08:002011-12-31T13:26:29.282-08:00My first 7+ goals for 2012: in no particular order of importance, just using Zig Ziglar's "wheel of life". 7 spokes (areas) of the wheel 1) career: Cement a permanent, meaningful place within DFC corp. where I use my core values to richly deepen team members appreciation for their employment while providing the best customer service "experience" to parents and most importantly children, our patients. 2) financial: Stay focused and mostly finish our GET OUT OF DEBT plan by December 23, 2012 and eliminate the final nemesis by March 2013. 3) spiritual: to find "my first love" again. Knowing Jehovah God intimately in prayer. Dedication to participate in the public ministry of my beliefs. Establish a weekly schedule to regularly attend all meetings 4) physical: to permanently lose 50 lbs with patience, balance, and good long term habits that include my husband and children in a healthy family lifestyle. To drink 8 cups of water daily. 5) intellectual: to read 1 non fiction book and regularly post to my blog. Make goals to start college at age 42 when we are debt free in 2013. Take a writing course. 6) family: to reestablish my Friday visits with my mom. Make a monthly family goal. Establish a monthly family gathering with my parents and siblings. Visit my sister in Houston on labor day weekend. 7) social: invite all my team members to my house for a luncheon or dinner. Visit my grandma at least once a month. Arrange a "cousins party" for 2012. Establish a semi weekly date night with hubby and intermittently invite friends with us. #Finish year<p>Sent from Rocky's iPhoneRaquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538778632819654086.post-41262440962968956402011-11-27T14:09:00.000-08:002011-11-27T14:10:07.579-08:00<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ-xeFnOFUtph0Qipb1VckTWIF0R9vdep-An3JDB_bIsId08HLxDpKe39mhPP2vLpjXqbzEPW_94iAzXZ-xPV_JCJSfcotQpWVH5OJN4h6GgiFC7twHAPS3qtWyAdzJhJkkud4Acv4P9Hv/s1600/photo-707580.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ-xeFnOFUtph0Qipb1VckTWIF0R9vdep-An3JDB_bIsId08HLxDpKe39mhPP2vLpjXqbzEPW_94iAzXZ-xPV_JCJSfcotQpWVH5OJN4h6GgiFC7twHAPS3qtWyAdzJhJkkud4Acv4P9Hv/s320/photo-707580.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679801368745445426" /></a></p>I almost had forgotten that feeling...Raquel Washingtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01307840968529535001noreply@blogger.com0
