Yup, a gain! Can you believe it? But you know what?.....I am calling this week a success because not only have I been right on program but i've been faced with many challenges where I made good choices and i've worked even harder since Thursday's weigh-in! If I had 'earned' this gain then at least I could look back and see what I needed to work on....there would be a reason and an a solution. It is so difficult when you know you've done well and for some reason your efforts don't show on the scale. But, the way I see it....i've got two options...I can either be so upset that I destroy those efforts and actually earn a gain next week or I can keep doing what I am doing and be proud of the fact that I didn't give up when the going got tough....I think i'll choose the latter. :-) It's taken a while to learn how not to be so self-destructive...but it is a major factor in my success. So, instead of hitting the ice cream....I hit the mall! hehehe
I bought myself a couple new outfits for the colder season...including some funky snake skin looking flare pants (how bold of me, eh?....lol, I love em!). I feel like I have lost inches.....everything is getting smaller ....I'm feeling all these new bones that I dind't know were there....and my energy level is through the roof! Now that is success! My husband keeps laughing at me because i'm checking with him to make sure these new 'lumps' should really be there! hehehe I've also planned a day at the salon on Friday....nails...wax....cut, color, and even auburn highlights! It's hubby's 30th birthday (good excuse huh? lol) ... and we're going out for the night...without the kids!!.......Besides, I deserve it...now don't I? :-)
I am settling into a new routine now that everything else is calming down. We got the home gym working good....and I love it! I can feel my body working so much harder now and that's just what I need. I'm trying some new foods because I need to 'shake-it-up' a bit and really think I need more (good) fat in my diet.....imagine that....lol. It's important to know what food can do for your body instead of just focusing on what harm too much can do....i'm still learning.
I'm looking forward to getting more done with the site soon....it helps me alot. I added 'reflections' this week. I think it's important to take note of the people and moments that effect your life. I've always found it helpful to put my thoughts and feelings into words, I suppose it helps me to understand it all better.....that, and it's cheaper than a shrink. :-) I share all of this with you because I know that many of you can relate and also how important it is to know that you are not alone...ecspecially in a struggle such as this. Other people have helped me so much and if I can help someone else by sharing how I feel......then I will. Andrea once told me to listen to my own advice... I know what i'm talking about and what needs to be done...I just need to listen to my own head........she was right.....so I am.
The message forum here is like having a support meeting whenever I need it. I post there just about every day....including my food journal! I get so inspired by other people's success and learn from their struggles like I do my own. The people there are so supportive and encouraging. Many are doing SO well and I am proud of them! I think the new chat room will also become a helpful addition to this site and look forward to getting to know people even better. Support is really such a major factor and I feel as though I am surrounded by it......i'm so thankful for that.
Until next time..........
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed
is more important than any one thing.
