Just Begin

Happy Monday!

I wanted to share my goals for March................

The first one is going to be tough!   The second is a WW thing.  Every day you stay within 3 points of your total WW points you receive a blue dot on your calendar on the WW App.  I am shooting for 26 for the month!  The last, well, 7 pounds should be doable if I am getting 26 blue dots :)  I will keep you updated on my progress :) 

My weigh in on Friday went really well.  I was down 3 pounds!  I am on a 2 week losing streak right now and pushing to keep it going!  Wish me luck!

Last week I was going through some of my old posts.  I kept going further and further back, just skimming them. It was fun to re-live things that I've done, but then  I started feeling a little depressed, and disheartened.  I've been struggling with my weight for almost 30 years now, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I am still working on it.  Still working!  But seeing it in print really hit me how much time and energy I put into this one area of my life with very little change.  Goals, weigh ins, shoulds, shouldn'ts, promises, successes, failures..... Sigh!  It really was exhausting to read.  The next day at out work, I talked it over with my sister.  It was then that I realized that there has been changes. Here and there, I've made changes.  This is a journey.  Changes come little by little.  Small changes that you don't even realize are happening.

~I Am More Educated About My Food~

I have learned about portion sizes, sugar content, saturated fats.....I could go on and on!

~I Truly Like  Myself So Much More~

I like what I see in the mirror.  I many not be the size I want to be yet, but I am loving the body I have right now.  It is working for me.  Pushing me.  Not letting me give up.  I like it!

~I Am More Confident~

Being on any journey is a boost for your self-esteem.  It is empowering to be working towards something, feeling success and learning to deal with failures.

~My Weight Is At An All Time Low~

Well, not really ALL TIME, but it is the lowest it's been since before I became pregnant with my first baby,  who will be 30 this year!

These are all changes that I have made.  If I hadn't began this journey, who know what kind of person I'd be right now.  Unhealthy, lazy, depressed........  Instead, I am working towards something, and along the way I am making myself a better person, physically, emotionally, and mentally.  

Anyone who is on a journey of any kind, is already succeeding, just starting it.  It is always good to be searching.  To learn new things, or ways to do something.  To change your attitude, your thought process.  To remove negative people or things from your life, and to find positive and add it back in.  There are so many wonderful things that happen on any journey.  You grow, you evolve, you learn.  All you have to do is take the first step and just begin.
