Day 136 – SHIT – So Happy Its Thursday…
Now – ya didn’t think I was getting foul-mouthed on ya, did ya? I save that talk for the weekends…LOL
This Thursday for me brings great joy, happiness, a feeling of accomplishment & an amazing feeling of being proud – of myself! I have gotten myself back on track. I was on an old familiar path of mental self destruction & I took a step back to have a “wake up” chat with myself. To remind myself why I started this, that Rome was not built in a day, that I AM WORTH IT, it is not a race & to celebrate how far I’ve come – holy moly, that’s a lot of stuff…so with all that I managed to brake my plateau (first of many, I’m sure) which makes me happy because I fought through a lot of adverse feelings & emotions which means I’ve grown & learned. This makes me happy and extremely proud. I have made the necessary adjustments & with hard work, dedication, persistence, a lot of water, sweat & trying new workouts…with all this -- I did it…
Now, I will re-evaluate my journey & prepare for the next step…I like the picture I selected today as I see myself in the picture. I WAS the first lady…I now see myself as the second lady (35lbs down) & soon, I WILL be the third lady.
I hope that anyone reading this that is struggling knows that it is only temporary. The key is to ALWAYS keep a positive mind, never QUIT & never make excuses…this, I know is often hard, but the mind controls all…keep it clear, keep it full of positive-ness & along with hard work, things will fall into place. This is a journey, not a fix. It will take time. Be patient…or if you’re like me, you’ll have to learn patience. Once learned though, I promise it will be the BEST reward you’ll ever receive – the BEST gift. To know that no-one did it for you. You & you alone took on the dragon & slayed it.
Have a great day, keep your head held high, make good choices & have fun!
LAUGH, LOVE & SMILE...the rest will take care of itself...BE KIND to YOURSELF & OTHERS!
