Good morning & happy Wednesday healthy peeps!
WELCOME untangle and midwest chick! We are very glad to have you here, sharing your journey with us! Lots of encouraging words, recipe ideas, workout tips & all around support!
sylvie... honey you go sistah! 71 pounds is AMAZING! You have done such amazing work on yourself ~ mind, body, soul & spirit! You are truly an inspiration to me and to others here! Your journey has not been an easy one, but you are proof that with determination & confidence your goals can be met! THANK YOU for being you and for sharing it all with us!
Well, things have been hit or miss for me for awhile. I do pretty good at eating healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks. Dinner isn't always the best... but I know that it is my fault. I really need to figure out a way to make more time for healthy meal planning. I do so much better when I have healthier options in the cabinet/fridge... which keeps us from just ordering out which happens much more than it should.
My biggest thing has been my lack of motivation to work out. I just don't understand why I allow myself to self-sabotage by NOT going to the gym. The only person I am hurting is myself. I know once I get going, I do great. So why the hell, don't I just get in the car and GO?! At any given time, I can name at least 5 excuses for me to just stay home.
After feeling guilt for not being on track as best as I should, I was laying in bed last night and got a text from Candace. Most of y'all know how much success she has had on her journey... she is kicking ass & taking names I tell ya! She asked how my journey was going, and I told her about some of the bumps in the road. She said, "do me a favor... look in the mirror every day and say out load ~ I AM STRONG AND CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING ANTHING I DESIRE. I CONTROL MY DESTINY"
WOW, just the reality check and motivational boost I needed. I woke up this morning, stared in the bathroom mirror and repeated those words at least 3 times. I CONTROL MY DESTINY! Thank you Candace for knowing just when I need an extra little motivation.
I hope that everyone has a fabulous day!
