Getting back on track is a little more difficult than when we were just plowing through. I have to continue to remember that that Rome was not built in a Day!!! LOL I definitely did not get my body in this condition over night as well. I have come to terms with the fact that we are on a journey...it truly isn't just about the weight, it is about what we have learned and how far we have come and that we need to be present and celebrate all of our accomplishments. It does not matter how small or how big, we need to acknowledge the fact that we are changing our mindset along with our bodies. It is all about looking and feeling confident no matter what, looking and feeling confident no matter where we are at, or who we are around. We always want to love ourselves and be kind to ourselves. We would never speak horribly to our best friends, so we should never do it to ourselves. We all have a purpose, and we should never let our bodies dictate weather or not we are good enough. No matter what your size is, get healthy for yourself.
When I joined the weight loss challenge at my work, everything changed for me. It became more of a competition rather than what I was doing for myself. I was trying to be real with all of you, and yet I was trying to figure out how I can freakishly release 20 - 30 lbs. so I can win some money. Isn't that crazy! I stopped being in integrity with myself and with all of you. Here I am saying love yourself, be good to yourself, accept yourself; and I was trying to figure out how I can be top dog winning this competition. Well, I gave up the competition. My journey is not about money, and I can't mix the two. It just doesn't work for me. I want to be the type of person someone can relate to and succeed because I did it and you realize you can do it too. Not because I pretended to be something I am not and you are getting frustrated with yourself even more because I was not truthful. It is crazy!!!
So, the crazy train has left the building. Let's get back on track and move the I CAN DO IT TRAIN forward. For today, I will be kind to myself and stay on track. These next two weeks will be a bit hairy. I will not have access to a computer on Saturday; I will be out of town. I will do my best to make this blog a priority. Next week, I will not have access to a computer on Friday - Sunday; I will be out of town...Monday I will get home in the morning from Vegas on an "It Works" Retreat. I will continue to stay true to myself and keep this party going.
Have a great day!!! I can't wait to chat tomorrow!!!
