I Get by With a Little Help From My Friends...

If but not for the accountability measures in place...today, I would have quit. I wasn't feeling the workout, I'm starving, and my mood is fluctuating...if you're a lady, you may see what fun I'm headed toward. Plus, even though my weekend wasn't wild and crazy...it was a bit on the unrestrained side and the numbers on the scale went up. I know it isn't where my focus should be...yet it makes me wonder what's sustainable for me since I liked all that I did this weekend and I plan on continuing with those patterns. Ok, enough whining about numbers on a machine. I'm thankful for my friends that pushed me today. I'm thankful for those of you that have said kind words. Hearing things like I'm an inspiration...that's downright kind, amazing, and just what I need to hear to keep going. So, today is done and I'm thankful for the people around me. I'm thankful that I'm still trying. And really...I have amazing people in my life that face challenges that are far more difficult than mine so here's to everyone facing things that are hard and trying to do something about it.

  1. WAY TO GO!!!!! Good for you for breaking through. At our house, we're working on food prep and eating healthy foods that will bring our weight down over time--long term. The shrimp scampi tonight was more lemon than garlic because I couldn't make a cream sauce, so the lemon in the marinade won the day. We talked about how important that was--or not. Every conversation, every opportunity to encourage each other and work together accomplishes two things. We are able to achieve our individual goals, and create habits together that bring us closer. Sally, we have different goals and plans, but the work to change behavior and adopt new ones will help us recreate our lives! And our bodies!
