Sometimes things are hard

The last couple of weeks I have detoured. I am back on the right road again and can't wait to see where this journey continues taking me. 

Sometimes you will see you have to go down a little but each step leads you in the right direction. I'm gone down the hill a few times over the past couple of weeks. I don't know what happened to me and I am sure it won't figure it out bit one misstep doesn't mean that I have to fail. It is just an opportunity to grow into the person I want to become. Becoming stronger each time you make a mistake because you realize you can move forward and don't have to continue to move backwards. I am strong and confident I just needed to remind myself of these things again. I love me and though I am a little disappointed in myself I am also proud of myself for climbing back on the correct path. 

Happy Sunday

As I sit here enjoying making a yummy meal that is healthy for the family I realize how good my life is. Things are turning around for the good in our home. We are achieving things that we have been working on forever and I am finally turning into the me I have wanted to be for years. I'm no longer scared of reaching my goals. Why are we scared of such dumb things? My fear was of failure but unless you try you will never prove to yourself you can succeed. 

Today I am wearing a pair of jeans I bought a couple of years ago. I really liked them and decided that I would get I to them some how. When I started on this journey I could not get them passed my calves. Today I was able to button them up and wear them! 

The coloring isn't good since the blinds were open but they fit!!! I am now down 48 pounds and feeling so good! 

Failure is a choice to not try. The person who comes in last at the end of the race beat every person who was not willing to get off of the couch! Remember you will only fail if you refuse to try. One step at a time is all that it will take. Baby steps lead to huge accomplishments.

We all have those moments...

After being so good for three months I failed miserably the last few days. It's sad that I can work so hard and do so well and slip up for four days and put on twelve pounds.... Twelve pounds that took weeks to take off. I don't know what happened and today is a new day with 100% chance of success and I will succeed. Life happens, we make mistakes and fail but do we really fail? I think if we are willing to jump back in the saddle and head out to achieve great things than we really aren't failures. We had a few bad days that we gain strength from. We learn we can overcome anything. Successful people don't give up when the going gets tough they pave a new path. My path is a bit steep and rocky right now but I will continue to trudge through to the end. 

I have had so many non-scale victories to count so just because the scale may not be my friend today doesn't mean it can't be again in a week. I am much stronger than I ever realized before. Being human we aren't always perfect we have to continue moving forward one day at a time. Taking the baby steps and stumbling along the way. Remember when we were learning to walk we fell down over and over again, but every single one of us walks talk everyday which means we were willing to get back up every single time to gain the independence of walking on our own.

Let's just hold ourselves accountable!
