One week down. 7 days, 7 pounds. Out of the 300s. Feels really good to say that! I focused this week on the "little things". Eat just a little less. Exercise just a little more. This next week I am focusing on what this is all about. Last week I contemplated a lot on why I am doing this and focused on how I felt as I was eating healthier.
It's all about:
1) Feeling the peace that comes when I do what's right (which includes caring for my body).
2) Being beautiful (health is beauty-spiritual and physical).
3) Energetically living life the way I want to.
4) Building strength and self-discipline.
This next week I really want to have a healthy week. Fruits, Veggies, Water, Sleep, Exercise, all those good things I want to have lots of this week. I like the feeling of health. It's invigorating. I want to chase that feeling and keep having it more and more. My battle with weight loss can be won. I know I can do this. I need to keep that positive focus. I want to replace harmful habits with healthy ones. I can do it. I am doing it. Thank you again to all for your faith and encouragement. I am so happy to have you, who have been true friends through the years, on my side cheering me along. I love having you along with me.
This picture today shows me taking care of myself now. I dressed up, I put on make-up, I washed and straightened my hair, I put on earrings. I made myself look my very best. Most days I figure "why bother?" I would think that because of my weight that nothing I did would make me look any better. Well, that's not true. Taking care to look my best makes me feel better about myself, I look and feel happier and it shows that I do care about myself. So, here is me, today. Happy.
All my thanks,
Tanya

Tanya you are gorgeous. You are right, we just need to take the time to care of ourselves and the weight will come off. I love you. Keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing Tanya! I want you to know that me and rich are thinking about you! You can do it. It really does help to get dressed up sometimes. Its hard being a mom and taking time for yourself. Good luck, you can do it!
ReplyDeleteGood job! It always feels good to dress up and put on make-up, it's easy, especially as a momma to forget about ourselves sometimes and what makes us happy. Keep up the good work!
