There is no such thing as easy days and hard days when you are trying to accomplish anything worth while. If it was easy, everyone would be successful. But there are days that are harder than others. It's the accomplishment of getting through those days victorious that help to really fuel my fire and keep me going for the long run.
I had a little bit of an emotional, feel bad about myself kind of day and even though I didn't eat 100% right yesterday, it wasn't because of my emotional state. It was because it was Valentine's day and I was allowing myself a little treat, and even at that, I didn't binge or anything.
If I can get through a day like I was having yesterday, I can make it through anything!
I was really good last week and felt like I was really back on my game and when I weighed in on Saturday morning, I had lost 4 pounds!!! I felt so happy and so good! I am going to repeat that success this week.
I actually am very excited about going to curves tonight. And I am hoping that this coming weekend in nice cause I really want to get out for a nice hike! I need to be outside and I need to sweat!!! ;-)
I really can't wait for the warm weather to start rolling in because I plan on spending a lot of time being active outdoors!
One of the most important things I have learned so far in my fight to lose weight is that the power of a positive attitude makes all the difference and that when you slip, it's so important to just forget, talk nice to yourself and move on and keep working hard. In all my experience at going to weight loss meetings like Weight Watchers, there isn't enough emphasis on the power of positive thinking and too much emphasis on talking about food. You need to talk about food, but I have found that many meetings, members spend a great deal of the meeting talking about how they failed or what product they found that is delicious and low in calories.
This is important, but I feel its more important to get people to learn how to think positively and speak and act as if they have already overcome their weight loss battles.

My mother always told me, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all!
