Unusually Mild

This month has been very tame Weather wise. Actually we have only had one true Storm this year. The rest have been small of duration and accumulation. I have been continuing my Exercise routine. I still wait for the weight to leave. It has become a mind battle of the most extreme to keep from giving up. I tell you this. Quitting is not an option this time. My Health is too important to do so. I will keep struggling, knowing that I have all the tools to win this time! I cannot think of one single excuse anymore. I wont use my medicine as one. I know that I can keep on going down, even when I have some temporary setbacks...this is common in anyone's Life. It happens. I have tools to deal with it. I will deal with it. My Husband has become my best support system. Yesterday when I was so upset with a gain, he calmed me down, supported me, said this too shall pass. It did. Today when I got on the scale, I had dropped almost 4 lbs. True, it would have been nicer had it happened yesterday...weigh in day. I know that the next weigh in will be fantastic. I had some soup the night before the scheduled weigh in, not thinking about the sodium in it...that it would hold the water in. It certainly did! Instead of having my regular splurge the day of weigh in, I kept going, stayed on plan. No loss, no splurge. I exercised 4 days this week. I did over 40 minutes each day. This would never have happened before I lost the 50 lbs I have lost so far. I know now that I am getting ever closer to the success I deserve. I will now get to know the person inside of me. The person that I have been hiding for so many years. The true person I can be. I went back and read some of my other Blogs as I went along. They too helped inspire me. I have kept my New Years Resolutions from last year. I made new ones for this year. Knowing that I will keep them gives me Courage, Determination, and Strength to say no to foods that no longer taste good anyway. Now I remember BEFORE I have things my Stomach no longer wants, nor likes. If I can help one other person like me strive to make it, my journey will be worthwhile. I end this till next time. To those who might be reading this and wish to get on the path to better Health...I say this: YOU CAN DO IT! I never thought I could. I am proving that I can. I am worth it. So are you! Good Luck, see you next time! Hug yourself, then pass the Hug on to someone else...it helps both! Katie
