It has been a great week for me. I have fought through many temptations thanks to our heavenly Father. I will admit, there were many prayers said throughout the course of the week just to find the strength to not over eat and to ensure that I was making healthy choices for me.
My poor children may not understand the need for me to go hide in my room for 5 minutes during random times throughout the day, but it truly has been worth it.
Despite the fact that I am fighting a cold (it has not yet reached the surface but you can tell that it is there trying to make its unwelcome presence known!) I have fought through laziness and have found myself exercising more often.
Okay, I will admit, maybe it helps that my husband is training for a bike race that he is in this coming Saturday and he has been helping to keep me motivated (even though he probably doesn't even know it). Still, I find this to be a big success for me. I am lazy and I know it. So to be able to say that we are on the morning of Day 4 for the week and I have already done some form of workout 3 times, makes me one happy woman!
Before I share my most exciting success story with you, let me start off by admitting that I have not fared well in my weigh scale addiction. I may not be weighing myself every morning, but I am certainly on there every other day hoping beyond hope that those numbers will change. So, as I stepped out of the shower this morning I did just that, but guess what?
THE NUMBERS CHANGED!
I am beyond ecstatic, to say the least. It may only be a three pound weight loss, but to me this is amazing! I take joy in the small things and this weight loss not only makes me happy inside, but it also certifies that I am making healthier choices for me.
Dear friends, I have not seen myself this happy in quite some time. This truly is a joyous and momentous occasion for me. It is a true sign that I need to keep going. That I need to continue pushing through.
Thank you for your kind words over the last few weeks. I greatly appreciate knowing that my words are touching other people's lives.
