personal triumph?
Sep 02, 2012
My weight is finally moving down. I was at a standstill for about 6 months! Crazy! Through some self acceptance, discipline and high intensity workouts my scale has shifted and have felt real motivation. I am finally at peace with the death of my beloved mother and think that was one of the main obstacles in my weight loss. I was able to shed my mourning and it helped me shed some pounds. Odd.I also walked/ran a 5K. Some would say that is a great feat but I'm still uncomfortable accepting that. I can walk 4.5 miles no problem, so whats the big deal? The deal was that I made myself a priority and made that event a must for me to accomplish. That's the triumph. It was my husband's birthday and his mother from FL was in town but i told him I was at his birthday for 22 years so far and I would be back in the afternoon. I put myself first for a few hours. I didn't feel selfish, I felt great! It was fun, the weather was beautiful and I was with like minded, inspired people. And then I came home. DONE. I did it!
I struggle with ME every single day, every few hours. Even right now I struggle with going downstairs to the treadmill or walk outside. You know what, I choose outside.
Love you. Love me.
