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.

xoxo
