Keep a Positive Outlook!

I am posting this to share that no matter our success, sometimes we tend to dwell on the fact that things are not happening in the timely manner that you hoped for.  I am talking about the fact that the past few days I have had a hard time with losing weight like I have been and I was sort of down about it.  But then a friend of mine brought it to my attention that I have come SO FAR and that my body may just be relaxing a bit.  I was being so hard on myself that I haven't lost much weight in a two week time period.  Then a freind of mine on Facebook (imagine that!!)  left this comment on my status:  "another thing is that you have lost a lot of weight in the last few months, but yes make sure you do eat,,,, if you dont your body goes to starvation mode and begins to store fat not allowing you to lose weight. a healthy balanced diet is the key! and of course gym gym gym :) good luck and keep pushing you are doing great!"


You have no idea the feeling I had when that light bulb went off in my head.  I have to keep in mind that ok, yes, I am in a slump, but look at all that I have accomplished!!!!  I mean come on!!  At the beginning of this year, the first week of January, I was a hefty 190!!!  Now I at 175.  (Yes I posted earlier 170, but I seem to be fluctuating between 170-175...so you know!)  So, I guess the point of this blog post is to remember to give yourself enough credit for all your hard work!!!  I still have about 3 weeks until my Physical Fitness Assessment in the Navy, so in those three weeks, my goal is still to get down to 165 or lower!!!  So I have 10ish lbs to lose.  I say ish because apparently I have some battling scales.  The one at my gym is different than the one at my house... (thanks!!!!  because I am not already a basket case trying to figure out the craziness!!)  LOL!!  And the fact that my weight is bouncing around slightly as well.  I promise, I still have all the hair in my head!  I haven't pulled it out or anything!  :)



So....All in all make sure that you give yourself the credit you are due!!!
