Weigh In and Compliments

Today is weigh in and after all the hard work I've put in the last week you would think the scale would reflect it in someway... but no. I am exactly the same as last week -- 141.4 lbs. I'm not complaining but I'm not exactly throwing a party either! I pushed hard on running, turbo kick class kicked my rear,  and I went to gym for cardio and weights this week. No worries though, maybe it's still an adjustment for my body. This has been the hardest workout week since my surgery and it's possible my body is adjusting to the routine. Ya, that sounds good. I know I ate relatively well this week! Been munching on celery and carrots a lot lately. No junk.... Whatever the reason, next week better look out!! I'm headed for 130s and I will get there! YEAH BUDDY!

It's been a really cool week! I've put in some hard work and I've rewarded myself with my new nose ring that I've always wanted but thought I was too ugly to pull off and a new hair style. I love to change things up and venture out. I don't want to be holed up in the ordinary anymore. I want to be more spontaneous and exciting.

Do you notice that the more weight you lose or the more you get to know yourself,
 the more confident you get and are able to 'spread your wings'. 

I've been spreading my wings lately and trying new things that I thought were just out of my comfort zone. I've never been more comfortable in my own skin. I'm learning how to compliment myself and it's an amazing feeling.

Do you compliment yourself?? 

***Compliment your looks***

***Compliment your efforts***

***Compliment your successes***


I am beautiful inside and out and I do what I do
for these two amazing kids. I strive to be healthier
and more active every single day. I refuse to let 
life pass me by while my kids get older. I will 
be there next to them while they run and play.
I will be a role model for them. 
They are my heart and soul.

  1. I've been working on the compliments for myself. It's starting to sink in - and that's better than the pounds lost. (who would have thought?!)

  4. Why do we insist that success is only/mainly measured by a number on the scales? Why do we beat ourselves up in ways we'd never do to another human being? Why do we lose sight of the big picture because we're so focused on the little details that bog us down? Why don't we accept that the best we can do, is enough? This dieting journey is truly life-changing on so many levels; I'm thankful that we don't just "lose pounds" but gain experience, insight, confidence and new life-skills! Thanks for sharing yourself with us! :)
