Happy Sunny Svelte Sunday! 🌞🌷

I'm a little disappointed in myself for going over my RDI yesterday (it doesn't happen often😞)

but I'm also pleased with myself for adding extra exercise minutes (54 min total cardio/strength💪).

Disappointed that I actually gained a half pound this week (it doesn't happen often😞)

but pleased that my measurements have improved since last month (lost 1.5 inches at waist & 2.5 inches at hips👍)

And so our journeys go....2 steps forward, 1 step back. I got to thinkin this morning, "What's the rush? Why am I in such a doggone hurry to get to my target weight?" Maybe it's just to prove to myself that it can be done! and it WILL be done!! I have no doubt in my mind that I will EVENTUALLY reach my goal weight.
And then it will be a LIFELONG challenge/adventure to find the balance to MAINTAIN a healthy weight and fitness level.

So, pulling myself back to take a longer, broader view of my achievements thus far...this little stinkin half a pound gain this week is just not that bigga deal😎

And so it is for ALL of us here, whether we're striving to lose or for gainz, I urge you to take a minute today to look back in your records and celebrate the differences OVERALL. Take another look at some older photos of yourself and how much healthier you look (and FEEL) than when you were heavier. What kind of activities are you able to do today that you could NOT do while you were heavier?
Is your overall Quality of Life improved?

I'm SO happy to say that MINE IS!! Thank you Lord🙏 Thank you my FS family💙
