DAY 3 of BEING who *I* want to be by DOING what *I* say *I* will do!
I walked 2 miles in 45 min's today with only inspiration from *myself*. No "HEAVY" encouragement since I haven't sat in front of the TV yet,or Buddy encouragement since I haven't read any ones journals or comments yet. I made it on my own today!:)
I've decided that every now & again I will do this just to keep in my mind that *I* can do this *alone* if need be. My weight is *my* problem. *I* am the one who must DO what's needed to live the life I want. NO ONE ELSE can do it for me.
I realized something wonderful today as I walked.While walking I apparently am not aware of how I look because each time I passed someone or something that I was not expecting(a 2-toned pink flower with a yellow center shaped like a night light bulb & about the same size as one that had been picked by someone & perhaps dropped unknowingly by a drive way: 4 life like Halloween creatures that scared me briefly-one actually looked like FIL,it even had a walker it was leaning on: a small dog chasing a squirrel about the same size that he was: a couple of patio ideas I think I may try at my house) I smiled,a big show my teeth smile. Why do I say this is a wonderful discovery/realization? Because with that big show my teeth smile came a body that stood a bit straighter & a shot of feel good endorphines that caused me to,if only for the moment, forget about how hot the sun was,how sweaty my face,armpits & butt was,how much farther I was going to push myself.
I wish for YOU,dear Buddies,a wonderful day of discovery about yourself!
It can be quite inspiring :)

I rarely have an open mouth smile but I do enjoy it when I find myself smiling naturally instead of forced. Congratulations on being your own inspiration.

Oh Buddies, thanks for the encouragement! Forgive me for not reading them sooner. :) SKINNY I'm glad you find my post inspiring! & the rest of my week WAS wonderful too :)
BELLA-Smiles that are natural do make us enjoy life soo much more. I have found even if it is forced eventually (if done enough-just like with eating right & exercise) it still has the same effects :) NUT LOL sorry about that,I dont know why I shorten names...It IS enjoyable when we get totally absorbed in what we are doing! :) Thanks again Deb for the Anniversary wishes! Bill,thank you! I'm lovin'it :)
