HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
This was a very sporadic meals/exercise week for me. While I'm a little disappointed that I didn't lose anything, I'm pleasantly surprised that I didn't gain. No reason to celebrate that, but it's an excellent reason to stop fooling around and get back to my commitment to myself. To re-focus on my "choices" and re-commit to my "why".
I find that today, Mother's Day, is the perfect time to do that. No matter how old your children are, they'll always be as precious to you as the day they were born (or as the day you found out you were pregnant)!
When I spoke with my mom and grandma today, we reflected on the blessings they're experiencing. Being here to enjoy all their generations. In our family we're all blessed to witness a 5-generation lineage. My Mom being able to say "my great-grandchildren" and my Grandma being able to say "my great-great-grandchildren". Blessed, indeed!
It's a reminder that this is what's important in life...family! Being healthy for myself and my children and continuing to set the best example that I can for them. To do everything I can to live to witness and enjoy my own multi-generational line as much as I enjoy my beautiful sons right now!
There's not a lot of things I can control in life, but I'm thankful that I'm healthy enough to make my own choices. I'm going to stop taking my choices for granted and risk losing them. To do everything I can to prevent being told by a doctor what I can or can't eat or do. To choose being healthy for myself and my family. 'Choices are Power' and right now it's in my power to make smart choices. And that's exactly what I'm going to do. Now!
Today I'm re-focused on my "choices" and re-committed to my "why".
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

What a blessed family you have! No gain is still a reason to be happy because you know you didn't gain and that means something especially when you have not stayed on plan. I am with you with recommitment, we can do this! Happy Mother's Day!

Happy belated Mother's Day to you. You are very blessed! The paragraph about talking with your grandmother made me teary. You are so very fortunate to have all of those generations of your family. And you are wise to enjoy it! My mom's mom died when she was in her early 80s after a few years of being ill and out of it, but the rest of my grandparents died when they were in their 60s/early 70s. I never knew any of them as an adult. Most of them had heart disease/diabetes/strokes. Which is heartbreaking for me, because I see my parents making the same bad choices (smoking for my dad when his dad died at 64 of a heart attack, and my dad has similar issues, and overeating for my mom when al of her relatives died early from heart disease and obesity related diseases). Anyway, it sounds like you had an amazing Mother's Day. We're lucky when we have a chance like that to put our priorities in order.
