"So, take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again" - Frank Sinatra
I read another interesting quote while searching for the one above. It said "I asked my friend what to do, and she said "wash your hair" and I thought that was weird, but I did it. It helped, washing it all off and starting over again fresh" and I thought that was neat, because its true, I always feel better after a shower and a good washing. Its like all the troubles, stress, overwhelming things have been washed down the drain with the soap and muck from the day. That is why I always shower at night, not in the morning. I just wish that I could keep that feeling alive, the muck washed all and a fresh start. Unfortunately, I tend to stress out about stuff and just allow all of that back in. I need to work on that!
On another note...I lost 6lbs!!!!! I know that it was a lot of water weight, but thats 6lbs gone, and that is enough for me!! I also know that it helps me when I take the time to log my intake and see what I am putting into my body. I need that accountability or I go crazy and eat WAY too much!!
It helps too that I spent the weekend in the pool. I am sun burnt, but I am happy about it. It will turn to a lovely tan in a few days. It feels so nice to get out and do something, I love walking with my pup, but she pulls and isnt great on a leash just yet, so it gets frustrating. But being in the water, I love it. I love the feeling of the whole world melting away as I slip under and the feeling of weightlessness while I glide through. Water is my happy place, and I feel so blessed to be in a place where I can go swimming. Though during the week, the pool fills with all the complex kids, so its harder to swim, but I am going to try to do it at least 2-3 times a week. That should help me with some of this lymphatic weight I am holding in my legs as well.
Today I will rejoice and thank God for the blessings that He has given me. I will praise Him for my strength and willpower. I will give thanks for all the weight that I have already lost and the weight that I am currently losing. I will thank Him for my health, my family and my friends (all of you) and I will ask Him to continue to watch over and protect us all. I will pray for healing, deliverance, and strength. I praise His holy name!! In the Lord's beautiful name, Amen!!
I hope you all have a glorious day!! Even being at work, and not in the pool, I am going to try to have a fabulous day. I know that it is all about attitude and how I process my emotions and feelings. I will do my best to have the kind of day that I want to have. I hope you all do the same! Love each other, support each other, and most of all..love who you are at whatever stage you may be at, because you are the only one who matters. **Hugs to you all**
