2nd Sunday Journal: Been thinking about old groups here - and old challenges... did they work? and why? - or did they not...and why? I'm not that into them anymore. Just another thing to feel like I'm not quite meeting the mark.
But then - I started thinking about INDIVIDUALLY coming up w/ our own challenge.
Here's my thought... if I can pick one thing...ONE thing that I would 'give up' for 30 days... or ONE thing that I would 'do differently'... and it would help me to get to my goal quicker... could I??? would I???
Hmmmm... got you thinking huh?
So for the next 30 days I am going to CHALLENGE MYSELF to workout or exercise...every day.
WOW! I know!!! But it doesn't have to be much...just consistent.
I can walk, or hit the gym, ride a bike or put in some extra effort in the garden. I can do at home workouts, or even swim... whatever makes me happy!
Can you think of something you'd like to challenge yourself to do over the next 30 days! Make a habit...or perhaps break one... and see if it gives you a little push towards your ultimate goal to lose weight.
Much Love.

Spent some time talking w/ my daughter yesterday - about weight issues, scales, way of eating, lifestyle choices... etc. It is so interesting to me how different we perceive ourselves - from what other people see.
She can see that I have gained - but to her it only looks like 'a few pounds'. (ok, she's my daughter...so I know there's a bit of that mixed in.) Then... we each try on the same tight fitting dress and stand in a 3-way mirror together!
I am definitely in need of some re/shaping!!! In the smaller direction :)
We actually were able to laugh - not cry. That's progress, for me anyway!
I told her how I feel about this shift in my thinking - and that I never in a million years wanted to EVER make 'weight' an issue for her... and she assured me I have not (she's 28)... and we both agreed in order to change our XL sausage dresses into L's or M's... we'd have to move on.
I won't fault her if she decides not to. And she won't judge me if I decide a size 14 works for me. (it doesn't but I didn't tell her that.)
If we can encourage each other - great. We will. But life is too short - and not one day of the last YEAR of my Mom's life...did she ever even CARE what she weighed. Not once. Vanity was gone. HEALTH was most important. We talked about this. And we both agreed...she must have been on to something!!! :)
Hope you have a great day! Enjoy your weekend ... and cheers ... to good health!

Evaluation is just part of the process. And I have been evaluating some recent choices - and their impacts in my life. This has been good on multiple levels.
It's kind of like when I go thru my closet. Have I worn this...touched it even...in the last year? if not... bye bye! Clearly there is a reason I don't wear it. And I don't have the patience to keep things around that are not useful to me anymore.
Thinking this has something to do with getting older...
Anyway..
I have been evaluating my past week. Great food choices. Did ok on the exercise front. (3 times.) And all in all, I do think I might have dropped a pound or two in water weight...as some of my 'tight' clothes are not 'tight' anymore. All good things!
I have managed to bring FS back into my daily life...that's a great choice...and it's been incredibly helpful. Your support, my willingness to re-commit - it puts this in it's proper perspective for me. A major lifestyle change doesn't come about without some major planning and effort in one's life.
There is however a negative that has cropped out of this evaluation process. Maybe it's because I have been at this such a long time. Or maybe it's due to my type of personality. But I have a hard time (sometimes) when I do come here.
Everyone has a journey. A story. And a right to be respected in it. I am certainly not talking about the events in people's lives that need to be shared - God knows...I've done my fair share of sharing!!!
But sometimes I see the same people online - that I have seen for the last few years... and they are still whining about 'cheating' or 'weight gain' at the expense of the pizza and beers they scoffed down the night before... etc.
So as part of my evaluation process, I discovered - I don't need to be the support system to the entire FS community. I do love you guys...really I do. But I just can't handle trying to give advice to deaf ears! (Does that make me a terrible friend?) I'm sorry.
Just trying to remain focused on finding my own way out of this weight gain. And I am 100% serious about doing what I need to do. My standards are high. My goals are set before me. And I don't want to be distracted by the random social chit-chat of those who just come here because misery loves company. That's not me. I want progress. Forward motion. Positive input. Help. Honesty.
Oh, and btw...if you are reading my journal, I can assure you - I am NOT talking about YOU. But you have all seen them. Heck I have probably been them in a past post or two.
I am just tired of misdirecting my energies in life.
All in all, my week was successful. And I feel very good about it. That's enough for me! Hope you are well too!!! Happy Weekend.
Much Love.
