Hi everyone,
Just wanted to say that today is a day that I'm thanking my body. I'm thanking it for carrying me through 21.1 km in my race today despite my neglect in properly training and asking so much of it. I'm thankful for the wonderful community here on EMTWL and the great support I've received. Now, it's time to ask even more of my body, to start changing shape and building more muscle and allowing me to be the super fit mom that my kids can be proud of. I am going to use the scale as a tool only and not let it rule the way I feel about myself any longer. Free yourselves if the scale still rules your mood. It's time to be thankful for what our bodies have done for us and treat it with the same love and respect we would to any good friend. Maybe it's still the endorphins talking here, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here who have been so supportive.

Congrats on your race!! And great attitude! Every time I get up and don't feel like working out, I thank God that I CAN work out. I try to remember the frustration I feel when I'm sick, or injured and can't physically do things and that changes my whole attitude about my workout. :happy:
Keep up the great work!0 -

Wow, how much gratitude you are showing is amazing!!! I love it! I think every word of what you put in your post is correct and spot on. The scale shouldn’t define how we feel about ourselves or who we are as people. We are amazing fat or thin….but we want to be amazing for as long as possible so its time to get fit, strong and healthy!!! I’d love to be 140lbs and a UK size 10…means I can eat more food hehe!!! x0
