    Ok, so, I am really bad about updating! I love to read the post and you all are so encouraging. Here is my weekly challenge:


    Tues-I love that I love my job.
    Wed-I love that I get up every morning to go to the gym (I love my gym.)
    Thurs-I love that I was blessed with a wonderful son and spontaneous husband.
    Fri-I love that I can picture myself thin even though I'm not there yet.
    Sat-I love that I my life is never boring!
    Sun-I love being able to walk by a pan of brownies and not even trying one tiny bite.
    Monday-I love that I have the dedication to track every bite in MFP!

    I love that I cleaned out my closet this week and got rid of THREE garbage bags full of stuff that I'll never wear again...because it's all too BIG. Yay!

    I love that I reached my walking goal 10 out of the last 15 days.

    The old me (the me I'm trying hard to shed) would have beat myself up for coming up short 5 of the last 15 days.

    Ok this might not sound very positive but, I love the fact that today is the first day I didn't cry at all, after my breakup and I am feeling better by writing it here where I won't be judged.

    This is positive, provided that allowed yourself time to grieve the loss of your relationship.

    There is NOTHING wrong with crying!
    It is when we don't allow ourselves to cry over our hurts that we have a problem. (believe me, I know)

    Today I love how I feel in my skin. I feel thinner and more sexy, even though I still have a fat *kitten*! Lol. I'm more confident.

    Today I love that I am finally starting to notice the changes in my body. I look in the mirror and can finally see the smaller person that's there...instead of seeing the person that was there four months ago.

    Today I love how much more active I am. Not just exercising but even with housework

    I think this is a very healthy approach!

    Yesterday, I was watching "Batman Begins" with my son. Something that Batman's father said stuck with me. "We fall down so we can learn to pick ourselves up."

    Too often we fall down and just lay there or worse, we kick ourselves while we are down and even invite others to come along and kick some more.

    I love that I'm thinking daily about ways I can improve my health. Having those thoughts at the forefront of my mind helps me to stay on track and set future goals.

    This is harder than I thought. Ummmm, today I love how I'm learning to to be so hard on myself. I don't have to be perfect or super mum. Sometimes you can't o it all.

    I'm proud of the fact that today when I got from a very stressful day of work (we had inventory and not enough people to do it) I didn't even think about food. I just logged on the computer and went right to MFP. This website is my new sugar rush who would of believed that.:noway:

    I am having a great deal of trouble with this challenge. So, I went looking for help. I plan to read the following web page once a day for the next week and then once a week afterward. (planning and doing are two different things, but we'll see):

    I love that I am trying to love myself. ;-)
