As we all know, a lot of this journey is mental. It is learning to love ourselves and believe that we can live a better, healthier, more active life. This week I would like to focus on Attitude. Your attitude can make or break your progress. So I challenge YOU to speak positive of yourself. Complete these questions, add your own positive thoughts. This is a place for anything POSITIVE you would like to remember. I would like to fill this thread with positivity so when we start to struggle we can use it to find that positive energy again. We can keep this going throughout the duration of the challenge.

What is your favorite thing about your appearance?

-Completing the Mount Snow Tough Mudder. It was one of the hardest things I ever attempted and I pushed through the mental self doubt and even completed obstacles that were definitively on my HELL's NO list.
What are you looking forward to the most in 2015?
-Stepping up my training and trully finding the athlete I know is itching to get out.
Who is your biggest cheerleader/supporter on this journey?

- Sub 28 minute 5K in December
What is your favorite thing about being in your 30's?

What is your most recent Non-scale victory? Sticking with breastfeeding, even when I had to bite my lip till it bled. "This, too, shall pass" - and it did. Those first four months were painful, but the bond in nursing is amazing.
What is your favorite thing about being in your 30's? I don't care as much about the opinion of others; every day I'm more comfortable in my own skin, confident in my thoughts and beliefs.
What is your favorite motivation/inspirational quote? Weightloss is like brushing your teeth. If you happen to miss a few brushings, you don't beat yourself up about it, throw in the towel and quit. You just pick up that brush, and brush!

This is great! It is awesome to see so many great things from a group of amazing people. I had a great little NSV today. I was looking in the mirror (naked) after my workout and I notice that there is a little definition in my abs. It isn't much but it no longer just looks like a giant spare tire, there are little lines on the sides separating the middle from the the sides.0

Favorite Appearance: my nose (I know that I can't really change it but I am good with that because I think I have a perfect nose-for me).
Greatest Strength: I am a hard worker and always willing to help out others and/or share my knowledge.
Proudest Moment of 2014: Buying a home.
Looking Forward to in 2015: Meeting my initial goal weight of 160 lbs and hopefully working to drop a bit more, but one goal at a time (38 lbs weight loss initially and at least keeping it off).
Biggest Supporter: myself with some sideline support from my husband.
Non-scale victory: Getting back into the gym
Favorite thing about my 30's: I feel like my life has finally been able to grow some roots. My husband is active duty and we have decided that after this tour, he will retire so we have picked a home and have decided that we will make this long term. I have been able to really focus on my career and have settled down on a path that I know I can keep.
Favorite Motivation/Inspirational Quote: "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!" I have said this to myself a couple of times over the past 2 weeks during some of my workout sessions.

Jealous! This is a goal for me. It would definitely help me in my OCR races (monkey bars, over head walls, rope climb) to be able to do a few. I can muscle out a few with about 60% of my body weight. I think it will be better when I get a little more grip strength. My hands give out way too quick.0 -

Have you ever been to Mammoth Caves National Park in Kentucky? It is absolutely gorgeous. The park has some amazing caves and there are bunch of small, privately owned and toured caves in the area. It was one of my favorite, relatively inexpensive vacations. I can't wait for my boys to be a bit older so we can go back and take them.0
