NSV:

My hubby is a photographer (uses it for work and it's a hobby too) so lots of photos. I used to be concerned with the ones he has taken of me but now I don't even care. And he has gotten some great ones of me lately - shared freely on social media. They seem to be the most popular things I share. People like seeing me share photos of myself and not hide. There is a joy and a love of life that exudes from my face and smile now. My face looks a bit thinner too. I think I look better now than I did 4 or 5 years ago but more than just looks. Self-love? Happiness? Thirty is purty.

New day, new week!!!

Up quite a bit on the scale today but that's ok! Yesterday we had a church picnic where I sampled almost everything without guilt (didn't go back for seconds so there is a positive!) And had people over for dinner. I made a purty dessert and ate some too. I enjoy, need even, this flexibility. Otherwise I am a control freak. My old self was so controlling we didn't go to social stuff (or I didn't eat there) or throwing caution to the wind, I would allow myself to indulge far beyond the one social engagement. I call this a big win.

The scale doesn't bug me. It may come down, it may not. All I know is it isn't changing what I am doing. Today, back on my macros. Will hit the gym. Plan in taking my boys to the park. Hopefully will get some cleaning done. Will watch something from the DVR (gotta clear that thing out since I will be gone for a whole week of the Olympics! ) And get some zzzzz's . Then, to repeat, daily.

Going to a place I have never been to next week, gonna enjoy it! Then come back and get into the routine again.
