New you by the new year challenge (closed group) Week 1 resu

I AM...
no different than you. Except I've let other things take precedence over my weight.
often hard on myself.
better that what I let myself believe.
a daughter, a mother, a wife, a sister, a friend.
I am WORTH something to somebody.

I WILL...
make August my b*tch.
do my exercise for 60 min each day.
take one day at a time.
remember that above all else, I'm doing this for ME.
reach my ultimate goal weight.
stop having to lie down on the bed to button shorts that I got into last summer!!!
stop feeling sorry for myself. No one else did this to me.
understand that there is no miracle cure. It takes determination and willpower - 2 things I lack sometimes.
DO THIS. FINALLY. After trying and failing too many times...

I CAN...
because I'm determined.
because I owe it to myself.
because my kids deserve the best mom they can possibly have.
because I want to wear single digit clothing!
because I'm tired of being TIRED.

My mantra. Maybe this inspired some of you? Hoping to reflect back on this when the going gets tough. Today is a good day, but I know there will be many that will be harder and filled with temptation. Slow and steady WINS THE RACE.

stayed the same this week......have had a big family celebration this weekend which is why I'm posting so late, so 4 days off the wagon!

Got a wedding to attend on Fri so need a good week this week :happy:
