Sometimes, when motivation feels low, it helps to REMEMBER what makes you happy....

For me, I smiled today because....

I was down 2 lbs for weigh in this morning
I snuck in 'jacuzzi' time before work this morning
I'm sipping on delish coffee
:D

Sometimes simple things NEED to be remembered.....what made YOU smile??

    My hubby got home early from work, the dogs were happy to see me, I rocked it at the gym, and I had a truly yummy snack!

    Things that made me smile today:

    I took the weekend off from any exercise to rest. Got up this morning--no weight gained!!

    My 5 year old assured me (with a hug and kiss) I would be okay Monday when I drop her off at Kindgarten : (

    I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings in months because the center stone was a touch loose... Finally got to the jewlers today and had it fixed and cleaned! It so purty and sparkly again! :)

    My 7 year old crawled in bed with me and DH this morning. She woke me up with a hug and a kiss when my alarm went off this morning :heart:

    This morning when I went into my 1 year old sons room to get him ready, he was already awake. He hugged me, kissed me, and laid his head on my shoulder :heart:

    I saw a half a pound loss on the scale on the scale this morning.

    My kids agreeing to not moan about coming to the Y with me every day until school starts (I'm paying them, of course- nothing like a bit of motivation!!)

    I smiled today when my 2 year old learned how to float on her tummy in the pool all by herself today (I was right there, of course). I smiled even bigger when my oldest (5 years old) gave my 2 year old and hugged her and told her she was proud of her for learning how to float on her tummy.
    I laughed out loud when my 2 year old announced that she floated. It came out more like "I farted." ha ha ha ha ha ha.............

    3: Had no cravings today whatsoever.
