SAHMU PINK TEAM- WEEK 6 (CLOSED)

Hey guys. Michelle and Amy- sounds like you two are rocking this week- way to go! Michelle- your before pics are smokin lol! You look great!
Tayla- I hope everything is okay, and I hope the power's back for good I can't imagine what you all are going through.
Bad week food-wise for me, I'm hoping to just stay at the same weight as last week to be honest, that would be a bonus to me! Working hard today but I'm sure the damage is done. Just gotta push through all my BS and not let myself get to that self-loathing place!

Emotional challenge- My aha moment was looking at a checklist for 2011 we have up beside our calandar at the end of June, I realized the year was half gone and I hadn't even started on my goal of losing 30 pounds in 2011.. Just watched as the other things started to get scratched off. Normally I would be discouraged and right it off as "maybe next year" but I realized, hey, if I start today I could get pretty darn close to my goal if I actually TRY. Every couple of days it feels like I need to pull myself back on board because I truly have an unhealthy relationship with food, it's one of my best friends- as sad as that is.. I think I had another aha moment yesterday and I'm gonna do my best to let this be the driving force that gets me to my goal WITHOUT all the major setbacks.

Here's my emotional challenge:

I don't really remember having an "aha" moment. It's just be a gradual change each day for me. Last September, I figured "why not walk Caeleb to/from school?" and then that made me think "why not try and eat smaller portions?" then that made me think "why not try to eat a little healthier?" and then I discovered MFP. I've changed a lot since September, not just physically, but much more emotionally and mentally. I am so glad for the energy I have to spend time doing things with my sons. Looking back at pictures, I'm disgusted at how I looked, but even more so, how much I never wanted to do anything. Some of that was due to being tired from carrying around all the weight, but a lot of it was because I wasn't happy with myself. I'm still not 100% happy, but I'm getting there, and that's why I will NEVER go back to my before.

Here's today's exercise info:
27 minute walk at 3.5 mph burned 104 calories
20 minutes of light cleaning burned 51 calories

Also completed the 25 Tricep Dips with Bent Knees and the Superman poses for the challenge.
