The time is flying by so quickly! I am losing weight and inches but I am also gaining perspective about how I got this big and how not to return! I have challenged myself to do more; cleaner eating, more exercising, and drinking more water. Just to see what happens! Thank God that I have the husband I do because he’s picking up a lot of my slack…without complaining or obligatory high fives (you know how they can be!). I only have seven weeks left and WE have every intention of giving it everything WE’ve got. It really has been a joint effort and I know I would not be doing as well as I am without his support…and massages! I didn’t gain all this weight in 12 weeks but I have already had Blessings in my life so I know what God is capable of when you put your faith into action.
It is getting easier to not eat the things I am not allowed. It is getting easier to breathe and enjoy a workout. My two year old who has NEVER done daycare just runs to the toys without giving me a second thought. I have more energy during the day so that I can still maintain my responsibilities as a housewife and mother and be 100 during my workouts. I can’t help but recognize that all the factors (excuses, really) that kept me at almost 250 pounds are falling by the wayside. I know it is because I finally know what it means to step outside of what I think is me and start loving and taking care of myself the way it was intended. Whether I win this competition between the girls or not, I already know that I have defeated my greatest enemy.
Tica,
You are a strong woman. What you are doing for yourself and your children is wonderful. Not only are you making yourself feel great,with all of the health issues you have challenged in your life doing this is giving your children many more years with their beautiful mom. Good Luck to you!!
You have such a fantastic sense of self and family. I love reading your blog entries and know that you can make the changes that are required in your life. This week’s post is so uplifting! Congratulations on having the right mind set to get through the next 8 weeks and the rest of your life. Your husband must be the perfect man – it seems like he really “gets” it.
