"Three of the most powerful words in the English language are 'I AM RESPONSIBLE.' It's tough to do, but when the day comes that you can say those words, believe them, and mean them, it will be the most liberating moment of your life. Taking responsibility for all of your results, for better or for worse, is taking back your power to create results in your life."
-Tom Venuto

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on my "falling down" blog. I think there is definitely some truth in what you said about how that wedding I went to might have had something to do with my detour with bringing up some emotional stuff. I hadn't really thought about that but it makes sense.

Good for you for making so much progress on you C25k program! I fell behind a little on mine but am back on track!

"Just because we are knocked down does not mean that we are out.
We still have breath in our lungs and tears flowing down - all signs that we are alive!
Take a deep breath and be reminded that often our biggest struggles are stepping stones to our greatest victories."

Just stopping by to wish you a healthy, happy week, Spark friend! Keep your goals in mind and keep pushing yourself every day to get closer. It isn't easy, but never forget that you are worth the effort!
Hugs,

Yes, the Mindfulness Challenge has been a lot of fun - I didn't realize how much I would eat if I didn't pay attention to what I was eating (yeah, it seems obvious, but you know how that goes!). I'm also kinda getting the hang of analyzing how I feel before I eat and how that impacts my meal. All in all, I'm learning a lot!! Hope you like it too :)
