I've come a long way in this weight loss journey, and it's hasn't always been easy. I'm so grateful for the help and encouragement I have received from Spark friends! Without that encouragement I wouldn't be where I am now.
Today, I feel confident that I will never go back to where I was. I will never gain that weight back. I've made the needed life style changes to maintain this weight, and I don't miss eating the junk that I used to eat. I feel guilty if I don't go to the gym or at ...
I've come a long way in this weight loss journey, and it's hasn't always been easy. I'm so grateful for the help and encouragement I have received from Spark friends! Without that encouragement I wouldn't be where I am now.
Today, I feel confident that I will never go back to where I was. I will never gain that weight back. I've made the needed life style changes to maintain this weight, and I don't miss eating the junk that I used to eat. I feel guilty if I don't go to the gym or at least walk every day of the week, so I know I'll be ok in that area as well.
My next goal is to work on toning my body. Weight lifting isn't the most pleasant for me, but I'm working on incorporating it into my daily routine.



Daily Positive Affirmations:

A t all times
N ever ever
C easing to love myself and
E njoying the journey every step of the way.

PERSISTANCE = SUCCESS

Thank you ACLUBB5!

"You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you are doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle."

Just cruising through leaving everyone with some motivational thoughts for today:

“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.” ~ William James

“Bear in mind, if you are going to amount to anything, that your success does not depend upon the brilliancy and the impetuosity with which you take hold, but upon the ever lasting and sanctified buldoggedness with which you hang on after you have taken hold.” ~ Dr. A. B. Meldrum

“The goal you set must be challenging. At the same time, it should be realistic and attainable, not impossible to reach. It should be challenging enough to make you stretch, but not so far you break.” ~ Rick Hansen
