I had a good week, staying on my Weight Watchers Points, and exercising 5 days for 30-45 minutes in the a.m. I was discouraged as I weighed myself every morning only to watch the scale creep up a point of a pound each day. I know there is fluctuations in weight throughout the week, but weighing in every day keeps me accountable to what I am eating. I just need to keep in mind that the weekly weigh in each Monday shows the weight loss! So today did show a weight loss of 1.8lb over the last week. That is a total of 4.6lb in the last 2 weeks. I am getting there!
I also downloaded a weight tracker app on my phone. I like punching in my weight losses and see the graph coming down.
I feel good and the adrenaline kick I get in the morning still lasts all day :) Usually in the afternoon I get cold. I mean really cold. I hoped in the shower a few times to warm up, and that was useful as it gave me a boast of energy to get me through the crazy dinner hour!
The Rest
Over the weekend I was reminded of my blessings. I was reminded how my choices in life have guided my path in life and also how they affect those in my life. I am grateful for the support in tough times that got me through, and the guidance that lead to good choices so I can be where I am now. I am safe. Emotionally, physically, and mentally. Among all the other blessing in my life, those are so easily overlooked and taken for granted. Because I take the good things for granted, and after awhile it becomes the standard and I forget that it is not like that for everyone.
Although my heart is heavy for those who are not safe, my heart is filled with love and gratitude this morning. I kiss my husband goodbye as he heads off to a new job. I watch as he closes the front door behind him and heads off into the still dark morning to work hard so we can have this life we have. As each of my wee ones get up, arms outstretched for pick ups, I snuggle my face into shoulders, and slip my arms around tiny waists to breath in their sleepy bed scent. O I am blessed. Beyond what I could have ever dreamed of when I was young.
