I have 5 days left... 5 days folks... count em - okay this isn't Sesame Street so I don't "really" expect you to count them. But still 5 more days and I am through the 1st 40 days!! I am very pleased with myself for sticking with it and believe or not, I am pretty excited about the next 40 days to come. I Recently, noticed that it has become clear to me that before this I have never spent much
time celebrating my accomplishments. Sure, there is always a little
‘Woo Hoo!’ but the minute that is over, I seem to move on and forget as if nothing special ever happened. Maybe that is why this has been so important for me to celebrate every victory in this journey.
From Skinny Girl Stalls to discovering those ever so slightly showing curves again, I have to be honest and say that for the first time in a very long time I am proud of the woman I am becoming, the choices and changes I am making and I am beginning to like me again. These changes have not been easy, but they have been worth it. This is huge because that hasn't happened in a very long while. So are you ready? Do you know what's coming next? Come on.. Guess... You know it!! It's time for...
The Happy Dance!!!
Oh, yeah uh huh... doo dee dah.. la la la
Oh wait... where was I? Sorry about that... Got a little carried away for a second. So back to what I was saying... Celebrate every accomplishment and be proud of it. From getting a thank you for going the extra mile to getting a promotion... From losing 1 pound to losing 35. It's those moments that make it all work while. And I will honestly tell you that I was just as excited about the 1st pound as I was the 35th. I have this precious, awesome co-worker/friend that every time she walks by me now, she does this hand motion to signal "Girl you are slimming down" and I LOVE IT!! It makes my day and motivates me to keep going.
I think this blog has been the biggest factor in me sticking to something and not giving up or backing down. The awesome encouragement I have received both in my comments and in my email have been such a blessing and joy. You beautiful wonderful people.friends.. Today, I celebrate you right along with me - For making me laugh, for pushing me farther, for protecting me when you think I need it and most of all for not making me do this alone. You have been such an amazing blessing to me. Thank you seems so small but Thank you so much! I pray continued blessings on your life and your journeys and know that I will always be here to cheer you on as well!!
"Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!"
Psalm 32:11
Awesome! We will still get updates right? Even if they aren't daily? :-)
