April 17

April 17
Ok, It's Sunday!! I'm glad it's a new week, last week was super busy for me, to say the least. I started to understand my weight gain over the years, because I definately reverted back to my old eating habits. At least this time I was munching on good food, so I didn't gain any weight! But I went back to the grab and go again, instead of sitting down eating meals. I honestly didn't have the time to sit down, but it's something I'll need to concentrate on in the future, because I'm going to be super busy again in a couple of weeks...
     GOOD NEWS!!  I finally got up my courage to go shopping. I did need new pants, mine were getting pretty baggy, but honestly I was scared to  try on a smaller size. What if they didn't fit? BUT THEY DID!! I went down another size!!! They're snug, but I can wear them! I was amazingly happy!! I haven't fit into a size 14 for 30 yrs.! I know I have a way to go with the weight loss, but I'm re-motivated, to continue this journey I'm on. I'm doing this for me. I've been doing a lot of thinking this past month or so, and I'm always trying to please those around me. I think of others feelings, I'm always wanting to make things better, help whenever I can, find a solution, help the underdog, but this time, I'm doing something for me. It's about me, for me....I deserve this....we all do....always...Continuing to wish everyone the best. I get to work out with Hannah this week, I'm actually looking forward to it!!!!  God Bless Everyone!!!
