Progress!!

So with Holidays and anniversaries and all the tempations I think I have done pretty well. My focus has been like the race that tripped an athlete and she got back up and just kept running. She actually ended up winning the race. I learned a lot from the clip that I saw just days ago. First of all we all trip, sometimes we fall, sometimes we just slow down. Either way we cannot stop and sulk. We CAN but WHY would we? My opinion on that is- if you slow down to stew about the progress you HAVNT made you are slowing the progress you COULD BE making RIGHT NOW!! The other thing is that it really does not matter if we are the first one to the finish line. The process, I THINK is way more important than the actually winning. (although I LOVE to win!) BUT when you DO fall GET UP, dont take time to brush off or look around to see who saw you fall just GET UP AND START RUNNING again. DO IT. So that is what I am doing. Spending less time worrying about how long it takes me and just enjoying the journey.

Today I went to the chiropractor. Ouch. I am in pain. Not from him but from the weight I am carrying. I figure I have about 50+ pounds on JUST my stomach. It hurts. There is not one moment that goes by that I do not feel pain. Not that I dwell on it but I have learned to deal with it on a daily basis. Sometimes (about once a month) my back get tired of carrying all that weight and it goes out. In a big way. Easter Sunday I spent on pain killers just buying time until I could go see Matt on Monday for an adjustment. Today I feel a little frusterated but I am NOT giving up until this weight is gone!

Celebrating small milestones is important for me. SO HERE IS MY PARTY WORTHY NEWS----I WENT DOWN A SHIRT SIZE!!! Now its on to my ever-there four letter word H-I-P-S. I am coming after you guys next!!!
