We are ALMOST to Friday!

Phew, it seems like it's been a long week...  but, it's almost the weekend!  

So confession time.  Up until last night I honestly wasn't planning on weighing this week.  I felt like with me being up last week, and not tracking/making good choices Friday through Monday, that I was just going to be to depressed about the likely gain that I wouldn't even go and that I'd just keep on following the program and hit up a meeting hopefully next week before I went to Buffalo.  But last night as I was giving Claire a bath, I stepped on the scale.  Being in sweatpants and a tank top and it being 7 p.m. I expected to see close to 300 again/still.  But it wasn't!  It was pretty much what I weighed at my weigh in last Friday.

So that was inspirational.  Tuesday and Wednesday were great on-plan days for me!  I've been drinking lots of water - yesterday added a lot of lemon to it - and I've been staying within my points.  So needless to say, I'll be going to my meeting on Saturday morning :) I feel like I'm back on track. So fingers crossed!!!

I saw this yesterday on Facebook and liked it, so I thought I'd share:

We can't let our body or body type define us.  We need to be who we want to be and realize that the outside appearance doesn't matter.  I do want to keep my curves....just maybe not sooo many of them ;) I've got my goals, soooo many goals..... and I'm determined to get there.  It will take a long time....I've accepted that.... but I need to keep moving forward.  I can't get hung up on whether I'm pretty, hot, gorgeous, a "real woman" in any one else's eyes.  I'm still working on not comparing myself to others. It's hard. It's all a journey - and I'll get there :) I do have to say, that I do love the celebrities who are using their spotlight as an outlet to show everyone that "imperfections" don't make a person less talented, beautiful and real.  Whether it's their weight, stretch marks, rolls, etc. they're doing their part to try to relay to society that there's more to being a "real woman".  

Take it easy - and keep going!
