"she went on a long journey"

It's not a race that I'm on... it's a journey. It's not something to be rushed.  It's something to  take in the sights and appreciate where you've been, what you've seen, what you've learned along the way.  I have an idea of where I am going, but going with the flow and taking the turns as they come.  Weight Watchers has still been going well. I'm enjoying it!  It's really helped keep me moving in the right direction.  

I weighed in today and was up a pound.  I'm good with it.  I could make excuses and say that it's because I was wearing work clothes, or weighed at a different location, and a day early at that.... but I gained because of choices I made. The weekends are where things go crazy. It was Mother's Day weekend and yeah.... I enjoyed. LOL It's life.  Maybe I should, but I'm not willing to give up all the celebrations.  It's all good though.  I've been moving in the right direction. I've come a long way already.  In 2 months I'm down almost 14 lbs from WW.  That's nothing to complain about!!  

I've come so far from my heaviest too.  The first pic here was close to that point (28 lbs heavier).  I'm still not happy with how I look in pictures.  Mother's Day pics were still really hard for me to look at.  I just see myself as huge.  And then I'm like, how was I 30 lbs heavier?! UGH!  But even with that, at least I can say I'm not there anymore.  I'm not going back. I'll keep moving in the right direction - even if it's a half pound at a time.  I will reach my goals.  It may not be in a year...or two...or three..... but slowly but surely, I will get there.  

So with that, I keep going...keep moving...keep learning and I'm going to get there.

Ran into an old friend while weighing in today. Someone who's come SO FAR on her journey.  

A real inspiration :) 

I want to inspire one day! #Goals
