Welcome and Happy Friday! How has your last week been? Did you try something new this last week? Are things going the way you would like them to? Has your focus changed or are you still working toward the same goal?
Things are going well here. This week I am celebrating the freedom of choice. I have been sidetracked for so long by what the scale tells me that it has taken some of the joy out of the journey. This week I am skipping the scale as it is my choice to do so. Although I have been ill for going on two weeks now and have surely lost weight, I am going to just enjoy the journey this week and focus on the changes I am making and not what the scale dictates. I can return to stressing and fretting over it next week or the week after, it is my choice. Being a healthier person is so much more than a number and as I fed my family veggie corn dogs last night so I could enjoy the illusion of junk food, I realized that I am a lot healthier than the person I was at the beginning of this blog. Perhaps people that look at me don’t have that as their first thought but my family knows it and at the end of the day that’s who counts.
If the scale is taking the joy out of your journey to better health, try putting it away for a while. You can be doing your best at any size and no one can ask more from you than your best! I may or may not like what I see when I decide to drag it out, but you know what? It is my choice to do so, and take the results as they are. I will continue to do my best regardless and hope you are doing the same!
