Got results???  I do!  Today was a super day to be on the scale..I am SO excited about hitting 19 pounds today!!!  How does this happen?  I am doing what I started out to do just over two months ago. 

I want to ask how you feel about the way you feel?  Are you tired from everyday activities?  Would you benefit from being healthier?  I know that I am surprised everyday at the changes I see in my own life due to the weight loss so far.  It is really a great way to start your day!

Starting your journey is important...getting there is the goal.  Find happiness IN the journey and smile:)

Day Sixty five

Just like brand new snow that looks so amazing, and then melts to reveal the ugly dirty snow beneath it we have to be careful to stay in the attitude of new snow.  What the heck am I talking about? 

Yesterday I had new photos taken thanks to my dear friend Joy of Augeson Photography.  She spent the time needed to get the most amazing shots, ones that I love!  Now, in the past I would have criticized all of the photos personally noting all the things I hate about the way I look.  Yes, I am that weird!

This time, I started a little and then pulled right back.  I am excited about these photos, and even shared them!  My friends told me that they loved them too and now?  I am so happy to have them AND look at them.  Why not?  Why do we pick ourselves apart that way? 

Today I challenge you to think in the mindset of new snow.  It is all prettied up and looking fresh.  Let yourself enjoy without being critical.  Just smile , inside and out.

Day Sixty Four

Happy Monday!  Todays attitude is one of abundance...and I am glad about that.  I think that today will be a good day for goal setting!  And to start that off, I am setting my first goal publicly.  Today, all day I will follow my plan just like when I started it out two months ago. 

Progress is important and it is really fun for me to discover what works, and what doesnt...even when things go wrong, they are helping me to make progress...toward my goal of 50 pounds in 90 days...

Day Sixty Two

Fabulous Fridays...I love them!  It is definitely crunch time when I hit Friday mornings, and my business is on a roll.  There is so much to do when I am moving forward and LOOKING forward to a weekend full of fun.

Today, the scale challenged me a bit.  I am still headed downward just two pounds from last week but that is ok.  I am back on track, working the plan better than the entire month of February and it is starting to show. 

Just last month I was walking in the beautiful waters of Cancun Mexico.  What a treat!  I thought about not showing this photo as I am still working on feeling great in photos.  Hey, what would I tell my friends and family if it were them???  Enjoy life, and let it show!  So today I share with you a photo of a dream.  I earned my trip free with Creative Memories, but the cool thing is that I have the photos to remember the whole trip!  And I am in them:)  

Be proud of who you are, and work to improve the things that you do not like...you can do it too.
