Sunday Photos - Week 3

Not much change...but my shoes are cute, eh?

(Monday) I am feeling pretty good because I did everything I should have done today! Yay! I made it to the gym and felt really good about my workout. I ate within my calorie parameters. I ate mostly healthy foods. I tracked my food. I got a bunch of those little things that I keep putting off done. Seth got to bed almost on time and got all of his homework finished. I am feeling accomplished!

There's a thought that's been on my mind a lot lately...I don't know exactly how it goes but it's something along the lines of "the more you make good choices, the easier it gets to make good choices." This is true for so many things in life for me, especially when it comes to making healthy choices for myself...something that had never been easy but, when I TRY, it gets easier with each success. This also applies to housekeeping, and spiritual areas, and routines...the more successes, the easier it gets.

The other key is taking it step by step, continuing to celebrate the small achievements and reevaluating the moments that don't work out so well and trying again. One thing I was reminded of the other day is something Lisa told me "don't wait until tomorrow to try again, try again with the next step." She was talking about health and nutrition, so she meant "the next meal" but I think it can apply to each step we take.

Good luck to you in your small successes - don't forget to recognize them and, for goodness sake, don't be too hard on yourself! You're probably the only one who expects so much from you!
