Dear blog type friends.
Struggling with weight once again. I go up, I go down - I gain, I lose.
I need a focus, I need a goal.
In 5 months we will move into our new house. 2 years ago (almost exactly) we moved into this house and with that came the start to 2009 - battle year. From January 2009 I was in and out of hospital and dropped down to an astonishing 120lbs. Not by will, in fact I desperately clung to each pound as it shed away.Needless to say it was a terrible 6 months.
Purchasing this house was more than a step into our future but it was a chance to put bad memories that much further in the past. I could physically leave them in the old house. More than that, it gives me a goal, a focus.
A focus of health and of change. I am trying desperately to gain focus on what I want most - to remain healthy. This meaning not just body, but mind and spirit as well.
The photo below is my short term goal. We were at the gym 4 days a week, eating fantastically and were very proud to suit up and go out.
Now the photo below is my long term goal - mind you it is from 4 years ago but again it's a long term goal.
(sorry to my lovely sister that I cut out but I needed to have make a clear focus)
So there. it's out there. I am setting my eyes on the prize and I'll try to keep you updated - whoever you are!
I remember reading Norman Vincent Peale:
ReplyDelete“Throw back the shoulders, let the heart sing, let the eyes flash, let the mind be lifted up, look upward and say to yourself ... nothing is impossible!”
I see my two beaautiful daughters smile, I see their laughter, I see their first step, and their first fall....many of them. But they get up,,,smile and try again and again.
Remember, you do what you must do for the most important person in your life,,,yourself.
I see two beautiful women....my babies .
