Reality

I have not disappeared, nor given up any of my goals... The cold/cough season hit our house. Enough said.

I do, however, want to thank those of you who have left such supportive and encouraging comments. They are wonderfully motivating on those mornings that I feel like staying snuggled up in my (very) comfortable bed. 

Here is my reality: I am not one of those completely positive-all-the-time people. I have my moments of doubt and disappointments... especially when focusing all this time and energy on my weight, health, shape, etc. 

BUT...

I have chosen not to put those thoughts "out there." I will not bring anyone, including myself, down with negativism. I am focusing on the little signs along the way that I am doing a good job:

-more energy (even while battling a cold)

-today I didn't feel the need to over-layer to hide that middle area (and felt confident about it)

-better eating habits

-lots of great forward-thinking

Again, thank you for your well-wishes and positive energy and thoughts coming my way. I need all I can get! 

And good luck to all of you on your journey...
