Finding thanks in the small things

Well, things have been difficult for me. I haven't been doing as well as I hoped, but I am trying to find joy in the small changes.

I have lowered my soda and tea intake. Instead of drinking those things only, I have now started drinking water and maybe having one soda.

I have been concidering pulling out my Weight Watchers stuff and trying again, but I think I am afraid. I am afraid to fail again. So in my mind, if I never try , I didn't fail. I know that is not correct, but I am trying to figure out what makes me tick. So I have been trying to make changes and eat better, but still not where  I should be in order to lose weight.

I went to the gym one day this week so far. Okay, I know I need to work out  way more, but again, trying to be happy with even going in the first place.

I pray daily that with time, this all will become easier and I will be 100% soon!

It does get easier!

I stopped drinking soda a few months ago and went to water only. I took a drink of my husbands mountian dew over the holiday weekend and just about spit it out of my mouth in front of a room full of people. I think it is great that you have cut back on your soda and tea. They just aren't good for us. And you will be healthier for it.

Did the WW help you before when you did it? If it did then I say try it again!

The gym...for me anyway, it kinda sucked at first. I was sore and nasty sweaty. But after awhile it got better. Now I feel like crap if I don't go. I look forward to going because I know that it is making me healthier and helping me lose weight. Plus as an added bonus I am out of the house. Away from the kids (I love my kids but everyone needs a break now and then) and it just makes you feel good about yourself.

It will get easier...just hang in there...you can do this!!!
