YAY, forward motion.. LOVE this..and had to pitch in as well..
Before i do, i want to say, these passed 2 weeks have been slow for me..
i haven't been exercising like i should, and have been eating well, but still could be better portionwise..

Because of that, i weighed in yesterday and pulled off a 1lb loss..
i was at first, disappointed.. REALLY disappointed, mostly because i knew i slacked off a lot most days.. i have been walking and exercising, but nothing like i was.. Getting back into routine of things since getting back from Oregon - but...

Today i am choosing to celebrate 1 lb loss, it wasn't a gain - nor a plateau..it was a loss of 1lb for 2 weeks..i'll take it, and now, moving forward!

Gratitudes -

- i am grateful for exercise equipment in my home..treadmill, elliptical, workout dvd's, small weights..No matter the obstacle, between work hours & teenager drama & everything in between, i always have a means to be active within the comfort of my own home.

- i am grateful for a gym membership, which currently awaits activity, but i refuse to let it go, because i will become an active gym user, despite my work hours, i will try Zumba, and i will try Yoga classes and i will do weights at least once a week - therefore, gym membership stays & it's a goal!

- i am grateful, for love & support from my loving partner♥, Mtn...& other family & friends who continually motivate me to move forward and keep going, on this journey!! Including this thread!! (((((thank you alllll )))))

- i am grateful for OA meetings, meditation, therapy groups and all the tools i have in place to not only work on my weight loss, but my addiction as well as my eating disorder.. i'm finding myself in such a healthy, happy & well balanced life, day to day - i love it!

- i am grateful for my ability to purchase healthy foods, & finding new healthy foods i love, more everyday!

- and lastly, i am grateful for drive & determination.. this is the hardest battle i've fought in my entire life, and it can also be hard on those around me.. i am grateful for my ability to be vocal about it all & not hide anymore - being accountable, inspirational (to some, even) & finding strength to build confidence & love myself more - it all pushes me to keep going...

Cuz moving forward is the way to go!!
& sooooo happy to do this with all of you, we ROCK..
Keep it up everyone, - this totally was the motivation i needed today to get back in the game!
