am giving myself a BIG FAT 5 for Thursday! I was careful about everything I ate yesterday AND I went to water aerobics! While doing my water aerobics, I made it a point to concentrate on my movements and to do them as correctly and as purposefully as I could. Yes, I am a little sore today. lol I thought for sure I would’ve lost a pound or two but figure it could be a bit of water weight. I will drink extra water today to help shed those pounds. This morning, while watching my daily dose of Joyce Meyer, I learned something very powerful. If I want to be happy, I need to love myself. Nobody else has to spend the rest of my life with me but me and if I have to spend the rest of my life with ME…I might as well love myself, right?! And, loving myself (to me) means being the best I can be from the inside out. From the choices of food that I put into my mouth to the positive self talk that I provide…it all needs to reflect how much I love myself. Of course the way I put it and the way she put it are two completley different things! LOL Her way is much more powerful and enlightening. That’s why I like her so much. While splashing about during water aerobics last night, I realized a couple of ‘new’ things about myself. 1) I am starting to enjoy the feeling I get from exercising. It gives me an “I can do this!” feeling. I CAN lose weight, I CAN overcome my sugar addictions, I CAN be a healthy person! 2) I really enjoy searching for new ways to feel better by the types of foods I can consume. I’ve really enjoyed my discovery of wheatgrass! 3) I actually feel, within my heart, that I WILL achieve my weight loss and become a healthy person. It’s like a burst of energy from within that can’t wait to get out! I like it! =) I’ll leave you with this great quote from Joyce: You can choose to be pitiful or you can choose to be powerful, but you CAN’T BE BOTH! I’ve chosen to be powerful!
