Motivation

Time has been scarce lately, so unfortunately this blog got moved lower on my priority list. Sorry about that; but I'm sure you all understand.
I've lost 1 pound since I last posted. I'm not particularly thrilled though, because I don't "feel" great. For me, I'd rather feel good than see a certain number on my scale. All the blame lies squarely on my shoulders though. I haven't been eating as well as I should be. I'm still sugar-free, but my portions have been a little too large, and I don't always eat the vegetables and fruits that I need. I am going to make an effort at getting back on track with healthy eating.
I do have some new motivation that will help with this. Sometime within a year from now our family will be taking a trip. We're hoping to visit my family in England.... that I have NEVER met before! We will be seeing my Grandfather, Aunt, Uncle, cousins, etc. from my Mom's side of the family. And I will also see my half-sister (my Dad's daughter), whom I have only met once about 20 years ago, and her son... the 12 year old nephew I've never met. As you can probably guess from the above sentences; my family dynamics are a little complicated! Anyway, if I'm going to see these people for the first (and probably last) time; I want to make the best impression that I can. I realize that there is more to a person than looks; but I'm sure you can all understand my logic here.
I hope you're all doing well this week. Keep glorifying God in your bodies!!

Bless your heart!! You sound so bummed! Don't get discouraged. Keep going! Don't give up!! I've had weeks of gain and ALMOST had that attitude of defeat but I look at it as it could have been worse. But I also do like you are....blame myself!! It is my fault when I gain. No one else's. So just keep going and you'll be doing better in no time!!

Dear Pam, What motivation to have. I am so excited for you. I think you will make the very best of impressions on your family. I know that I wish I had the priviledge of meeting you. Keep on and don't quit, you will make it if you pray and your heart desires it enough. I am praying. connie from Texas
