We are woman...Here us ROAR!!
Ok, I'm in a motivating mood again! LOL I was just here in between getting ready to go to support group tonight and it hit me that I am stronger, more powerful, and more determined of a person than I thought. I have today sucked it up more and not let this funk, this weight stall etc keep me down. That even though I know it sucks, it's depressing etc. that I'm not going to let it stop me. That makes me feel GREAT!
I got down after the scale showing up 2 lbs instead of down this morning after all I've been doing, anything I can do to make it move. But I told myself that I'm still going to the gym (after my little tantrum this morning lol). I just knew that I couldn't let it keep me down. So I went to the gym and afterwards I felt great!!!
This afternoon I remember that tonight was my surgeons office support group. I mentioned it to DH when he called at lunchtime. I was like.. "i wanna go, but then again I dont wanna..." etc etc. I originally wanted to go, because I know that I should and the nutritionist from his office is the guest speaker today. I figured I could ask her some questions, maybe what she thinks of the stall etc. But then I felt like a failure because I am stalling, that maybe I'm doing something wrong and when I tell her what I eat, the exercise I do, etc etc that maybe she'd tell me something I didn't want to hear. So I had decided I wasn't going! Then someone on the main board posted, she is 7 months out, feeling out of control, eating more than she should and feeling bad because her visit to the nut, just told her that now she would lose only 1-2 lbs a month. WOW, depressing huh? I tried to give her some support, words of advice, and one of them being going to her support meetings. How could I tell someone to go when I wasn't going to go? I decided right there I was going to mine.
I just felt here while getting ready that I can do anything. I didn't realize I had this much committment and determination in me. I like it! At the same time it is work. I have to make myself do these things,, I don't just get up and do them every day. Some days yes, but it seems most lately that I have to work at it to make it happen. But I am proud that I am doing it. I am making the best choices, not letting my body make the wrong ones for me.
So I was thinking how we as women are stronger than we think. We (not I personally) but we have the strength to go through childbirth, a mother would do whatever to protect her child, we take care of our families, we've made this decision to change our lives and it's a big change. We form together and get stronger and stronger, motivate eachother to keep going. We are doing things we never in our lives thought we could. We can do anything and I love proving it to myself everyday.
With each thing I accomplish: pulling myself up and making myself go to the gym and doing what I know I need to do feels great. I feel proud right now of the person I am. I love the new strength and hope it continues to flow over into everything I do in my life.
Ok, I'll stop now. I just hope you are all feeling this high. I hope that you are pushing yourself even if a little to do more and more and feeling a great sense of accomplishment once you do it. Have a great rest of the day. I'm off to finish getting ready here (takes me awihle with the hair, make up dress, im high maintenance at times LOL) and then home in time tonight for the big game. Goooo Pittsburgh Steelers!! 
Isn't that the truth! LOL I'm not working right now, so I have lots of time on my hands to do whatever I want and in between doing that I think lots. LOL I haven't found anything permanent yet, done with the last temp job, nothing new yet. But have to stay temp now for at least another month. Going on a business trip with DH next month to Toronto. WoooHooo.. great city, can't wait. Tickets bought and paid for so I have to be free for that. I get to go and shop, exercise at the gym at the hotel (which I might add is goreous!! I';ll be taking lots of pics!! ) they have a spa, I'll see what I can afford to do there lol, mall close within walking distance (and since I can walk good now, no problem if it werent lol) So anyways. hope you are having a good day
