Breakfast on break ... start of a new day.....

... as I sit at my desk having my breakfast on break ... 1/2 wheat thin with roasted turkey breast and slice of low fat provolone cheese .. two slices of apple and one tablespoon of peanut butter ... one think I could manage it all? nooooooooo so I ate what I could ... waiting 15-20 mins and will sip on my café half regular/half decaf ... and I am thinking while I am doing this....

All I need is one YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! and I know I will win this battle against morbid obesity for life ... I say YESSSSSS! to me today ... I CAN DO THIS! I will persevere... press on... pray and praise ... this is my empowerment collage today .. I am no longer where I was yesterday ... moving forward with my eyes on the prize of health and mobility .... Sistas on the journey ...we can do this!!! Life is worth it ... we are one step ahead of where we were yesterday no matter where we are on the journey ... whether we are starting the walk or staying on track or getting back on track ... 

  I love wearing eating healthy these days ... add a morning run .. zumba toning/fitness and aquazumba ... swimming... weights... sculpting and bikram life is golden ... I LOVE IT!!   This is my empowerment collage this day ... as I sip on my taza de café YUM... yikes ... got bags under my eyes for staying up wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy past bedtime .... and still did not miss my morning run...

Thanks to DH for prepping my awesome b-fast and lunches for my lunchbox when I am on the run.... ahhhhhhh decaf coffee with some regular mixed in is just what the doctor ordered on a cooooooooollllllllllllddddddddddd morning....I love love love my workplace ... awesome peers and truly supportive of one and each other ... where DIVERSITY ROCKS!!!   

I need to finish my autumn wall ... have another awesome project to work on over the weekend and I will get to it because right after Thanksgiving I am going to paint a Winter Scene that is toying around in my head ... I don't know how it is going to play out because I want to keep the pea**** ... do pea****'s and snow go together? IDK ... but since my artsy fartsy world is in my head it may just do so....  

Okay this thread serves no purpose ... other than to say WE CAN DO THIS!!! the worst journey is the one not taken ... have a blessed day all!!! and thanks for allowing me to share....

Your an inspiration  You look wonderful!

Thank you much Linda 

You're AMAZING!  Just what I needed to hear today.  I'm only 5 days post op and I'm wondering what I have gotten myself into!  Thanks for sharing, you are an inspiration!

Dawn I wondered the same thing ... it is only normal ... at five days out I was still in SICU ... at 3 months out I was still doubled over and still recovering from my post-op complication and on short term disability... I had buyer's remorse big time ... by the end of month 3 I was feeling a bit better ... month 4 eased in and I was rolling could barely manage 5 minutes on the treadmill but kept on trying each day ...I had to MAKE myself do it... it got better and better and it has been up and up since then....

Hang in there my beautiful sista!! it does get better .... Best wishes for a continued seamless and speedy recovery ...

I found this for you:

OMG ... thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!! this fits perfectly with the picture I have forming in my head .... YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
