Calling all turkeys who want to set a Thanksgiving mini-goal. This is the REAL post! Gobble,...
The only time you fail is when you fail to try!!!
Well, I didn't hit my goal but I've been a little of course trying to COMBAT a terrible upper resp infection........I lost 1 lb but I haven't been able to exercise and my doc said to try to get this taken care of and then work on the Goal weight.......I'm finally getting better (sick for 12 days and counting) so I'm ready for the next MINI challenge and I'll take home THE GOLD!!!!!!
The only time you fail is when you fail to try!!!
I just wanted to say that you all are doing wonderful!! I'm so proud of each of you. You all are so inspirational...makes me want to go jump on the treadmill lol !!
I wish I could join in the challenge though!! I'm actually gaining weight for my pregnancy ..and then watching everyone continue to lose weight has really put me through a mental ringer. Everyone tells me that they can't really tell I've gained much weight, that it is all belly...blah blah blah. I'm reminded of those pre-op moments when I would always hear.... "you have such a pretty face, if you'd just lose weight, you'd be gorgeous" I haven't thought about those days in such a long time. I also hear, oh you can lose weight after the baby is born...well I don't want to gain it in order to have to lose it later. It was so hard losing it to begin with!! I'm sorry, I have gotten off of tangent here lol.. I tend to ramble but did want to post to say how inspirational this challenge has been, not only for each other, but I'm sure for those lurkers out there as well. I'll be joining the challenge in 4 more months, just in time for summer! Take care!
April ~ This is such an exciting time for you. Don't let Satan steal your joy by getting your focus off that beautiful little life growing inside of you. This is one time that you know God is using YOU to bring about a MIRACLE! Bask in that... And just think, after your son is born, while the rest of us have to "just walk", you get to push a stroller! That weight that you're gaining right now will drop off --- because you already know and have already implemented so many healthy habits into your lifestyle! And from the beginning, you will be making such healthy habits a part of your child's life --- literally making a healthy lifestyle all he knows! What a blessing! Until then, we will be as excited for you and the changes your body is going through as you are for us. And in 4 months, we'll still be here --- ready for you to join us again! I'm excited to meet you soon... have a great day! ~ Tara
