Just gotta want it.... and a new catch phrase.

I don't know what smacked me in the face last night. It might have been walking the poochie and passing by my new house.... but my "Just gotta want it" was entirely revitalized. I knew I had started slipping, and that apathy was poking me back into my seat, but instead, I got up and got moving. 

I let the dog run the show and he was so happy and energetic that it rubbed off on me, and I found myself jogging beside him, laughing and giggling at his great faces and bounding gate. Before I knew it, I was standing at the end of my soon-to-be drive way and staring at the house while the dog ensured to mark every inch of my soon-to-be mailbox. I thought about what I remembered from my first house... and I thought about what my kids would remember about this house when they moved away one day. And I just let the picture of it burn in my mind. Then we jogged off home.

Something about that moment has really kicked me back into gear. I plan to hit the pavement hardcore today, its gorgeous out to do it. Just gotta want it is BACK.

This morning I got on the scale and wrinkled my nose at what I saw. I did the usual thing... said it was water weight, waved my hand and said I didn't care... then a new phrase came out I didn't expect, but rather liked. "Its just where I'm starting, not where I'm ending". Something made me stop and think about what I'd just said for a moment. I rather like that one.

ONWARD to coffee, walking the pooch and eating right! (and hockey games)

Sion - You are so special!!!!!   Dion't you treasure moments like those? - They are what makes this journey worth while - insignts are every bit as vital as compliance for our well being.
Thanks so much for sharing. 

Jump for Joy Because You're You and know that I'm jumping for joy with you because you're you

Thanks for allowing me to be me - and accepting who "me" is on the not-so-good days as well as the spectacularly-wonderful-days. 

Thanks for sharing Sion. You are a huge (no pun intended) inspiration. I am very happy for you that things are starting to come together. Know that you are appreciated and loved.

We all need to pick a spot in  the middle and get together sometime.
