Scrap Your Trip 40% off Cricut Ends Tonight
It’s Friday! It’s Friday! It’s Friday!
It feels like it’s been a long week (probably has something to do with getting up at 5am every morning!) 
Thank you to everyone for your support and well wishes in my new fitness quest. I’m proud to say that I lifted a total of 11,020 pounds yesterday and have lost a total of 1.6 pounds this week! I have also been able to drastically reduce the amount of food I’m eating. It’s amazing how little food it actually takes to fill us up, if we pay attention.
Here’s my trick: The moment I think to myself, "I’m starting to feel full", I take one more bite and stop eating. If you take more than one or two bites, then the brief feeling of fullness goes away and doesn’t come back until you are too full, and that’s obviously too late. I’m telling you…my stomach shrunk fast and I’m eating WAY less than I used to. I heard that the key to getting fit was 80% what you eat and 20% exercise. Don’t know if it’s true, but trying to get better on all fronts.
One of the comments on the blog really resonated with me: " I decided this was the year to take care of ME…I will do it because it’s for ME not my kids or my husband."
Somehow along the way, selfish became a bad word, with lots of negative connatations. But what if we used the word self-care instead? Or self-preservation? Don’t we all deserve to take care of ourselves and allow ourselves the gift of time to do that without feeling or being labeled "selfish"?
So, to Dawn on the blog…congrats on this being the year to take care of you. I’m right there with ya’!
