I typed this blog on a Sunday instead of Monday like I normally would…. I am sitting here at Camp Allen where I have been for the last few days for a scrapbook retreat. We are staying at a beautiful log cabine with rocking chairs facing what is suppose to be called the lake…damn drought. But all in all it is beautiful out here. I would recommend this place to everyone.
I was thinking this weekend we are all sorts of walks of life. Some tall and skinny and some short and plump and it amazes me regardless our shape and height people are happy being who there are. I think it is SO GREAT that people out there are not starving themselves to get skinny. Case in point this weekend I don’t think anyone here was caring that we stuffed out mouths with carbs after carbs after carbs. Now I was good however, I ate my healthy snacks, did portion control and pace myself and took my shake, supplements etc. Maybe not my trainers ‘dream’ come true but come on let’s be realistic I am NOT perfect and well this is a retreat. Hahaha
I did weigh myself this week however and for a 5’ gal I am 135…now some people will say what is wrong with that well to you nothing to me well that is a lot for me. I want high school weight or close enough but want to do it in the healthiest way possible so if I will be 110 at age of 70 so be it…just kidding-ish But I have been weighing obsessed which I HAVE got to stop. The scale isn’t going to change from this morning to tonight by much. Luckily my scale is at my parent’s so I can’t keep getting on it like I would want to. The good thing however is I have love and support regardless if I fail from my sister, my sisterhood here at #Mamavation and all the sponsors that allow and support us to do this in the best ways possible. One day I will have the hard abs, the tight butt and legs to die for until them I am just … well me and so far I like me J
Mamavation Monday:
This weeks blogging carnival is sponsored by EatSmart Products. Two bloggers will receive an EatSmart Precision Pro Diet Kitchen Scale.
How have you recently stepped up to support someone in your life? (online or IRL)
I have a dear friend/business partner who is like a sister to me. We have only known each other for a short time but somehow God has totally but us two together. We are so alike in many ways and support each other.
Anyway her husband lost his job and God knows I know what that was like…raising three kids and no income coming in and no savings (what is that?...lol) Well this weekend I was with her and we were talking about our kid’s birthday parties. She stopped and thought how most likely she won’t be able to do one for the other two kids like she did with one this year. I told her since I know when their birthdays are I will make sure somehow I will save money for both so they can have a birthday party they wanted and if there was anything else I could attempt to help on to let me know. It is far ahead I know but I told her that no matter what I support her and will do my best to help whenever I can where ever I can.
We all have to be here for each other regardless what life may throw at us along the way. I am a true believer in KARMA and well it can be a bitch if we don’t play our cards right. That is why I am willing and wanting, which is the most important part, to help and support my friend. I know if the shoe was on the other foot she would do the same for me.
Well this is all from me for now…until the next time…Hope everyone has a terrific and blessed week.

Aww, you're doing so well, Vicky!! It's so hard to be gentle about our imperfections, so congratulations on getting that far! The scale is a bit of a mind worm, isn't it? But day-to-day weighing can weigh so heavily on a person because the progress seems so minute, whereas weighing on a weekly basis means the results you see are greater, so they have more of an impact. That and it's so much more exciting to see those results after a week of anticipation ;)
ReplyDeleteGood job taking care of yourself while you're on the retreat! It's so hard to stick with it while you're traveling, and I'm so proud of you for working it out!
