Conquering the scales.

Conquering the scales. That box today. Hurt, crushing moment of owning my responsibilities. I did it. I admit it. It hurts. I wanted to cry. But this is what my story is. Lesson learned. Struggles. Ugly tears. I know. Why do I act surprised? This is my purpose. Not to lose the weight only. To understand. Embrace. Maintenance. Yep. This crap is hard. I’m over goal. Up on the scale. I’m telling YOU! I had to pay. It’s so frustrating. Dealing. Coping. Resetting. Period.

Listen. I’m working out harder than I ever had. Pushing myself above and beyond. Lifting. And freakin loving it. I started something new. I reached lifetime with WW and I have to realize I have changed. Period. It feels good. To be healthy. Strong. Fierce. Nothing like knowing I am capable of working out along side girls that are unbelievably healthy and freakin tough awesome friends.. Strong as CRAP. I can and will figure this all out. It takes time. Stop obsessing over the box. Focus on your non-scale victories. No matter what. This is a story of progress NOT PERFECTION. Each and every day is what it is all about.

I’m not saying the scale is your complete enemy. Just realizing that there is so much more to this journey. It’s hard to embrace after focusing so hard on losing . Realizing that there is much more. Living. Living fully. I wanted that. To live without tracking. Picking up my phone. Looking up food. Stressing over every bite. Here it is. Pure truth. I have to be accountable. To my life. To my health. To tracking my food. To consistent workouts. To living my life. I know it’s hard. But it’s exactly what I have to do. To be successful. To live. Healthier. Happier. Stronger.

So here I am telling you real honest truth. That all of this is HARD. DANG HARD. It takes everything out of you. Emotionally. Physically. Spiritually. Takes every moment to figure it out. One day at a time. Pushing through. Taking all the positive comments. Negative. Positive. Uplifting.. Motivating. Inspiring. Encouraging.

It’s all up to ME. Up to YOU. To figure out our journey. What we Want. Need. Goals. Dreams. Prayers. How this life we think we have figured out is suppose to be……NOT OUR WILL BUT HIS.

SOAK IT IN MY FRIENDS….I’m here for you.

I LOVE MY JOURNEY. Story.

Love YOURS!!!!!!
