Work in Progress

I ate a BIG MAC, 2 HONEY DIPPED DONUTS, & 12 CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!  One day of eating like a maniac turns all of my excuses on.... I'm tired.  I'll skip the jog today.  I won't go to kickboxing class.  I just blew it anyway.  Before you know it a week goes by.  Then two and three.  I step on the scale....UP 5 pounds!  Now the guilt comes raining down like a powerful summer storm.  The shame follows quickly behind, with anger biting at my heels.  At this point I feel like I'm back to square one.  Frustrated and upset because I let myself down.  I swore I would never do this again.  But wait, it is time to regroup. No need to blame myself, beat myself up, or get discouraged.  I wouldn't treat a friend this way.  I'd support her.  So now I give myself the support I need.  I pick myself up.  Brush the crumbs off my face and begin again.  I dig deep for that kick ass attitude.   I must find it and use it!!  It's still there!!!  I must gather up all that angst about myself...I'm fat, I'm ugly, I'm old, I'm not good enough.  I must use the negative to fuel MY positive.  I AM getting healthy in MIND, BODY, & SPIRIT.  I AM ENOUGH!  SO today I laced up my sneakers and went back out the door.  I'm on the journey of REVIN UP!  It's a work in progress.  We are all a work in progress.

How's your REVIN UP journey?  Please leave comments below.  I'd love to hear about your journey.

    Written by children with terminal cancer:
    Be kind. Read more books. Spend time with your family. Crack jokes. Go to the beach. Hug your dog. Tell that special person you love them. And eat ice cream.
    It doesn’t mention diets. It doesn’t mention your being “fat” or “ ugly”. It lists what really matters. I would add: talk to your god , meditate and be grateful❤️

    All true Rev-queen! The easy part is eating more or being unmotivated. The hard part is seeing it and doing something about it. Great job.

    Wow, I can relate so much and it's always inspiring to hear others going through the same! it's not just my struggle, I'm not the only one with the "yo-yo" weight; but yes, the most important is to see each day like a new opportunity to start over! it's never over, we just start over and get moving again, and nurture ourselves with self-love, care for our health and our bodies! Go Kim!!
