Progress ladies, not perfection....it's all good

Sounds like we are all making positive choices (one piece of licorice, not the whole bag, realizing where you went wrong, and getting back on track, 1 glass of wine, not a whole bottle, etc...) and checking in with reality and eachother. The road to sexy is not always smooth, it is gonna be bumpy with many detours, but it is a path that is designed to get us on the correct path to life long health and a healthy weight. It is hard not to beat ourselves up or second guess our efforts, especially when others around us may have insensitive commentary, (hey, I dismissed the only prospect of a man in my life cuz' he said I have a big butt), but it's about how we feel within ourselves and feeling comfortable with our choices. We will not always make the best choices, but we are only human and this is life, we just always have to see where we can improve and strive to do so. We cannot undo the past, so it is a waste of time to live with regrets and second guessing of ourselves, and life is too short to be down on ourselves for every move we make. So, as I embark on this year in life, I am happy to report that I am sober, have only had one glass of vino, no dessert, (even though I did look at the menu, but nothing appealed to me), and I am not depressed about not having big plans for tonight. I enjoyed lunch with a good friend, and saved hundreds of calories by not going out and partying or drinking at home by myself. This is a positive change for me and I am happy to see all the positive changes in you ladies, so keep focusing on those, and let the not so positive things go. I think we have all done very well in our first week, and can only imagine how we will continue to improve in the weeks to come. On that note, I'm gonna go bike riding to combat my boredom, will check in tomorrow. Thank you for the birthday wishes. KEEP PUSHIN' ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
