Day 3: on a roll

Last night I got home and first thing I did was work out. I was pushing to do 2 miles and ended up doing 3. I felt good afterwards too. Second thing I did for myself.. I shaved my legs. They weren't that bad.. but you never really realize little things like this make you feel good. Let me try and explain. I had a I Don't Care attitude for so long. I didn't take care of myself. I was too worried about taking care of everyone else. I didn't even think I did a good enough of job with my kids because I got into this funk. But I didn't care much about my appearance, my hair, my clothes.. but now.. this is a whole new me. I have to start taking care of what's most important. Yes.. my family is very important. But so am I. So.. this is my journey..

Doing South Beach... it's working out pretty well. I cheat here and there a little bit. But I'm not gonna make that be my downfall. Before if I'd cheated I would just say screw it and fall totally off the wagon. Now I'm just gonna write it all down. Be fine with what I've done and just try and work towards being better. Tonight is our company dinner.. so definitely will be a little bit of cheating there. But I'm still gonna push on.

Well back to work I go..

You go girl! You can do this. I too let myself go and since being "single" I have really turned things around and become some what selfish. I make a point of putting makeup on and doing my hair before leaving the house. Why? Because it makes me feel better.

Making yourself feel good on the outside can sometimes help make you feel better on the inside. ((hugs))
