Getting back up...

Not every day is a lovely day and not every day is all sparkly and magnificent.  I have been exercising and watching what I eat...on a weight loss plan.  The past couple of weeks I have been struggling, trying to keep my chin up about it.  I had a little mini-breakdown today about it.

Normally, you would never hear me share this information online.  I am getting it out though and letting it go.  Today I was defeated by my scale.  My spin/zumba/kickboxing classes in the past couple of weeks have done very little.  I have a long road ahead of me and need to get all these 85+ lbs off me a little at a time.  The scale today was no friend of mine.  It is so frustrating to think that I have been heavy for so very long and that every little morsel of food I eat has to be accounted for, free of fat/sugar/salt/anything that gives it substance.  Don't get me wrong, some of my favorite meals are healthy and I love eating my grilled chicken salads, but really?  You mean to tell me if I put a sprinkle of cheese on my enormous salad that I will not lose weight?  Ok, lets just make it a naked salad then right?  I will just eat lettuce.  C'mon.

So,  you see...here is where i am...mad.    the fact that I have to be so very careful and walk such a tightrope and work extra extra hard at this for little reward each week can be a very heavy load to bear.  I need to just get it out and put it out there in the universe so I can be rid of the bad feelings and thoughts and let them go.  I am getting back up, and staying the course.

I have incredible support from Jose.  Just amazing.  I cannot believe how much he loves and supports me.  Let's me complain and helps me stay focused.  He believes in me when I don't believe in myself.  These past couple of years were very difficult and trying on our marriage.  We were tested and at times I thought we would fail...he never did.  Every day my eyes are opened just a little bit wider to how lucky I am and what a wonderful life I have with him.

I am getting back up.  I thank you for letting me get out some ugly that was festering inside.
