Progress is sweet!

It is a beautiful morning, sun is shinning and winds are light, at least so far. And the scale said 190. Now if you look at yesterday, that is up half a pound.  So why is that good? Well because I was not well the day before and figured I would be up more just from regaining hydration. Since I did not, it means a true weight loss.

The other deal is once again, I know I am getting in position for a weight loss period.  I don't really get why I have these cycles. They are not the plateaus that you always hear about. Those are when you continue to work at it but don't make any progress. What happens with me is I "fall off the wagon". Go back to not great habits or whatever. The good thing is even those periods are shorter and not as severe.

So here I am, ready to conquer the 180's. If I were to check back, I think that means I really did nothing progressive since February. I know no one is really keeping track....but that would be losing nearly 2 months! (Notice I did not check, approximate is good enough for my failures or lack of progress).

Progress is sweet. And here we go again.

I like the quote "You only fail when you stop trying".  So I may have "rest" periods, but I will never fail!

What will you do today that is another try? What will you do today that may be your victory? What COULD you do today, that you might be afraid of failing at, but you might find you succeed at?

I am learning a little more all the time that there are no true great victories, only great little steps that we learn to be consistent with.

Give someone a hug. Look in the mirror and say "I am a wonderful and good person".

I will.
