Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
I have found a new way of thinking -- a new way of being. Having finally reached stage three of my sparkpeople journey and making it to my half way mark, i realize that there is NOTHING that can hold me back.
Even though I have lost, gained, gotten in crazy good shape, gotten sick and slightly depressed... i have realized that as long as i keep myself facing in the right direction, even a step back doesn't undo all the work i have done and will continue to do once im back on ...

Here's a little secret... i have done sparkpeople twice before under different names, and each of those usernames tried time and time again to lose that weight; but the second i started slacking I scrapped it all and swore to start fresh... another time.
This time i recognize that it is not a fast OR easy process. There will be slip ups, there will be set backs, but if i'm climbing to the top of a mountain, do i keep going back to the bottom when things are tough? No! I either work through it or camp out as long as I have to and then keep climbing when I can!
Here's to reaching the TOP.
