Four years.....Changing the Insanity of my Life!
My 4 year anniversary with Spark People is upon me and all I can say about that is............WOW....where have I been and what have I been doing these past 4 years? Am I thinner? No....Am I more fit? No....Am I healthier.....yes. I am eating healthier than I have in years and I'm much more consistent in letting go of the treats. But, sadly, my weight has remained pretty much the same.

My 4 year anniversary with Spark People is upon me and all I can say about that is............WOW....where have I been and what have I been doing these past 4 years? Am I thinner? No....Am I more fit? No....Am I healthier.....yes. I am eating healthier than I have in years and I'm much more consistent in letting go of the treats. But, sadly, my weight has remained pretty much the same.
I've had all this time to change this and have been absent from my own life! I actually recognized this LAST week, believe it or not, and began to SERIOUSLY make some positive changes. And I've already begun to see changes in the number on the scale.
I know that consistency is the key to success in life. I also know that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
So I choose to STOP the insanity! I am grateful to be alive and well and able to enter in and make a better plan! I refuse to sit down and be counted out!
I'm just going to keep putting one foot in front of the other and count my blessings and get active in my OWN life! I can do this!!!!
Blessings to all the "sparkies" and good success to you! And thanks for not counting me 'down and out' for the count! I will not be absent in my life anymore!!
