Well I haven't lost anymore weight, but I haven't gained. I have a plan to get on a routine and get back to being on track. Hopefully all of my crazy life happenings are over and things can settle down and I can get into a rhythm.

#2 was great for me. I do have a inner struggle with all my challenges. If I can master myself on the inside the other things will just fall into place.
#4 was a slap in the face! I do feel hurried all of the time and it makes me feel frazzled and put kids in the mix of that and you get crazy Mommy! If I can calm down on the inside I will be able to take the hiccups on the outside. I feel like this is easier said than done though!
#6 bam! there it was!!!! Let me be honest, with this weight loss stuff I always set a plan, stick to it for a while and then I start to self sabotage and it is because I don't really believe that I will achieve my goal. I have failed so many times before. I mean how many times on this blog alone have I started and stopped. I'm sure it is annoying to others, just as it is to me. I use to be so sure of myself and so arrogant (not really but that is the term that came to mind) about who and what my abilities are. I have lost that in the mix of marriage, kids, and life in general. I NEED that back because I know that I am a lot more Bad Ass than I give myself credit for.
#8 I love it!
#9 this is such a good one because so many times in my life people have taught me to work on my weakness' and by doing that I have put my strengths and best qualities to the side. Somewhere in the last year I read or heard someone say something to the effect of strength your strengths and let go of your weakness'. I really liked that! Focusing on just my weakness was making me feel like a failure. I think it takes a good balance of strengths and weakness so you don't get discouraged easily and you can get over the hurdles easier.
#11. Love this one too!!
#12 this is something I am working on now! I had this before I got married and then with marriage I thought that I had to sacrifice my happiness for the greater good, if that makes sense. My husband has been helping me realize that he married me because of who I was and he wouldn't ever want to change me, and that I should never sacrifice my happiness for anything. This is hard for me because I am a giver and I will give everything for others to be happy and comfortable. It is a growing period to get back to where I was, but I know that I will be a better me because of everything.
Overall, I am happy again. I am able to speak my mind without worry of what others will think. I am setting some fabulous new goals, which I'm not quiet yet ready to post. I need to be confident inside that I am going to achieve them before I post. I feel like I am on a great path again and ready to move some mountains! I have always felt like a mover and shaker and now it's time to take action!
I will leave you with this piece of motivation: To live well is to be inspired. Today, do the things you have always said you wanted to do. It can be that simple.
