This morning I stepped on the scale and felt frustrated.  Like really, really frustrated!  That mean old scale was mocking me.

I had a good week last week.  I was proud of me efforts!  And for a moment, well a few moments, I considered quitting.  What does it matter to put in all that effort and have no numerical result?

Then I remembered that I am down a pants size.  I remembered that I didn’t sleep enough last night (and that matters significantly).  I remembered that I wasn’t quit as strict yesterday.

I reminded myself that this is a long term goal.  I reminded myself that there will be days where it doesn’t seem like anything is happening, but it is.  I reminded myself that some days won’t seem as victorious as others, but they all lead to victory.  I reminded myself that nothing will change if I quit now.

Tonight I am thankful for not quitting today! I exceeded my exercise goal for today.  I met my fasting goal for today.  I exceeded my protein goal for today.  And I exceeded my water goal for today!!  It was a pretty good day to not quit!  Now I’m tired, going to bed, and will meet the sleep goal for tonight!!
