Whew..here we are almost at the end of summer! Getting ready for back to school time!!! Changes in store for our family! We have one leaving for college this weekend!
We have been traveling ALL summer!!! Left our house June 3 and was home for a few days at the end of June then left again July 5 and just got back home a couple of days ago.
What was my mindset this summer? To do the best I could with the situations that were before me! Normally my mindset would have been..oh I'm not at home, I'll just do what I want! How did that work out for me? Well better than I thought!!! I managed to only go up 1.5 pounds! Which could be as simple as water weight from sitting so much in the car or the hotter climates that I found myself in this summer! What ever the cause, I am starting to get myself back on track and getting back in control of the choices I make!
This past week in Phoenix, I had the wonderful honor of meeting Ken and Austin Andrews! They were contestants on Biggest Loser 11! What a great source of inspiration and encouragement they were and are to me! They both encouraged me to keep pushing myself and to take care of myself.
I don't know how many of you are like me...you tend to put yourself last because there is someone else who needs more help than me! Well it was pointed out to me that if I don't take care of me, who is going to be there to take care of my family?
So whatever you faced this summer-if you stayed on track and had a very successful summer or you fell off the wagon and had a not so hot summer--it's time to start taking care of yourself! You are the only you there is and no one can take your place!
So like I have told myself...just because you fall off the wagon doesn't mean you wallow around in the mud hole having a pity party!!! Pick yourself up and get back on the wagon!!
Keep on keeping on!
