The choices we make can either be good or bad. So many don't realize that even our attitudes and feelings are a choice. We have a choice each day to make that day one in which we will react to our circumstances or choose not to react. I can choose to let someone else's bad day ruin mine, or I can choose to not take on someone else's attitude. When Dan and I were first married we worked for a sales organization. I still remember listening to a motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar who was talking about this topic. He gave the scenario of a man being a work and having a boss that was berating him all day long.

Hi Terri,
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone continues to loose week after week without having a week every so often when they don't loose or gain. I think your body is just readjusting at this point. This is the point when people get disappointed and usually quit. Don't get discouraged (I'm not saying you are) but just take it in stride and keep on with the plan. Your doing great!
I had the same kind of week. No losses nor gains and inches remain the same. I'm at 21 lbs. now and 17".
Also today because it was homecoming I endulged and had some desserts but find I can't eat very much because I get full.
So tomorrow it's back on with the plan and hope for a lb. or two loss this week. :)
Love,
Mom
Terri,
