Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero
A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople. I loved the community of that place and the support I got there. It was at the height of us being on our game. That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation.

ReplyDeleteWeekend was good. I had a super productive day yesterday in the kitchen and got a lot of things done so I felt good about that. Errands today and my annual eye exam smack dab in the middle of the day, so we'll see what I accomplish after that.
