I’m finally coming out of my funk or low. I’m also on the mend as far as the cold goes. However, I always over do it the first day I start feeling better. I’m going to stay home, and plan out what I need to do, instead of just running around to catch up on everything.

After the calculation on FitDay.com I decided to modify my diet a little bit today, and then start working on a total re-haul. What I’m doing works, it’s just not a permanent diet, and there is way too much sodium in my diet as well.
Motivation:
A while back a good friend of mine told me I hadn’t really realized that I’m a bit bigger then I think I am (after trying on clothes all in sizes that were too small). I was so glad she said that. Now that’s a good friend. She was right. I had been in denial, and had recently gained back 10 lbs of the 30 lbs of baby weight I had recently lost. In that moment I started to lose my resistance and eventually started to accept where I was physically.
“What you resist persist, and what you deny strives” Eckhart Tolle
Now, I feel more aware of the choices I make on a daily basis, and how they affect the body. By completely accepting my current state of health, I can go forward with a positive attitude making any necessary changes. I am the only one responsible for my health, even the genetic stuff.

I agree, it’s good to have someone tell you the truth, I always respected more the friends who would tell me their honest opinion, not those who just said nice things to me. In my case, it was a relative who told me I really needed to lose weight and it took me a little while to stop feeling ashamed and actually realise I need to do some changes. Now I feel so much better that I listened.

Yea! Coming from the wrong person I would have taken it the wrong way. Luckily I totally respect this friend and knew she would never say anything if it wasn’t in my best interest. Believe me, it was still hard to hear. I sent her an email just yesterday, thanking her for being such a good friend. I’m not sure if I would have the guts to tell a best friend their in denial about their weight. That takes courage.
