Forever

For the rest of my life......that's the goal. 

The A-HA moment is when I realized that eating healthy and exercising isn't to be the skinniest I can be but to take care of the body that I've been given.  Everything else will come.  It's scary to think about the hours that turned into days of time I've spent reading about diets and exercise. What I should eat and what I shouldn't. Oh and be sure that every single one of them contradict the other!!! It's absolutely ridiculous!   I'm so fed up with it.  And I'm done. I'm done obsessing about how skinny I once was and how fluffy I am now. I'm tired of feeling guilty about a 4 mile run run I should have been lifting weights.   Or taking the day off either. Frankly, I know I need to lose weight but I should do it with the purpose of feeling great, feeling healthy and taking care of myself.  The weight will come down if my balance and priorities are where they need to be.   Also, lose the urgency! I've always tried to do what will gain me the fastest results.....which in turn led to nothing because it wasn't maintainable.  Well this time....I'm not setting a weight loss goal for a specific time or cutting out anything that I love to eat.  I love Mango! I'm so sick of people telling my that mango has way to much sugar in it.  Hello people! Its the most purest kind.  The kind that grows from the ground. ugh. Done, done, done I tell ya! :)  So let's raise our glass, (of water) and cheers to loving ourselves for all the things we do right and the awesome ladies that we are. :)  Love you all.

Healthy on girls.....

  1. Jen - i love your philosopy! I'm right there with you, or at least I'm trying to be. Be happy, drink water, and eat as many mangos as you want! (btw, that's how i feel about avocados!)
