Instant Gratification

So First off let me just say..I got on the scale today and it was still 227. Thats all I want to say about that b/c the more I dwell on it, the more upset I become. I also have to take into account that its the Time of the month and all of us women know what that does to the scale. I (all of us actually) have to understand that this is a ongoing battle and even when we reach our GOAL weight, it will be another battle to face..MAINTENANCE. I've been the same weight for months but I'm using this plateau as a lesson for my upcoming weight loss goal. How to maintain weight and how to cope with not having everything you WANT when YOU want it. 

"The Race Is NOT given to the SWIFT nor the STRONG but to he who endureth to the end!"

I have to press on and keep reminding myself that this will pay off. Only God knows how long this will take me but I know that I must encourage myself. I am thankful that I started this blog because I am surrounding myself with likeminded people who always offer an uplifting word when I need it (which is often). So seriously, I just want to thank all of you who are getting fit for sharing your journey with me and I hope to have some of the success you all have or are working towards.

Im still working out and doing this Shred so I'll stay focused and track aggressively. I have to keep fighting. I have no choice.
