Biggest Loser of the Week!

I'm the biggest loser of the week!!! I'm excited about that! I've been so happy for everyone else that's been the biggest loser of the week, but it feels good to see my name next to the congratulations sign! :)
So, today, I did well. Our day started early and is ending late. I knew it was going to be a long day, so I made sure to eat my good food and to remember to think positive about myself. I had a board meeting tonight with my young women presidency and my advisers. I knew that there would be yummy food there, and I wanted to set myself up for success. So, I made a veggie platter. I didn't feel like I was left out because I didn't have a muffin (even though they smelled and looked sooo good!). I had my beautiful veggies and enjoyed every last bite! I had some red and orange bell peppers, cucumber, celery and grape tomatoes. It was really tasty! Anyway, I feel good about my choices today. At our board meeting, I told the ladies that we are all examples to the young women that we serve and teach. It is up to us to be a good example or a bad example, but regardless, we are examples. I have been thinking about that in the form of being an example to Dimitri. I am an example and it is my choice if I want to be a good or bad example. I choose to be a good example to him. I choose to treat my body the way that it needs to be treated. For so long, I have mistreated my body by feeding it things that were not healthy. I am so grateful that I have the power to choose what I will and will not do. I will be a good example and I will treat my body with respect.

  1. Congratulations, Janie!!!!! You did awesome! You are a good example! You're doing it consistently--you knew it would pay off, and it did--rather, it is. Much continued success to you. You're on your way down, down, down.
    Love to you,
    Mom

  2. You don't even know how happy I am that you won this weeks weigh in. I know you have been working really hard and that keeps me working hard. I know I can't win a week if I slack at all and I know you aren't slacking, so I have to keep myself in gear. :-) I really am proud of you. Keep it up sis.

  3. Good job Janie! I am glad you are having a great success this week. It is amazing how good we feel when we eat the right food. I ate fried food this weekend and it made my stomach hurt. Good lesson. Our bodies like good food!
