So good, so far!

Today was a great day for me. I did everything that I feel classifies a perfect day for me. I'm really excited about reaching my 10% weight loss. That's 25 lbs!!! I am looking forward to going to the spa! I've been looking forward to that since December! I decided though that I would wait until I had lost 10% of my body weight. I'm getting close to that. Now, I'll have to think of something great for my next 10% weight loss reward! It's funny, the first thing that I think of as a reward is going out to dinner. Hmm...food, food, food...I do eat a lot of food and that's good, but I don't always want to think of that as my reward for doing something well or right. I think the spa thing is a great incentive for me. I'm glad Cean gave that to me for Christmas! The other thing that will happen when I get to my 10% point is posting my progress photo!!! That is going to be great to see the picture side by side! I know that I've made some good progress and it'll be fun to SEE the progress in a photo.
Well, while it has been a good day, it's also been an emotionally charged day. I am ready to go to bed and rest my mind and my body. It seems like the past couple of weeks have been very trying for me. I just need to remember what is most important in life and keep my focus. I am so grateful for the family and friends that I have that are so supportive of me. I feel that that has been a huge part of my own personal success with different things in my life. Specifically with this time around of losing weight. I was telling Cean tonight that my routine is becoming second nature. I don't have to think so hard about what I'm going to do during my day, or what I'm going to eat. I have always kind of "suffered" through a change in my diet or physical routine, but not this time. That's why I know that the weight that is coming off is going to stay off. I am doing things that I can do the rest of my life. What a great feeling to feel in charge of something! There are so many things in life that are beyond my control. So many things that I wish I could control. At least I can control how I treat myself and how I think about myself. I can control my actions towards others. I can choose who I want to be. I have control of the progress that I do and do not make. Hmm...I guess there are quite a few things that I do have control over. :)
Okay, now I'm ready to hit the sack. Nighty night! :)
Oh! PS Jeff, I really liked how you changed "so far, so good' to "so good, so far". Thanks!
