What the past 28 days have taught me...

 Challenge was accepted the goal was crushed!! In the last six months I have watched everything go topsy turvy, I have set and accomplished goals and am mind blown by some of them...and I am in a head space that I did not think possible, the head space is happy. I am not talking happy like smiling and giggling..like happy. Like deep down, peace and the ability to say that life is good...when people ask me how I am...Busy, tired, but happy.

So the goal was 140,000 steps and 56 miles in 4 weeks...met. Well now I need a new goal. The new goal is 154,000 steps and 70 miles.

I am 18 pounds from first weight loss goal...then we set the next 25 pound goal.





As I reset the fitbit goals this morning and I was looking at the daunting numbers...I remembered the end number does not matter till the last day...for today all I have to do is hit that 5500 and 2.5 miles and one day at a time I will meet the final goal.

I also have done some soul searching these past fours weeks and I feel as is if, for once even though I am at my busiest, I have a firm handle on it. A lot of that comes from two things I have found in recovery....I am worth it and I matter and keep your circle full of those that will help you rock, but not bs you with sugared coated words.


                                                                                                            

                                                                         

                

This is something I am working on little by little. See I am taking control of what I can and that is I can drink more water, I can drink less fizzy lifting potion, I can eat more veggies and less cake. I can be more active but listen to the cues my body is setting forth and take breaks as necessary. I also have learned that I have no control over anyone...my three year old helped me learn this lesson. 
So what I do have control over is who I do spend my time with. I am on a journey to get happy...Happy, not content, not mildly enthused...HAPPY. 

Now I am not saying those around can never be sad, or I won't be there for the bad days/times. I just choose to surround myself with those that will not dwell or wallow in those days. I have to do it for me to ensure I don't wallow as well!!

So on the self discovery the next 28 days...I am focusing on worrying less about what people think, I am focusing more on being around people who lift each other up...I am also gonna work on apologizing when I have no reason to be sorry.

I also am working on some internal monologues and  getting in touch with my inner Jennifer Ann as needed. I am no longer taking problems out on my husband, that are not in his control.

Can't wait to see how much stronger I am in 28 days!!!
