Awakening Within Journey: 18 MONTHS SOBER!

Awakening Within Journey: 18 MONTHS SOBER!: 18 MONTHS SOBER!!! I remember that day that I first walked into a meeting...I was so scared and wanted to run. I had no idea what was in ...

TRUTH...
I weighed myself this morning and gained 15 pounds!
Before I would make excuses and put blame on other things so I wouldn't have to admit what was really going on. It seemed so much easier to hide behind baggy clothes and put a wall up...I didn't want to be seen.
I was in a miserable place back then...I didn't like how I looked...I was disgusted with myself and I didn't believe in me.
When I saw that number this morning...I KNEW I had a choice to make...

1. throw myself a pity party and do nothing
OR
2. get off my ass and keep going!

I NEED to remember "why" I started and keep doing this for me! Even though I have bad days and struggles....going back to the lonely place I was is NOT an option!

This journey is so very important to me and reaching my goals is just the icing on the cake.

STUMBLED....STAY DOWN OR GET BACK UP???

Things have been crazy lately...

We have had fires all around us and I have stumbled BIG time in my fitness and nutrition.

I have not worked out in two weeks and have gained 10 pounds...the only one to blame is ME!

I chose to not workout...I chose to eat like crap.   Now I have a choice to make.

Do I stay down or do I get back up and keep going?

I can stay down and throw myself a pity party OR I can remember my "why" and keep going to achieve my goals.

I remember how miserable I was when I gave up and did nothing.  I have to ask myself..."Do I want go back there?"  HECK NO!!!

I refuse to quit....everyone stumbles and has roadblocks BUT what we decide to do with those can make a difference.

I CHOOSE TO KEEP GOING!!!
