To any other Lighten Uppers who may read this: CONGRATULATIONS on the first month! Everyone's worked so hard; though our results are different, we're all doing great and should be proud.
This weekend was a turning point for me. On Friday I was still throwing myself down the stairs, so to speak; Saturday I started pulling myself together; and on Sunday the fates conspired to get me to an early WW meeting -- the one led by Carole, who is so good at getting in my head. It was worth it.
Following the lead of my favorite blogger, Sheryl in NY, below is a list of my accomplishments from this past weekend.
* filled 3 bags of clothes, books, etc. for donation
* cleaned out the tupperware shelf
* planned & shopped for not only the week's dinners, but also for my breakfasts and snacks; I even went back to basics and packaged my snacks
* painted my middlest's nails
* insulated myself from things which cause me anxiety
* heard an inspiring homily from our awesome new pastor
I'm still feeling a little shaky, but that's okay though. The easy times are great, but strength comes from working through challenges. I've gotten really good at the physical challenges; now I'm working on a mental challenge. So I'd better get to the gym for my daily dose of endorphins to help me through.
