They both fall under the category of taking care of ourselves and our families, yet we so often think one is important, and not the other. In reality, they are just things we have to do like brushing our teeth, bathing, eating, using the bathroom - all things we wouldn't normally avoid. But exercise and taking the time to prepare good food? How long have we made excuses that we are too busy, don't know how, don't have time, etc.<br />When we start viewing these activities as regular, normal, everyday, it falls into place.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09983236449210019827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-13735283794142793792009-07-24T21:44:08.857-05:002009-07-24T21:44:08.857-05:00I sooo want to be you and graduate from Diet Menta...I sooo want to be you and graduate from Diet Mentality School, too. (Love that, Kelly). Some days I can, some days I can't. Right now I'm in a cycle of can't. *bfer* What is it about being on the road that makes me so diet crazy? <br /><br />And when did this become all about me? See how I work? ugh. <br /><br /><br />I'm glad you're feeling better and writing coherently :) I thought of you when I discovered the Whole Foods just a few miles from my BIL in Houston.

I would still like to lose another 10 lbs. I still have to MAKE myself run a lot of days but it has been almost 4 months of running and I can see that it is starting to turn into something that is just part of who and I and not something I am trying to FORCE myself into, which is a good thing.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648049238771250699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-73067182464897684962009-07-23T10:18:47.012-05:002009-07-23T10:18:47.012-05:00Great post Shelley!

I was stalled for about a month and then I started dropping again and I feel sort of suprised about it because I'm not working as hard as I was when plateaud. Weird stuff. I am feeling very slightly panicked because my 14s are getting loose and that means I have to go the Regular Store and they don't seem to deal in clothes for small-waisted, big-bootied women.
