R1P2D9/31 - I will survive!

Day 9/31

This will be a quick one for 3 reasons.  First, I don't think anyone actually reads these, so I'm doing this more to motivate myself.  Second, I'm running late this morning.  And, third, I gained 1.1 pounds overnight, while still eating less than 500 calories.  So, I'm doing something wrong.  So, today, I'm going to talk about keeping up a positive attitude in the middle of no or less than stellar results.

SO, I'm making a pact to myself (and, if anyone reads this, to you), to say that I'm going to reduce the added salt that I put on my food (even though it's legal, it's not great), since I almost never put salt on things before ... I guess I've been using it to spice up the food blahs that come ... and I'm going to really pay attention to what I put on my body (lotion, soap, hair stuff).  We'll see what tomorrow brings.  But, here I am, in the middle of a morning of, "Really, scale?!" to say, I'm not giving up, and I'm not going to let my mood be altered.  I'm going to let God's love shine through me (because that's what He wants) regardless of what the scale says, what my over-achieving brain says or what society thinks about the way I look.

Take that, scale.
