Life is a highway….
Gotta love kids (well, sometimes and only when they are your own!) I had a nice afternoon bowling with my son yesterday (sans the 16 month old), and when we were leaving my son asked me if we were on the Highway yet. I said “Almost, but why do you ask?”. He responds, “So I can sing that song from the Cars movie.” So, we get to the highway and he belts it out “Life is a Highway……I want to ride it all night long….” LOL How cute! So of course I sing along with him and smile the rest of the ride home. We have so much we should be reminded of from our kids. Live life to it’s fullest!!! Sing and have fun, just because!
With that said, I’ve had another “clarifying moment” in my life. I’ve realized that I’ve got to get out of my own way!! I stand there, firmly planted in front of my highway and don’t let the real me come through. I’ve convinced myself that I’m doomed and going to fail. That was until my clarifying moment on Thursday morning. I told myself… get over yourself! You are your own worst enemy sometimes. Get a grip, get a life and move forward.
Since Thursday I’ve felt a tremendous burden lifted from my shoulders. I’m eating my Core meals, drinking my water and having fun doing it! My husband even started eating salad……..yes, you read that right… the man that thinks “broccoli messes up his system”…. ate 3 salads this weekend. His system is surely in for a shock, but a good shock!
I’ve decided that I can’t put my life on hold “until I lose the weight”. I’ve got to live now and conitinue living all throw my weight loss journey.
