Day #132 - Getting Back Into The Game

I got on the scale this morning to see that I didn't gain any weight.  I was a little surprised, I didn't eat real well this week and expected to see a couple extra pounds so I was happy with breaking even.

I'm sleeping better and my mood has improved.  My knee pain is greatly reduced and I've rested it as much as possible.  I think it's time to get back into the game.

The key ingredient is my mental focus.  If my head isn't in it, I won't succeed.  I'm going back to the basics; focus on getting through each day.  I have to keep reminding myself that food doesn't make me feel better, that food isn't the answer to my stress.

132 days ago I started a journey.  When I started I knew it would very hard and that I would be tested.  I didn't expect some of the things that have happened to me, but hey that's life right?  When I started I told myself that the most important thing, the one thing that mattered more than anything else, was that I did not give up.

And I haven't given up!  There were a couple times when I felt like it.  When I look back there were more than a few posts where you can almost see me starting to give up.  I still have another 228 days and I want to make each one of them count.  More to come as I get back at it...

Stay Strong!
