Today is hard

Today didn't start out great. I weighed in this morning and found I have gained 4 pounds. Hard to see after working so hard on my diet and exercise plan. I know in my head not to get discouraged, but my heart is broken! And my stomach is yelling at me to go back to the refrigerator and empty it!! Good thing I am not at home today.
So I  will pick myself up and go walking at lunch, and continue to do what needs to be done. I can and will do this! I will triumph over this!!
This morning after I got done weighing myself, I committed to try something new to encourage myself. From now on every morning I am going to give myself a little mirror pep talk. I look myself right in the eye and say:
"I need you to do four things for me today:
1- Give your diet and exercise plan 100%. Eat right and do what you know you need to do! You can do it, and you must. I can't stay this way. 
2- Give your husband and boys 100%. They are awesome and deserve your very best! And let them know you appreciate them by doing what needs to be done and by words of mouth. 
3- Give 100% at work.  I will do my best. I love my job, so stop complaining about petty things and do it! 
4- Give God 100%. Talk to Him, Listen to Him and read His Word. He deserves 100% from you cause He gave you His all!"

I hope I was listening! Anyway enjoy the following...
