Take Time For Yourself Tuesday

Our little cowboy is enjoying a mini vacation at his Nonna & Papa's.  He's played miniature golf, went swimming in the pool, went to the movies & a car show, and rode his bike til his little legs felt like jelly.  When I talked to him last night over the phone he told me he was going to stay at Nonna's for an additional 13 days (he's been gone since last Friday).  I told him we would probably be coming to get him before that & he said,

"Mom, I just need to take a little time for myself".

I have been making time for myself too this week!  I have missed our little cowboy very much but it seemed to me that I had alot of time on my hands!  That has been a great thing to find as we have added our new exercise classes this week and I have been able to get tons of minutes in as well as the classes.  I know all of the movement will register a visible difference on the scale too!  Last night after Zumba class as I was driving home I thought about how much extra time that added up too ~ it wasn't the time that added up it was what I did with that time.  I haven't even had the T.V. on.  I had time for me and the things I wanted to do and get done.  Those minutes have always been there I just needed a reminder of what to do in those minutes (and what not to do)!! 

My entire focus from our last weigh in to this week's weigh in has been on moving!  I know without measuring that inches have been lost this week already and we are only about 1/2 way through the weigh in week!  Plus my choices for eating have been very healthy, filling, and I have focused on smaller meals more frequently to keep my blood sugar and energy fueled all day long.

What changes have you made that have made a difference this week?  Email me or post a comment and you'll be entered in our weekly drawing from one of our fabulous sponsors!!

Have a blessed day ~ Stephanie
