Fearful or Fearless Friday



Excitement is in the air this morning!  It's the eve of Meltdown and as I was walking this morning I thought about the mix of emotions that run through your mind when you start a new task.  It divides you right down middle.  Part of you is fearful but another part is fearless as you throw caution to the wind and move into a new phase of a creating a healthier lifestyle.

As I stepped onto the scale at the office this morning I took a deep breath and said goodbye to the number on the scale.  Our first Meltdown was amazing and I was blessed with many things on that journey ~ lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, decreasing my weight by 16.8 pounds (that .8 is very important), & losing 2 pant sizes.  This second Meltdown feels even more important to me as I look at my goals as not just being a number on the scale but I have fitness goals I want to accomplish this time around.

As you get prepared for the beginning of your Meltdown journey please know that it can feel like the scale has big gnarly teeth. 

It really doesn't:)  

As you take a deep breath and step onto the scale  tell yourself that you are saying goodbye to that number.  It is just the beginning. 
You have to have a starting point in order to be successful.  Knowing your numbers allows you to know where you are going on your Meltdown journey.

Congratulations to you for stepping out of your comfort zone and starting!
You have chosen not stay sidetracked and sitting down on the bleachers of life ~ a journey begins with the first step and your journey is this Meltdown.
Have a blessed day ~ Love, Stephanie
