I’ve had more hiccups and victories than I’d want to count. I lose, I gain, I lose, I gain, I gain, I gain. It’s a slippery slope and can damage your self-esteem Big Time. (Of this I know!)

Today, I’m asking you (and myself) to let go of all the hiccups in your past and focus on the little victories. Why kick yourself because you gained a pound? If you’re female, you’re held at the whim of your monthlies anyway so bouncing around between 1-2 pounds isn’t a big deal. So if you gained a little weight this week ask yourself, did you set yourself up to succeed? If you did everything you can, made good food choices, added some intential exercise (taking the stairs or walking through the entire store rather than heading to what you need and getting out) that’s a victory.

My victory this week is a fun one. On monday I mentioned how I hate numbers and calorie counting etc so instead I have a tendency to judge my success by how my clothing feels. Last year I’d bought a bathing suit that was several sizes smaller than what I was wearing at that time. It always fit meaning I could pull it on but there was no way I was going to let anyone see me in it! <g>

Well today, it fits. WOOOTTTTT!

This is a big-assed victory for me. Well, a slightly smaller-assed victory I guess. So what did the scale tell me this morning? Sixty-nine pounds and counting…BOO-yah.

I’m headed off to the pool to show off my svelte athletic awesomeness! <g> Who else has a victory this week?
