Hanging in through tough days. Working through old emotions with new tools. Pushing to the good ways even when the mind tries to tell me to lay down and give up.

Here I am back at my goal weight. Cheers~
I should be proud and delighted.
I should be.
Instead, I spent the night with a very important loved one telling me my obsession with fitness was unhealthy. I spent the night fending off accusations of being manic and judgmental about wellness despite my fitness being a goal because I want a long life with said loved one and my son. Despite assurances that I have reached my goal weight and will adjust to a maintenance routine, I was lambasted as neglecting more important things and being self-absorbed.
It is a universal truth widely known that when someone makes positive changes in her life, those around her must adjust. Yes, this can make them uncomfortable or require self-reflection they didn't ask for. Yet, I'm not imposing my perspectives, choices, or positive habits on anyone. I indulge in normal activities, foods, and choices because that's what life is about, and I believe in balance. I've done the therapy. I know the warning signs to watch out for in unhealthy choices.
This is not that.
This moment is full of the sadness and sense of futility that once paralyzed me. It wears me down to keep going through various life challenges over which I have no control. We live in hard times, and others have it so much harder than me.So, Much. Harder. Digging for the strength to keep moving forward in wellness. Summoning my mother's love and wisdom to propel me on because he right can carry me. My light can carry me if I stand tall.
Does anyone else feel like the energy it takes to stand tall is more than one has left inside> Despite all of the love one has for family, friends, and the world? When she's doing everything right and still getting teeth kicked in metaphorically? I can take it, but jeez. Im kind of exhausted.
Ramble. Whine. Ramble some more. Whine some more.
You all inspire me and remind me of what it's about. I'll stay focused on that. I'll be my best me. Would like a pass from having to be a gladiator just for a day. Anyone seen one fo those passes laying around? If so, please tell me where to find one.
Cheers to goal weight. Cheers to wellness. Don't give up the good fight out there.

Back on the trend toward my goal weight. Again, I was not worried. I've been eating birthday cake after my husband's birthday because life is about celebrating, moderation, and not being too hard on oneself.
Two things I did for my diet to adjust some concerns was to up the water I drink. It's so frustrating how quickly that drops off the radar. I also added non-soluble fiber and certain proteins that help add some fat that promotes healthy digestion. I was eating and exercising with tremendous discipline, but the secret sauce wasn't quite properly calibrated. Hopefully these adjustments will help.
Today I will have another small piece of my husband's cake because it is delicious, and I will exercise and expect a slower decline in fat loss. There is no doubt that the muscle is returning to my body.
Hurray!!!!!!
