It's Tues Jan 30th. The end of another month. That makes 6 mos for my daughter, Caitlin and myself now. Very cool.
Yesterday I was on the treadmill, working out, and I was listening to some motivational speaker. He quoted a man, Jim Roan who said "there are 2 kinds of pain, the pain of discipline and the pain of regret. The pain of discipline weighs ounces and the pain of regret weights pounds"...
I get it. I don't like the pain of regret! It showed me how little control I had to do what I wanted to do. It was so painful to regret putting all the weight back on, instead of managing my eating every single day and not allow it to take over. I regret, days I sat without a vision or goal or new plans to grow with. I can't imgaine being there again...they were so painful to my self esteem.
Today I don't regret, I don't forget either. I don't forget to have a plan, I don't forget to get a snack, grab some water, plan a new activity. I don't regret much either, I do alot of what I want to see accomplished!
Regret was and is very very painful. Self discipline is painful too. It requires me to really be on my toes. 6 months down to my first really big goal, to be here in one year. I am half way to that goal, and I don't regret a single day.
We are working our way into the next weight level by march 15th. I want to be in the 150's and my daughter wants to be in the 130's...We each have 5.5 lbs to loose to get there, and today I am up 2.5lbs and who knows why...it doesnt' matter we are going right towards our goals...March 27th we are planning a big exercise day, at Stone Mt. going up it and around it....
It's a stepping stone of achievement we are working right towards...I am excited!

I regret not eating healthier meals when I was a kid. I regret not eating a salad with dinner all those times. I regret that I didn't know just how unhealthy I was. I regret that when I DID know how badly I was treating my body, I did nothing about it. But now, following atkins faithfully, I have no more regrets!
