Improvement

My week has been very busy, but that's good. :) The eating has been okay, but the water is horrible. Hmm.... I haven't been getting it in at school like I thought I would. Teaching PE I'm not at a desk where my water is sitting in front of me most of the day. I'm going to have to make myself remember to drink it. I have been getting my exercise in and that is good.

I want to share a great quote I came across last week on Run the Planet under their beginners section. Since my weight loss journey is a much slower one than some I took great encouragement in this thought.

"Improvement is defined as being closer to where you want to be than you are right now."

I am closer to where I want to be than I was a year ago and even a few months ago, so I guess I've shown some improvement. I will continue to strive to see more improvement in my health and fitness as the days and weeks go on.

Have a great day everyone!

    I learned something new: you teach P.E.! I admire teachers, and that seems like a challenging subject ...all those kids hyper and jumping around. What age is your class? You must be a very patient person.

    I like the quote. My quote for most things nowadays is, "It's better than before." I can be a perfectionist and have had to let go of that for all areas of my life because it would freeze me...I wouldn't even try if I didn't think I could do it perfectly. That includes fitness.

    And...the slower it comes off, the longer it stays off.

    love the quote, puts things into perspective doesn't it.

    i struggle with water too, but find if I force myself to have some right when i get up before I'm "allowed" to have my first cup of coffee, it keeps me going for the day and before I know it i'm done!

    I didn't know that you taught gym too! I can picture you doing that.

    That is a great quote, and one that holds so much truth. I hope you are doing well Leah.
