Looking Glass

When you are looking in the mirror, you are looking at the problem.  But, remember, you are also looking at the solution. ~ Anonymous

I found this quote on Facebook, and it 'spoke' to me.  I am my own worst enemy..  I tend to talk a big talk, but I don't actually follow through very often.  I doubt myself constantly.  And I'm so hard on myself when things don't work out like I want.  I am the cause of my problems, and I am the solution.  

I am ready to make a change, to be the solution.  I've signed up for an early-morning R.I.P.P.E.D. class at a local fitness studio.  I'm scared to be honest.  I'm not a morning person (as I'm sure I've mentioned..), and this particular class starts at 5am three days a week!!  *fingers crossed*  Maybe I'll become a morning person?..  In any case, I'll be starting my day in a great, albeit torturous, way.  The Easter candy we came home with (which was more candy than we had at Halloween, by the way) has mostly been taken to work by my husband and myself to "share" with our coworkers (I couldn't take ALL the kids' candy from them!).  We will continue our walks as often as we're able.  Summer break is almost upon us, so we should be able to get out a lot.  I will take a "time out" more often so that I don't completely lose my temper, I will breathe.  I will say I'm sorry when I mess up, because I know I will.  I'm thinking that I'll post messages around my house where needed - "Don't eat that. You don't really need it." in the kitchen.. All Over the kitchen.  "Breathe.  Just breathe." and "It's not worth the fight." throughout the house.  "You are Worth It." on my mirror.

I want to be my biggest supporter.  I want to be proud of my accomplishments.. and of the lessons learned from my shortcomings.  I want to pick myself up, dust myself off and continue along this road of life.
