Small Accomplishment

Ok, so I have experienced some major set backs recently. I can even tell you where they have come from. The only thing I can think of, is I set a goal for myself to be at my goal weight by the end of March. Well guess what...I am not there. Is it because I have not been pushing myself hard enough? Maybe. Is it because I have been not watching portions and eating things I shouldn't be? Possibly. Lets face it I am human and I give in to tempations!

However, yesterday was a great reminder of how I used to feel when I ate junk. Maybe that was what I needed to get my head back where it should be. My alarm went off at 5:30 this morning. Remember I said I was going to get up at 5:30 and walk every morning? Well, here in Chicago it is gloomy and rained most of the night. My alarm went off and there was no sun shining in my window. I turned it off and thought that I would go back to sleep for another 30 minutes. Well...as I laid there I heard the birds chirping and then a little voice inside me said "Go Dawn, you can do it". I then thought if the birds were singing it couldn't be raining that hard. I put on my shoes and a sweat shirt. Called to the Shogun and we hit the pavement. There was a misty rain and we came back a little damp but I am left feeling a sense of accomplishment. It is the little things that add up and the same goes for BLT's (bites, licks and taste). ;-)
