Motivation Monday #4 - sometimes it's just the zipper that does the trick!

 

I was so proud of this girl... I honestly as still really proud of her, but today let's just talk about weight. I'm pretty sure I gained it ALL back. I worked so hard to get my weight under 200 and I was headed for my goal of 140 and then I forgot about taking care of myself and I gained a little here and a little there, and now I spent the weekend with my snowpants unzipped because there was no way that zipper or those pants were made for my voluptuous body. That moment and that zipper was the thing I needed. That was my come to Jesus moment - no more snacks, no more cheating, no more glasses of wine, no more skipping the gym. I'm not buying bigger clothes - I'm getting back on track! 

Today's post was penned by Crystal J. Casavant

Crystal Casavant writes. Everything. If you follow her blog you have likely laid eyes on every thought she has ever had. Her debut novel, It Was Never About Me, Was It? is still a work in progress and shall be fully worthy sometime in 2025. She has written for WOW! Women on Writing, Bring on Lemons, and has been featured in several magazines and ezines relating to credit and collections as well as religious collections for confessional Lutherans. She runs a busy household full of intelligent, recalcitrant, and delightful humans who give her breath and keep her heart beating day after day. 

Crystal wears many hats (and not just the one in this photo) and fully believes in being in the moment and doing everything she can to improve the lives of those around her! The world may never know her name, but she prays that because of her, someone may smile a little brighter. She prides herself on doing nice things - yes, even for strangers! 

May your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and may you always remember the world is a better place with you in it and it's always a great time to prioritize self care because you can't pour from an empty cup!
