Motivation Monday #5 - 2025 4 Pounds Down! Yay!!

 This is not rocket science - we all know what we need to do to lose weight. I'm a geek so I know it's math: burn more calories than you consume and you'll lose weight. Eat less, exercise more, drink more water, smaller portions, blah blah blah. Just because I know how to do something doesn't mean I'm putting it into practice on the daily. If you say, "hey girl wanna grab a coffee and a pastry?" I'm gonna say yes when I know I should be saying "why don't we meet at the Y and work out together instead?" 

I made a few slight changes this week, made some mindful choices, and 4 pounds came off. Now, instead of buying a cheesecake to celebrate my small victory, I'm going to work hard to do the same thing this week. 28 days to make a habit and I need to get into some better for my health habits.

How about you? Where are you at with your motivation? your mindset? your wellness?

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 for mindful choices (and cheesecake if I'm being honest)!
