We all have reasons for why we want to lose weight. For some it may be to look better. It may be for health reasons. For others it can be just to improve the quality of life. Maybe there is something someone has always wanted to do, but their weight is holding them back. There are those out there that are losing simply to stay alive. Whatever the reason, for most of us there was something that caused the change. Usually it's an event, a conversation, a health issue, a mandate from a doctor, or even a family member's request. For me, my reasons are a culmination of all of those and more. It seems as though I am reminded each day of a different reason I am on this journey. Tonight I was rocking my precious one year old to sleep, and all I could think about is wanting to be here to rock his kids to sleep. He is such an amazing child. His grin and the sparkle in his eyes are contagious and can brighten any room. My hope is that I can be here for him to protect that joy and raise him to share it with others. He is on the forefront of my mind as I'm writing this, so tonight it is for him that I am losing my butter half.
My calorie intake today has been really great. I didn't drink the amount of water I need to be drinking, so I'll have to be more disciplined in that tomorrow. I had a great workout this morning, and was very excited that Bekah got up and did a short workout along side me!
