I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

Yesterday I noticed how much my 3 month old responds to a little encouragement. He would roll from his tummy to his back as his brothers were cheering him on. Here's the video:

This made me think how valuable this blog and challenge has been for me, because I also respond well to a little encouragement. There were a few nights this week I know I wouldn't have gone through with my workout if it wasn't for the accountability I feel to all of you. I hope you can all feel me cheering for your victories as well.

This week I had an exciting realization...my mind has changed. I feel like my brain has been re-wired in regards to the way I look at food and what I choose to eat. This doesn't mean I eat 100% "clean," it just means (as Elise said) that I am AWARE. I've lost baby weight before, but this time it just feels different, it feels like a lifestyle adjustment...and I'm not planning on ever going back.
