Suck it up...

Motivation for Today: This picture

Favorite Thing I've Eaten Today: Spicy Couscous and chicken breast

For as long as I can remember, I have HATED taking pictures, and in my mind it always goes a little something like this: 

"On three...two....***suck in the gut and grit your teeth, even though you're not going to be satisfied with the way the camera adds 10 lbs (or maybe I just wasn't satisfied PERIOD)...one!"

I can't wait for the day to come when it's something more like this: 

"On three...two...'hmmm hope there's nothing in my teeth', oh well...one."  

It's worth it, for pictures, for me, today, and for all the tomorrows to come.

I will admit, this week has been...difficult at times. I don't normally pin myself for 'Debbie Downer', but I will say that my ankle has been KILLING me from past injuries, I 'lost my cookies' in the middle of Body Pump (& kept going after that...not sure how), am fighting sinus issues/ sore through/ stopped up head, have had several asthma flare ups, and Thursday had my first day where I just kept telling myself I couldn't do it.

So after that depressingly dark run-on sentence, I'm here to say that NOTHING is stopping this girl. I refuse to get sick, use my ankle and asthma as a crutch, and tell myself I can't any longer!!

  Here's to another day, and another day closer to not sucking in my gut.
