Love is powerful.

Alright, not gonna lie, I don't really have much to report here. My diet is going OK. We did eat out more often then normal this week, so I'm afraid that as of Friday morning, I'm going strong at 207.8lbs. As of this morning though, I was at 206.4lbs! YAY! However, I'm going by Friday's morning weight, so officially I did not lose anything. BUT I did not gain! And I'm proud of that!

 There is something I want to talk about though, but it's not about health. Well, not physical health, more emotional health I suppose. Earlier this evening, a friend posted this on Facebook:

Posts like these upset me, probably more than they should. I hate these kinds of posts. If there is ever something to not regret, it's giving love. You can be upset about how the relationship turned out, time you can't make up, but NEVER regret giving somebody love.

 Giving love is the best gift you can give and you never know what kind of an impact it can have. It can hurt like hell, but it is never something you should regret. Everyone deserves love.

 I know that giving love is like giving a part of your soul, you're trusting someone with this piece of you. Here's the thing though, sometimes people have to fumble and even break this gift of yours before they can realize how precious it is. It hurts, bad, but it's never something to regret. You can love someone who is horrible for you, someone abusive even, someone you HAVE to separate yourself from, someone you can regret having in your life, but NEVER regret the love you gave them or still have for them! It helped shape you and hopefully touched them enough to show them what they did wrong. Even if it takes a long time from now for them to realize this.

 Love is the greatest thing you can give.

 I am a firm and avid believer in love.

 Like everyone, I have had my heartbroken by those I thought I was able to trust with everything, but I don't regret having them in my life. 

I remember the good moments. I remember what it felt like to love them and be loved by them in return (and I'm not just talking romantically). It felt wonderful. The wonderful feeling I get from it is greater than the horrible feeling I get when I'm heartbroken. 

 If this person you love is toxic, then cut them out. It's OK to cut out someone who is not good for you, but don't feel like you need to stop loving them. It's completely natural and OK to continue to love someone.

 You never just stop loving a person. You can hate someone and still love them.

 There is nothing wrong with that. Love is what keeps us human. It's what helps us connect.

 Love is powerful.

Feeling Good... Soon

So, the past few months I have not been in the best place, mentally or emotionally. Back in April, bout a week before my 30th birthday, I was laid off from a job I loved. You can imagine what that did for my self esteem. Especially since I applied to other positions with the company and didn't get hired back on. That was like a punch in the gut. Especially when of the 7 stores I applied to, only 2 of them called me back to even tell me no. So, when I turned 30, I was unemployed. I was looking for entry level positions to start a new career with a new company. Places I thought I'd be perfect for, that were similar to my previous job and company, told me that I did not have the experience they were looking for or just never called back after the interview to tell me one way or another. My self esteem was shit. I felt like a failure and completely worthless. But of course I had to keep on a brave face for family and friends who tried to cheer me up. Currently, I am train...

I'm Late!!!

OK, I know I'm two weeks late for this post, but you all know how life happens! So, a few years ago, my mom and I had given ourselves a goal; we were gonna be able to run a 5K by St. Patty's Day. When St. Patty's day came, I ran/jogged the whole thing! Now, I don't remember my time and I know it was more than 30 minutes, but the fact was, I did not stop! My mom managed to run maybe half of it, but for a woman in her 50's who hasn't been active like that in a long time, that was amazing! That gave us so much confidence! So, that summer, my mom and I managed to do one 5K a month! It was awesome! Each time, I got better and better and my mom was able to run more and more.  There was a race that we did back that then where the course made us run on a sidewalk that went under a bridge. We ran and followed the sidewalk until it turned a sharp almost 180 degree and made us go back to the bridge and this time run across it. Imagine my surprise when I cros...
