I am a little behind on my updates for the Your Shape Challenge I am part of. Last week I lost 2 more pounds, but this week I gained them back   I am not discouraged though. It has been 9 weeks now, and I am starting week 10 today, and I have lost 13 pounds total! Not too shabby, I don’t think

What has been even bigger to me, has been my endurance and energy levels.  Until I got sick over this past week end I was going to the gym, being more active with my kids, and doing house work and not being as tired as usual. This is huge for me because until this challenge I was VERY sedimentary and took a lot of naps all day long.  I am feeling better and happier too.

One of the Challenges a couple weeks ago was a “Different type of exercise” for all of us challengers. I was so intrigued by it, and loved to read everyone’s answers, that I would love to share it here with you all as well. As well as share my answers with you.

This is an easy question but some found it harder to answer then others. Mainly because it seems that inside of being a woman and a mother we often put ourselves last on the list, and we don’t think of ourselves on our “high horse”.  We can tell others what they are good at, and we can tell our children what their talents are, what we love about them, and how they can achieve anything when they just try. But all too many times, we do not take this advice ourselves.

Here is the Question, followed by my answers :

LIST 10 THINGS THAT YOU LOVE ABOUT YOURSELF!!

1. I am a hard worker when I set my mind to be.
2. I am a wonderful mother.
3. I am a wonderful and Faithful wife.
4. I am a good cook.
5. I am a wonderful and everlasting friend.
6. I love that I am a pretty good writer.
7. I love that I have the ability to help others sometimes.
8. I have a wonderful memory.
9. I love that I can float when I go swimming, lol (cause my husband just sinks)
10. I love that I can tend to be funny at times and make people smile.

This exercise was pretty simple for me to accomplish because I think about this often just to help me cope with my depression.

When I get down in the dumps, I do this often to try and help bring me back up. Sometimes it does help change my state of mind.

So, I would LOVE to hear from you all about your Top 10 list. Don’t worry this isn’t any quiz, and no right or wrong answers. I would just love for you to think about this and write it out in my comments section so we can all know what your Top 10 things that you love about yourself are

Thanks!
