When asked this question I, like many of you, probably have 2 responses. The first is usually "Fine, and yours?". The second requires a more honest reflection of who we are and how we measure success. If you measure success just by weight loss you are missing a HUGE opportunity to toot your own horn. Many of us are successful in a plethora of areas.
Personally, I sucked at weight loss this week. For some reason I decided wine didn't count. Lesson learned. However, this has not dimmed the fifty other areas of my life where I have been successful this week. My job is great, my daughter doesn't hate me yet, I managed to cook a meal without burning the house down. Yeah-things are good.
If I took the very narrow approach of measuring success by weight loss alone I'd be screwed. Don't get me wrong- it is an amazing accomplishment to work hard and to see those results manifested on the scale. That is amazing and congratulations to everyone who made it happen this week. I tip my blogger's cap to you and am very proud of your success! Keep it up!
We are, however, more than the sum of our parts. It's time we gave those aspects of who we are credit.
So, the question I pose to you is this: How was your week?
Love always,
Reyna
