Mirror, Mirror - What is it that you see?

Hey NeverEver's!

I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas, filled with Family & Friends! I will be posting some pictures of my Family's Christmas tomorrow, but I am currently trying to take care of a sick Hubby! I am just hoping that I don't catch it!


But I had to write about today's #elf4health challenge, which was, 'Look at Yourself in the Mirror and find 3 things you truly love about yourself'.

Now this one was hard. Personally, I think its hard for anyone trying to lose weight to look in the mirror and find something. It is so easy to focus on the negative. The things that I don't like about myself. To see the positive, the beautiful, the wonderful.

Really wanted to share!
So that is what I focused on. I wanted to find something on my body that I found 'Positive', 'Beautiful', 'Wonderful' and here is what I discovered -

Positive - My arms have gotten smaller, my clothes have gotten loser, and it means I am going in the right direction!

Beautiful - I am finding it easier to look in the mirror and like what I see, since I have been working at getting healthier. So what I am finding Beautiful lately is my butt! Yup, I am seeing some serious lift and it is making me really happy!

Wonderful - My health has gotten so much better since I have been taking care of my body. I have to say that it is Wonderful that I am not sick as often!

This is what I am seeing while I am looking in the mirror. This is quite the change from my bad days, or even a few months ago when I knew I wasn't working at a better & healthier life.

Okay, I do have to go and get the Hubby some medicine. Really got to get him better so I don't get it!

Oh and on a side note --


I did it! I made it over 2,012 reps BEFORE 2013! Yup I am currently at 2,173 and I still have 5 more days!

Really had to share, so happy & proud!
