2. My friend just lost seven pounds after a three month plateau. Yes, she did maintain her healthy lifestyle through the three months of frustration and now ... pay day.
3. Seeing a friend at church wearing a darling pencil skirt. I love pencil skirts. I own a pencil skirt, but I haven't worn it since being pregnant with child #2. Oh, and the wearer of the great skirt has four kids. It makes me want to spit and eat celery all at once.
I am trying like crazy to get my healthy/strong mindset back. Can you tell? Thanksgiving and wedding receptions and holiday baking have blindsided me a bit ... okay, a lot. Do any of you have some motivators? I could sure use some.

Tracking on Livestrong.com (I always thought I was eating healthy, but tracking my caloric intake was a big eye opener)(oh, and I'm sure there are lots of tracking sites out there, this is just the one we have used, and it's free and allows you to set your goal: lose a pound a week, two, maintain your current weight . . . depends on what you're going for), keeping track of activity on dailymile.com, and eating REAL food, the kind with only a few ingredients, most of the time coming out of my kitchen . . . and moving, making time to move every day, however that works for me at the time . . .
