Just keep swimming...

The last few days I have been working on just trying to get my ass to the gym. This winter is killing me. I am so over the snow, the cold, and the gym. I want to be outside! I want to run through the park, and get back on the mountain trails. Thinking about weight loss right now is exhausting. I am just so busy with school, kids, household crap, husband etc. I tried taking a step back to really assess my eating, and I am trying now to listen more to my body. Eat the foods I know I should be eating, and when my body says "you are full" stopping. I feel like I am at an impasse, I can't give up because I don't want to gain weight, so I have to keep trudging forward even when I don't feel like it, even when I don't feel like it is working. Even if I am not seeing results on the scale I know I am doing my best and I feel stronger and I feel good. This little quote really hits hope right now.
