You know what's funny?  Even though I gained nearly a pound this week, I am not as upset as I would have been.

I think I have almost reached a point of acceptance with my body.  Not contentment -- but acceptance.  I sneak glances of myself in the mirror or in glass fronts at stores and I am pretty happy with the way that I look.  I know that I may not ever have a body like Sofia Vergara unless I paid for it, and you know what?  I'm fine with that.  I've got this body and for all the things that have ailed it -- broken bones, scoliosis, etc -- it has still carried me through for 27 years.

I may not have treated this body the way it deserved, but I'm working on it now.  I try to eat in moderation, try to be healthy, without going overboard.  I have cheat days and I have nights where I'm eating cookies past bedtime, but I don't overindulge.  I've pushed my body to its limits and have watched it lose unhealthy, unwanted, unneeded pounds.  I have never been as proud of my body as I am now.

I will continue to work-out, to treat my body well, because it's still got a long life ahead.

I've decided to change the name of my Sunday Weigh-Ins to Sunday Check-In.  I'm still hoping to get my weight between 125-130, but at 131, I'm pretty happy, too.  So, instead of Weigh-In, it will be a Check-In.

Have a great week, everyone!  I'm off to (maybe) do some cleaning and then get my exercise back on track!
