5 up, 5 down!

Two weeks ago I went in to weigh and was (semi) shocked to learn I gained FIVE pounds! In one week! I didn't even think that was possible. Thanks to my good friends at Starbucks I learned it really is. I must have had a java chip frappaciono every single day, sometimes twice! It was a very yummy 5 lbs I will admit, but it had to go. The next week I lost 3 lbs. and 2 last week. So I'm back to where I was three weeks ago, which would typically send my right into a forget-this-tailspin, but I chose to stick it out and see what happened and it paid off!
Imagine if I hadn't given up on things all along the path that were too frustrating or hard for me to do! I probably would be an amazing gymnast (all of about a month), guitarist (can't even remember, but I do remember jumping on my bed and accidentally smashing the guitar that was tucked away underneath!), novelist (middle school), garbage man (child hood dream)! I should vow right now to never give up on anything again. I should. Should I? I'll go sit on the couch and think about that a while longer.
