There are a lot of definitions, but specifically today, I'm talking about Grace as "favor or good will; mercy; clemency; pardon"...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I read the Simple Mom site, and today's headline was "Grace...heap it on yourself". The article talks a lot about stress (I didn't think I was stressed, but when I took the quiz, I realized that a lot of things have happened in the last year that are stressful). All of it hit a chord this morning - I'm being a bit hard on myself because I had too much to drink last night - and I still lost weight. Down to 199.2. It doesn't seem right and I don't feel like I deserve it. So, this morning included some pretty negative self-talk up in that head of mine... I am also still pretty darn tired - remember my grumpy post? (the wine didn't help), and this morning, I ACHE! No clue why - haven't run in a while - and it is just odd... everything from the waist down just HURTS. My muscles & joints - everything. And it is rainy and icky... and a blah day. And then I saw the title of the article - how true! We need to be easy on ourselves... isn't it interesting that we hold ourselves to such high standards that we would never hold others too... So, just a thought that we really do need to heap Grace on ourselves! Happy Friday.

But you should be celebrating Onderland. You are right-you need to heap Grace on yourself!
Maybe your mood is a reaction to getting under 200 pounds. Bet you doubted you could. But you did. And you should take every bit of positive from that.
Woo Hoo! What a milestone.
Sarah,
I am still in awe of your before and after pictures.. You have done remarkably well and are successful. You should entrench yourself in Grace, becaue you have achieved what so many of us in band land hope for (you are in onderland).. I have been screwing around trying to reach this destination for 2 months and have come within a pound and shot back up. AND YOUR ARE STILL LOSING..
Give hugs to your self, pat your self on the back and remember that the best part of the those icky days is knowing that sunshine is just around the corner...
Sarah - so sorry that you're having an achy day. You're doing so well, and I think it's important to remember how far you've come on days like today. You an amazing woman who has done amazing things. I am so lucky to know you from afar!! xoxo
Its the weekend Sarah! Relax and enjoy! You look great and you'll feel better!
I think when people reach a goal that has been a long time coming there is that burst of happiness, but I then a bit of depression after that the goal is done. Kind of like Christmas.
