It's getting off our butt and moving when we don't want to. It's taking time to wash those fruits and veggies instead of just zipping by the drive through and getting those "value" meals. And it is really hard to admit that our failure is solely on our own shoulders. We'd rather have someone or something else to blame. And on another subject, such as your post with the photos of your family, they are all just beautiful! You are definitely blessed with a quiver full of lovely arrows. :-) .-= MamaBearJune´s last blog ..<a href="http://mamabearshealth.blogspot.com/2009/09/new-week.html" rel="nofollow">A new week</a> =-.

I have let my fat be an excuse for quite a bit in my life. No more excuses for me. Patience has always been a stumbling block for me, but I am really working on that and making my health be the goal as opposed to the number on the scale is helpful to me.
