This is my third month as a blogger in the Shaklee 180 program. I realize that I have failed to be the inspirational role model that I had hoped to be so far. However, I am pleased to say that I am at least holding steady. That is something the Shaklee program has taught me. How to maintain my current weight. So while, I have only lost two pounds in the last month to take me back to what I was at the end of the first month, I have held steady through Brandcation, birthdays and a host of other challenges I have faced.

Everyone is different. As a blogger, I tend to compare myself to others much more often than I would were I in another profession. We are constantly on social media, seeing what other bloggers are doing, what they are achieving, how much better they are than us. This month though, Shaklee challenged us to consider what we love about ourselves and realize that it is okay to be happy with who and where we are.

I know that weight has always been a struggle for me, so to be able to hold steady through the stress of this past month has been great. My weight hasn't gone up and I have not fallen into the pitfall of stress eating as I plan for this gigantic summer trip. Planning a trip with four boys for 53 days was so much more than I thought it would be, and quite frankly, I have been wearing myself out making sure everything is good to go. I am in a good place though, knowing that for the next few months I will be exercising by hiking miles and miles per day, setting up camp, tearing it down and avoiding temptations by only having the food I purchase available to me at the campground. No more fast food calling my name.

Ultimately, my goal through the Shaklee 180 program is to become happy with who I am, and I finally feel like I am on the right road to doing that.
