Still staying positive even after that!

I was totally in the focus zone a few weeks ago, on top of my game and ready to go! Then I sprained my ankle and I will admit I used it as an excuse! Then I realized what I was doing and tried everything I could to make it better only to find out my healing techniques were making it worse:( Now for the past couple of days I have made myself get out and try walking on it, it started feeling even better! So the night before our weigh in I did some circuit training exercises and was very positive! Then the weigh in:( WHAT!!!!! I gained 3 pounds!! Now I can take this one of two ways! One, I can go back into the :"I feel sorry for my self" stage or I can just move on! I decided to just move on! This 12 week challenge for me is not about winning the $1000 dollars. I have been struggling with my weight for a while now and I have had a hard time getting myself back on track! So the 1 thing I wanted to do during this competition is to get myself back on track (which I believe I did)! Some people might be like "Wow ,she only lost 10 pounds!" or "I would have lost more weight then that!" But have you? Well I can honestly say that without this challenge I would not have lost 10 pounds, but I did! In life we are all going to have ups and downs and we will have the choice to take that easy road or the tough road! I could have taken the easy road this entire time but I didn't (with the exception of my ankle at first)! I am proud of myself for what I have accomplished and I know going forward I now have the confidence to continue with this even after this challenge is done! So thank you to Kiss FM for giving me this opportunity! It has been fun and I have learned a lot!
