It Is Working!!!

I just read Mama Chick's comments about losing 7 pounds. Way to go!!! (You even took a couple weeks off with family sickness and travel.)

Yesterday morning I had my kids set up the Wii so I could do a body test. I was curious because someone asked me if I had lost weight. I replied, "um, my clothes say I haven't, but my husband thinks I have. So maybe. I don't really weigh myself."

I had planned on waiting until the end of the month to weigh myself and see if my new goal made a difference, but the curiosity was too much. I did a body test knowing that it could really ruin my day if it told me that I weighed more or even the same as when I started. Last time I weighed myself there wasn't a real difference then I got sick and lost weight, fully knowing that it wasn't true weight loss, but dehydration.

Here goes... the Wii has informed me that I have lost over 9lbs since the beginning of the year. That is some pretty good news! Sure I would love it to tell me that I have lost 20 or 30lbs, but 9 is good. I haven't done anything super radical which is the nice part. I'm just having a healthier lifestyle by moving my body! I'm not counting calories or turning down food(except after 8:30pm). In fact, I ate two snicker Easter eggs this morning--so you can see I'm not trying very hard in the food department.

My hope for me and for you reading this is that we become the tortoise and keep plodding along. Sure there are Hares out there who are super fast. But we all know how that story ends.

Keep focused on tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that. Don't look back.

How exciting will it be next January knowing that we just stayed on the track.
