Staying Motivated
It's almost 2 months after Christmas and the gyms are starting to empty out as people lose their "New Year" motivation to get fit. And I mist confess that I'm feeling the pull to quit trying to lose weight myself. My husband hasn't been too supportive... I've lost only a little weight...we all have excuses and I have mine. But I am choosing to push through and continue. I went for a walk this morning even though it was misting outside. I found it very invigorating and am still feeling the energy from it a couple of hours later. I'm listening to some Tony Robbins tapes. I love him. He's very motivating. He talks about health, relationships, success and all kinds of great things that affect our mind sets. So I encourage you now to reaffirm your commitment to yourself and to your goals and lets continue to push forward together.

Monday Weigh in and what I ate 2.4.08-2.17.08
Almost forgot to weigh in this morning.
Lost 8 ounces which is half a pound. Weighed in at 157.7
Ronnie isn't here for me to drag onto the scale. He didn't want to admit last week that he had gained a pound. I don't seem him embracing this with full enthusiasm yet, although he did exercise twice last week that I know of.
Here's what I've been eating which will also help explain why my weight loss is so slow. I've been on quite a chocolate binge lately but am still grateful that I'm losing some weight even if slowly.
