Mom, I can't believe your still awake......

One of my boys said to me last night, "Mom, I can't believe your still awake!"  It was 11pm.  I am usually in bed by 9.  And that is pushing it.  I feel so much better.  I have more energy.  I don't feel weighted down and tired and sad.  I feel good that I am eating good things.  I can only imagine how great it is going to be when I have lost this "extra person" that I am carrying around. 
I have been thinking a lot about why I have gotten to this point.  I have been on so many diets, spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars trying different weight loss programs.  I would lose 15-20 and then give up.  Then I would gain that back plus 10-20.  I don't feel like the person I see in the mirror.  I don't want to let another year go by and miss so much of life.  No more.

  I am at the end of month 3. I have lost 16.6 pounds.   I wanted to be a little farther along.  But I am not going to dwell on it.  This is a long journey and I am not quitting. Wait, I still have till Sunday.  I might just make it to the 20 pound mark.....We'll see.  No, never mind, its bloat up time, I will be happy with making my 5% goal.  That I WILL accomplish.

Goals for this next week.  Move more.  I have committed to WALK my first 5K.  It is in a little over a month.  I can walk 2 miles right now.  So, I have a little work to do .  Thank you to my friend with the same name, lol, for encouraging me to do this and for my sweet daughter and son-in-law for signing up too.  It is going to be fun.  We will have to take some photos.  Hopefully , they won't be of me passed out on the side of the road.......lol.
Let do this.....
