Going In The Right Direction

Thought you'd lost me forever? Nah, I just didn't have much progress on this front to report. But I'm back with some news that makes me really happy. I'm down 6 pounds! Woo hoo!

And I think I've got Mr. M to thank. For the last month or so, he's been making a real effort to get me to the gym. And not because he wishes I'd lose weight. The great thing is that he is honestly happy with me whatever I am. And I'm thankful. But I need to be happy with what I am and it makes him happy when I am happy. Is that confusing? Lots of happy, happy.

Anyway, I make it to the gym 2-3 times a week now and work on the treadmill for about an hour. I usually walk/jog about 4.25 miles and burn about 600 calories.

My weight? Well, it was 1_5 and now it's 1_9.

Really, you thought I was going to put the whole number on there? This isn't TV, people. So you don't get the whole number.

But I'm so happy to see the scale going in the right direction. HOORAY!

Great work! It's fun to reach a new decade (when it's a loss, not a gain)

I am very proud of you! I took your lead and bought a pedometer. I am programing it this morning and will start charting my steps and progress. I have been working to lose weight, too. I hope to make the Dr. say, "Wow" when I go in on the 13th. I will wear light clothing....
VERY proud of you!!! xx c
