I feel awesome?
….yeah, I really do! Despite the fact that I just now finished an hour on the treadmill. Today was my first day in over two months that I’ve been back on track with my exercise plan. We finally put the treadmill together last night, so I really had no excuses. And, I almost talked myself out of it….you know how it is..”its been a long day….didnt get much sleep last night…..had a headache this morning and they always leave me feeling drained.” But, I made myself get on and go.
For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful, confident and happy about this journey and my goal of reaching lifetime health and thinness! I was actually feeling this way early this morning, but now I’m feeling even more hopeful, confident and happy.
Counting calories is going well. I’m starting off with a goal of 1700 calories a day. I quickly discovered that it doesnt take much to reach that number! Wow….my natural peanut butter is 110 calories per tablespoon, my German whole wheat bread has 100 calories a slice and my Smart Balance spread is 80 calories per tablespoon. No wonder I’ve had a hard time losing weight in the past! Hopefully, the scales will start showing consistent “happy” numbers.

That’s a great positive outlook! Did you find that somewhere in the middle of your exercise, you perked up and started feeling better than you did that morning? I always do! Good for you!

Sounds like you have worked the plan and the plan is now working for you…yep if ya wanna lose weight it will take determination,lots of prayer,exercise and motivation. Its great that hubby is doing it with you. I probably would have never started if my daughter had not been so persistent.
Keep up the good work…you’re doing great!!!!
