It is a miracle……

I am going to be able to blog today after almost a week of not being able too.

It is so annoying when I cannot blog. I have been able to do everything else this week, but blog! It is theraputic to me to blog. I always have a better weight loss when I have been blogging.

This week was not exception! I lost a total of .25 of a lb. While I am dissapointed I know that next weeks weigh in will probably be a good one as that is usually what happens.

Tomorrow I have a big family reunion and I am being realistic with myself. I know what usually happens, I go with all intentions of eating right and then WHAM, I mess up! I know I will probably not stick to plan, but if I don’t I am not going to beat myself up! I will just hop right back on track and continue my journey of weight loss and better health.

This week I recieved my 5 Richard Simmons excercise videos I purchased on ebay. I needed the resistance cord for the stretching videos and found a set at the thrift store for 99 cents (my son said he saw the same set at Wal-Mart for $20)! I purchased 8 more videos on ebay, a couple are Walk away the pounds (one being the beginer, that is what I need)! Now to motivate myself to actually use them every day! I don’t know what it is going to take to motivate myself! Anybody got any ideas?

    Okay, I got my other new videos today. I popped in Walk Away the Pounds Express 1 Easy 1 mile walk. Easy it wasn’t for me, but I did 1/2 mile and I am pleased with myself. If I keep at it, I will be doing the whole mile before you know it!

    little by little you will find before you know it you will be doing her 3 mile walk then her walk and jog. Trust me I love those tapes and the great thing about buying so many is you won’t get bored and your bosy will work hard for you. Have fun with them!!!

    Don’t be disappointed by a 1/4 pound loss, that’s an entire stick of butter gone forever. Keep up the good work!

    Any loss is a great thing! You have been doing such a super job! As for motivation, JUST DO IT. Start on a small walk and once you get moving you can continue. I hate to cut some job short, it’s just getting started that’s so hard for me. I have Nike check marks on my T.V. and mirror. Keep it going. Hugs, Marge

    Hey 1/4 of a pound is better than gaining or just maintaining. It would definitely be a loss in my book!!
