Mixed Emotions

Even though I lost another pound this week, I am bummed!

Three of my fellow Ladies have not lost any weight yet! Time for sister-support!

What I think is working for me:

Blog your weight away: I really think that this blog is big part of what's working for me. By constantly writing about my diet changes and choices, I am reminded of my goal. It is always there in the back of my mind. Feel free to blog as much as you want. It's nice knowing someone is there reading your struggles and offering tips and encouragement!

Be aCOUNTable: I've already offered the credit up to my new habit of counting calories. When I know I'm going to face a high calorie meal, like date night, I practice going low calorie in other meals or the days before or after. Just give it a try for a couple of weeks. I was really surprised at how it worked.

Second Nature Hike: While this is a huge part of my life right now, I'm hoping that it will someday be second nature. I really think that holding myself accountable through this blog (and my Ladies!) is part of the path I need to take to make this a natural lifestyle for me.

My first week showed no weight-loss and I'm sure that within the next 46 weeks there will other weeks of no-loss. I want this to be enjoyable for all of us. Joining this group was the first step. Now, let's hold hands and help each other reach our goals.

Do you have some small goals that can help you along your path? Is it fitting into last year's smaller jeans? Is it getting to buy new clothes? It is running your first 5k? Blog about it! Tell us that small goal and describe it as you go for it. You've got cheerleaders right here (and you know I love to cheer!!!)

Weigh to go, Team!!!!
