Okay, I've updated my ticker to reflect my weight gain.
I needed to so it would be an accurate indicator of this process, and it's not pretty! I was this weight last JUNE! I'm frustrated that I've been spinning my wheels. I got down as low as 208, and have been bouncing around between that and 220 ever since. I've lost LESS than 40 pounds in almost a year! UGHHHH!
Well, I can get mad, or I can get even!
I'm going to DO THIS THING NOW! Once and for all.
I've had a good week, but not as good as I could have been. I have noticed little things...like the dry cereal, the almond milk, and the cornbread with my chili. I have to go back to absolute basics! NO FLOUR PRODUCTS! This is the hard one for me right now, but taking a good long look at my weight loss progress, or lack thereof, makes me think to myself; "Okay, was it worth it?" THe answer is a BIG FAT "NO!"
I am going to be a success story this year @#!* IT!
Well, I am down 2# this week, so it's not a total bust, but the way I've been working out, I was hoping for more. I'll take the 2, though! It's better than nothing. And this next week will be even better!
I'm weighing in on Tuesdays b/c that's when I can get to the gym first thing in the morning.

Quotable Quote of the Day:Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself. ~W. C. Doane
Gratitude: Today, I am grateful for a clear view of reality. I am unwilling to live in the la-la land of numbness, only wishing for change. Rather, I am looking at the truth with eyes wide open in an attempt to face it and make a better life, one choice at a time. I am grateful, again, that mercy is NEW EVERY MORNING!
Today will not be a struggle, instead today will be another triumphant victory on my road to win this fight once and for all.
