A Small Milestone

It only took four months but I finally lost my first five pounds. It's been such a slow process. I've had to exercise more than usual but it's been worth it. I've also cut back on the sugar and it's getting easier to not give in. I feel like I have better control of my eating habits. I'm finally getting the hang of it. I'm hoping it's not going to take another four months for the next five pounds to come off.

In the meantime I'll keep going to my meetings and keep working hard. Today was a good day and all that exercise really paid off! I was so proud of myself that I rewarded myself with a new pair of cute shoes!!

Shoes are the best reward! I should think they we'll be seeing a lot of new shoes on your blog!!! You go girl!

If it makes you feel any better... I've gained those 5 pounds you've lost and then some, but for a good cause!!

Yay!! Que bien! Very proud of you. 5lbs is good when you're small like you are. And remember, you gained the weight slowly. I lost a couple of the 5 or more I've gained through the winter exercise lay off, when I fasted & "cleansed" for my colonoscopy. Unfortunately I've gained them all back :(
You inspire me to hit the levy again. xoxo

Yeah, I keep thinking one of these days I'm going to start doing sit ups and push ups every night if it's the last thing I do before bed, but...I've yet to begin. Until now! You are an inspiration :)
