WISH'n for weightloss

[bthrsoon]

I've been feeling pretty good about a ten pound weightloss... but today I received two pictures from Easter in the mail from my sister-in-law. I always thought she liked me but they were so awful you can't imagine. While I don't enjoy having my picture taken, I wouldn't say I'm absolutely against it. I've had some really nice photos taken but these are sooo bad, you just wouldn't believe it. I ordered a yoga workout tape. I used to do yoga and really enjoyed it but I haven't for a few years now and thought it might be a nice way to start back into exercise. I thought when the pool opened in June I'd take the kids frequently (I love to swim) but the nasty photos have made me rethink that. The woman in those photos should not appear in public. Perhaps I'll put the photos on my refrigerator for incentive but at the moment they seem to be having the opposite effect on me. If this is how I really look I feel pretty hopeless!

Well, it's a new week so I have a new goal 10 pounds in 5 weeks (2 pounds per week). That'll end at my DS's end of year awards ceremony and I hope to look good! I have an appointment on Wednesday for a new haircut and possibly color or highlights. In the past, I've been pretty timid about changing my hair but I'm in the mood for a BIG change. Hopefully it's a change in the right direction. I'm trying to turn a new leaf and take care of myself better (if I don't who will). But in the past I've been rather cheap when it comes to self care. I hope that I can change that and teach my kids by good example. For this week, I'm trying the Special K challenge. I hope it gives my diet a kick-start.

I'm down 12 pounds! Yippe And I've finally added exercise to the mix this week. I absolutely love my new yoga DVD. I think it's something I can be committed to doing everyday The weight loss has averaged out to 1.5 pounds per week, not fast but at least moving in the right direction! I bought some diet Arizona green tea that I have really enjoyed this week. Creeping along!

Where and how do you sign up for the challenges? Someday I hope to have a little challenge banner underneath my name.

By the way, congrats on your losses so far....you are really off to a great start!! Keep it up!!

Last week did not go well. Hopefully, I can get back on track this week. I looked like I was up two pounds today! Haaaaaa! I'm trying to not freak out This will be another stressful week for me but after that I'm off for the summer! Hopefully that will bring more time to exercise, less stress and better eating habits. Maybe the healthy lifestyle fairy will visit tonight! One can always hope!

Hi, dont let it get you down, we all have to fall off the 'wagon' sometimes, just get straight back on it & put it down to experience
Keep up the good work!
