Weigh-In Day

Hello Readers,

The lovely scale tells me that I have lost 1.6 lbs this week, for a total of 14 lbs! I was hoping to hit 15 lbs lost as of today, but I am VERY HAPPY with this. My sweet neighbor invited me for Father's Day lunch. So I ate a little of everything, ate no seconds, and ate no sweets. She knows I am trying to lose weight and get healthy, but she also knows I love to EAT, especially what she cooks! So at the next meal I got back on my plan, and all is well. Oh, and I did drink extra water that day because I knew she uses more salt in her cooking than I do.

I am hesitant to make any changes in my food or exercise, since things are going well. But I can do better. Mainly, I want to keep focused on my eating plan and keep moving my body. I want to keep reading nutrition and health information - I have so much more to learn. And I want to continue to support others in my life, and in Blogville, who are trying to improve their health, break a bad habit, or learn a new one.

I am going to learn how to link to other websites or blogs, and give you a pic of my food, or my walking route, or something pretty in my summer garden. Jazz it up a bit!

And above all, I am going to remind myself that this is not a diet, it is a way of life.


Thank you for reading.
