Slowly but surely....

Today is Thursday...Weight Watcher day. Gary always nearly kills me with my workouts on Thursday's....last chance workout! I did manage to lose 1.2 pounds this week. I was expecting to lose more, so I am a little disappointed. I weigh myself every day. I know I am not supposed to...but I do. Earlier this week I was down 3 pounds. I'm not really sure what happened between Monday and today. Although I do typically weigh myself first thing in the morning before I eat or drink any thing...and with no clothes on. Terrible mental picture...I know! I can tell that my clothes are getting even more loose on me, so I am not going to let me down that I only went down 1.2. I am going to keep working at it and hopefully see more progress on the scale next week.

I got our power bill a couple of days ago. I almost had a heart attack when I opened it. It was $408!!! Last month it was $325 and I didn't think that was too bad since we did have some cold weather. But $408!!!! That is just not fair. David tells me that people were talking about the power going up, but I had not heard that so I was in definite shock....I still am! Oh well, I just hope it is not 5 or 6 hundred next month. I may have to sell a kidney or cut down on my shopping ;0 Just kidding....I have already tried to cut back on the shopping. I have also tried to be conscious of what I get from the grocery store. I have a habit of letting things go bad before I eat them. I am getting a little better at that.

I will leave you with a couple picture that was the biggest reason for me starting weight watchers when I did. I know...that's a big girl ;) Thankfully not that big anymore. I'm definitely not skinny, but I am sure not as big as I once was.









This last picture is of me and Jean at our 2008 Christmas party at Cateechee. I was down 35 pounds here and Jean was down 50 pounds!




To my friend Jean:

We haven't come this far for nothing....
We can do it girl....we've got to stick to it and not give up when we hit the dreaded plateaus. We will push through and overcome. I know we can do it. I am so glad that you are with me on this journey...through the good and the bad. I know you are there for me and I hope you know I am here for you as well. I wouldn't trade our friendship for anything. I'm glad you are apart of my true story we call life. You are my sister! I love ya girl ;) Keep up the good work at the gym and keep tracking....this will pay off.

You and Tony look great!!
