Weigh-In Wednesday

I am feeling great today!  We are back on our walking routine, so that is helping, but, as you now may recognize, it's weigh day for me!  Oh, Halloween, I was worried you'd tempt me, but low and behold- remember the whole not depriving myself of candy, but balancing it out with exercise thing?  I guess I did a pretty good job, because not only did I NOT GAIN, but I lost 1.6 lbs. busting me through the 30 lb. mark FINALLY!!!!!!!  I am SO excited!  Each time I hit a new 5 or 0 down, I get renewed faith that I can do this, and I'm winning the battle!  I feel so jazzed and energized that I think when I finish writing, today will be the day I join Curves.  I have NO EXCUSES today.  Dillon is with my mom for the day, I've already walked, and the laundry can wait! 

I also wanted you to know that I am so greatful for your kind words, your well wishes, and how some of you have even shared with me that I've inspired you!  When I started this adventure last week, I didn't think anyone would really care all that much about what I have to say.  But, today, my friend Steph, who is currently living in Germany shared with me that she reads almost everyday!  (Mind you, Steph does not have an ounce to lose even after having 2 beautiful boys, but she reads anyways!)  I have another reader- she and I share a mutual friend that we are both concerned about and only hope that we can motivate her to get active and healthy.  You stories, comments, and encouragement mean SO MUCH to me.  I honestly think this is partially why I did so well this week! 

So, thanks!  Now, I'm off to check our Curves!
