Progress Thus Far-Day 5

So I just weighed in.  I have lost 4 pounds so far.  The scale says 36.4.  Hooray!  I met my goal thus far which is 2 lbs a week.

My motto which was originally said by Yoda but I also got from Eclipsed is "Try Not.  Do or do not, there is no try".  I keep catching myself saying I am trying to lose weight.  I need to adjust that to I am going to lose weight. 

I am going tonight to possibly join a weight loss challenge group.  I am planning to run/walk a 5K on November 6 with my daughter and some friends.  My plan for exercise is to do a workout video 2-3 times a week and walk/run 3 times a week. 


I am excited about the weight lost so far!!  I have been trying making sure that I eat as I am prone to skip meals.  I am also paying attention to how much and what I eat.  I have also stopped drinking all sodas.  I won't touch another soda until I am under 200 lbs.  Maybe by then I won't want them.  Boy have I craved a Mountain Dew!

Arianna and I went for our first walk last night and I was amazed at how much we got to talk.  I am with my kids all day but I didn't realize how much more quality talks you get in when it is just one child.  I enjoyed the walk with her!  Last night before bed she prayed that we would win the race.  I don't have that kind of faith:)  I just want to finish the race!
