....hey it's progress!

OK I'm gonna be totally honest with my blogs. Good or bad I will be honest with you. For one I try to be an honest person as a rule of life and this also forces me to be honest with myself. Anyway back to my point.  I did not meet all the challenges I set for myself : /  However, I did drink water water water and more water, but I did have a glass of Pepsi and a bottle of wheat grass passion fruit juice oh and a sip of sweet tea. I exercised 5 out of 7 days. Two of those days were amazing hour and a half walks on a mountainous up hill road.  I am shamed to say that I had a LOT of chocolate. The Big Pack Little Debbie Fudge Round kind of chocolate to be exact, and a Carmelo......and some chocolate ice cream.  So I broke up with Little Debbie this week, because if I have a box in the house I can't stop at one.  So here's the deal, I obviously can't do this on my own.  There are a lot of things that are bigger than myself and I know I have God at my side to get me through it.  OK I know in the grand scheme of things my weight should be the least of my worries.  I'm not really doing this to look good I'm doing this to feel good.  When I am eating right and exercising I feel GREAT and everything else in life seems to fall into place.

Last February I started Weight Watcher's for the third time, but that time it clicked and I lost 23 pounds. I was working out and feeling great. The past few weeks I have been searching for that again, but last night I realized I am going to have to go back to the way I was living in February. I have to pray for myself to follow the Weight Watcher's plan, exercise, and take my vitamins. It was working for me then and it will work for me now as long a I stick with it and stay humble.  I believe that there is great power in prayer.  It works for me in every aspect of my life so why not ask for strength and guidance with my health?

OK so on an exciting note I weighed in this morning and I lost 3.1 pounds this week!!!  It was the three pounds I had gained since I stopped WW but hey it's progress.  I am going in the right direction and this week it I can stay away from Little Debbie's I know I will do great. 

My challenge this week is and I know it's kind of a long shot, but I want to lose 5.6 pounds this week. That would be a 26 pound weight loss since my start last February.  I also am going to stay on plan and track what I eat.
