Five (and a half) pounds!

I probably shouldn't be so excited since it has taken me about 6 weeks to actually get moving, but I am down 5.5 pounds. And, I THINK, I really lost five pounds. It's not just water, and I'm not going to gain it back tomorrow. I am trying so hard to really change. Sometimes the part of me that wants FAST weight loss becomes almost overwhelming. I almost didn't eat dinner last night because I didn't get home to eat until 9 p.m. and I knew I was weighing in this morning. But, the intelligent part of me took over and I ate. I didn't eat a LOT, but I ate. :-) I am going to stay positive and keep making life changes. This week, I've kept my exercise up. I walked for 45 minutes on Monday, rested on Tuesday, walked on Wednesday, trained with Whitney on Thursday, and walked this morning. Whitney is coming to train me tomorrow, so that will be five workouts this week. I feel good about that. I am establishing new habits and it makes me happy.
