Thank you again for everyones support through this journey. It really does help me enormously!!!
I went to the doctor's yesterday. The first time since December 3rd. With all the Christmas parties going on, as well as Christmas and New Year's and not really eating the way I should with the kids home. Piece of chocolate here. Piece of fudge there. I thought to myself that if I gained a pound or two or at least hopefully stayed the same, I could live with that. After all you have to enjoy as well and not deprive yourself all together.
I did have a challenge this past month as well. With the holidays etc., Michelle was not able to get out and walk as often with me. MY ACCOUNTABILITY WAS GONE!!! WAS THIS THE EXCUSE I NEEDED NOT TO GO???? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! Instead I went on facebook to ask if anyone could go walking with me. The first to respond was Kathy. But she could not go when I was going but offered to go any other time. I had no one to go but I was determined I wasn't cancelling on myself. As I was pulling out of the driveway my friend Mike responded. I told him I was on my way there now. He said I will be there in 10 minutes. Where do we meet? Thanks Mike.
I do honestly believe that keeping up with the walking this month really helped!!! I was thrilled when I got on the scale at the doctor's office yesterday. I was down another 4 pounds!!!! Happy Dance!!!! How I lost with all the eating and yes drinks this month??? It had to be the walking. So I am at a total loss so far of 16 pounds and counting. 232 is where I am now and I am very much looking forward to what a new year and a new outlook has to bring.
From my family to yours, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
P.S. Everyone is asking for a comparrison picture. When I hit the 20 pound mark I will take a new one to post.
