Ah... on the road down!


New Day... new start...
I have been very excited to learn about the new ww changes. Found enough credit on a card to charge 3 months! So hoping that by February vacation I can be on my way to thin! Realistically, I just don't want to gain those 10 pounds I manged to lose and keep off this year. At this time of year it would be all to easy to do. So, I put my feet on the floor and started to use the treadmill. I put my money where my mouth is and rejoined on line. The program is just different enough that I will have to track my food and it will count my points. No more guessing... no more fudging... What do I expect this month... It would be great to be down 10 by Christmas. How about 30 by Feb. vacation ? Yes, the goal... if I manage to lose more than that, great! But 30 down will be super! And 30 more by summer... :)
I am going to try and figure out how to put a ticker on this blog! That would be motivating!
What am I willing to do? Track my food. Walk 20-40 minutes a day. Blog my losses! I certainly seem to have the daily points to not feel deprived. I can earn 3 extra points daily for the exercise. I am pretty psyched up to do this!!!
I don't want to mention this to Ken or anyone else for that matter. I keep quitting and I don't want to disappoint anyone or myself. So I will just do my thing... and results will soon follow!
I have already started to walk in the AM so that is in place.going on line after dinner shouldn't be a problem. I'll have planning time to blog. I'll take measurements and pictures on Thursdays when Ken is at school.
I have a plan in place... and tools to see me get the results I am looking for!

Thanksgiving Blessings

A moment of peace to reflect on what is important to me...
My husband and children are my driving force. Seeing them happy and doing what they love brings a smile inside and out. My home... beautiful and a place for relaxing, socializing and being! Having friends that we enjoy simple times with... knowing we can count on each other. Keeping and making traditions for all seasons. Teaching my children the importance of family, love and contentment.
Letting go of resentments when others don't have the same values. I need to work on this.
