Well, I am happy to say that I am another pound down. That makes me 18 pounds down, which to me, is practically 20. It really helps that my brother and sister are both health freaks right now, then when I go to my cottage (like this past weekend) I don't have problems with eating healthy.

Another thing that has been really nice is all this remodeling going on at the station. In fact, that is why I forgot to blog last week...we remodeled here all that weekend and even into that week. Anyway, I have been working like crazy, painting and, well...mostly painting. Which is really nice because I love to paint. So, I have been getting my share of exercise this week.

This week will be another work week, so I shouldn't have a problem with the exercise. I have been finding lately, however, is that when I work more at the station, I tend to eat less because I totally forget and lose track of time. That's not good because I don't want my metabolism to slow down when I forget to eat, so that will be my goal for this week.

Like always, thank you so much for your support! Look forward to seeing you back here next week!

Well, this week has been great. I have been keeping heavy track of what I eat on sparkpeople.com (if you haven't checked out that website, and you are trying to lose weight, I highly recommend it...it has changed my life). It takes dedication, but it is well worth it. I count out my chips if I eat them and measure everything so I can keep track. I don't know about you, but I have to measure things out, at least for now, because my eyes disagree with me as to what a normal portion of food looks like.

So yes, this week has been good and hard. Josh and I have been walking/working out everyday (including the weekend) and there were a couple times there were opportunities for me to eat pizza and I didn't. This first time was supper hard, but then when I didn't eat any I was proud of myself so then when the second time came it was a bit easier.

Also, again, like I say every week, none of this would be possible without the support of my wonderful husband, my family, Scott and you! When you read my blogs and even let me know that you are supporting me in your prayers and thoughts, it is unbelievably encouraging. Thank you so much for helping me over the hump of discouragement!!!!!!
