Penny for My Thoughts...

I know 230ish is nothing to be proud of BUT today I realized I am down to my wedding day weight (8 years ago). Then my next thought was I am NEVER gonna be that weight again!! The scale keeps going down and at this point there is no turning back for me. I have done A LOT in the past few weeks since 9-7-09 to finally make permanent changes in my life.

Since I have been journaling my daily food, 40+ days now, I have seen major changes in my eating habits/choices/portions. I now never endulge in large quantities, can say NO to temptations and feel really good about it instead of beating myself up about it. Realize I can have a day where I "Live" a little (key word is a little) and not feel guilty about it.

I now know I never want to go back to what I WAS!!! I want to set a good example for my kids, make better choices, be able to play with my kids without feeling crappy afterwards, say YES when something comes up instead of making excuses, and ALL the other good stuff that comes with being healthier.

Now that journaling my food and Calories is like second nature for me I am going to add exercise into the regime. In hopes that it will bump up my weight loss. I wanted to take the time to really get a good grip on my food/water intake before adding anything else to my schedule. Plus a few schedule changes happened recently (Fall Break, Husband going to PT Tuesday's and Thursday's) that through me OFF schedule. So now that school (for the kids) is back in session and we are kinda back to what I call "normal" I can fit exercise into the daily grind.

I am looking forward to watching the weight drip off of me.
