Sorry for the delay in posting...

I haven't posted on this blog for awhile...I'm sure the 3 readers I have will be happy to see a new entry! LOL!

So, I'm still doing really well. I was down to 233.7 this morning which makes over 16 lbs of weight loss since 1/8/08...not bad for an old lady who doesn't exercise as much as she should...I still am really loving what I'm doing and have no plans to change my eating situation...I don't feel deprived at all and even though the losing is slower than it was in my 20's I think because I don't feel deprived, I'll stick with it....forever.....Again, I add the disclaimer that if in two weeks I'm eating See's candy by the pound...don't crucify me.

So, here's to plugging along and realizing that next year at this time, I could be at my goal weight, exciting thought!

Finally Down...

I was FINALLY down on the scale today on my "official" weigh in day for WW on-line. And I was down to 237...I've been down there before, mind you, but never on a weigh in day - at least I don't think I have. So I am down 13 lbs since 1/8/08, which isn't bad...I'm not sure how much I've lost according to my little chart at WW...I've been concentrating more on what my scale at home says, in the morning...naked, before eating or drinking a thing...

I sort of feel like I've been working on the same 3 pounds for about 2 weeks, but I keep going back to the fact that I'm not really feeling deprived...losing slowly is healthier...I'm making a "life change" and that takes time...at least that's what I keep telling myself...

Maybe Prayer will help??

So, I had an OK week last week. I actually ate really well, I didn't work out as much as I have in past weeks, but I did pretty well. So, I lost .8 lbs...I think I was expecting that my weight would just fall off or something. I really thought that, at least at the beginning I would lose at least 2-3 lbs per week, but that hasn't happened.

I'm not discouraged by what I'm eating, I feel really good about it and don't feel deprived at all - but I wish the scale would go down more. And silly things like my wedding ring not being that loose yet...my pants, however are loose. I know that a year from now by following WW and working out that I will be smaller than I am now and I'm not planning on quiting AT ALL...just a little discouraged by the scale.

So, I've started praying about it...I know it may sound silly to pray about my weight, but I learned a long time ago to "Don't worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for the answers" Phil 4:6...so I'm asking God to help me not to get discouraged and specifically to help release this weight from my body. I know that I have to do my part, and I feel like I am - so maybe God can help me out a little...I'll let you know what answers I get....
