& that's really okay, because I've got my mind set to NOT let the scale guide me through this process, right? Well...I LOST 4 POUNDS!!! :o) LOL!!
Actually...I've decided to weigh-in every 2 weeks & it's really turned out well. So, that was 4 lbs in 2 weeks, which is absolutely perfect!
Things are going so well...I've really got this mental thing under control...this IS more mental than anything, you know? I'm starting to exercise because I WANT TO & loving it...excited to get started (simple stuff @ the moment). I'm eating fresh fruit & veggies and feeling totally fulfilled. Finding pleasure in everything that I've always found to be a chore. I sure hope you guys feel this way, too!
My normal M.O. for WI night (since my first try in high school) is to splurge on something for dinner...usually not something fabulous, either, but I'm not doing that this time around! I have found that my FAVORITE Chinese food is low points! Wok Seered PotStickers (pork dumplings) a point a piece, so I head to my favorite local Chinese place & get an order of 4 & a Chinese Chicken Salad...for a total of about 8 points!
Okay...I need to go for a walk, I have WAY too much energy right now! LOL!!
Thanks for being such a HUGE part of why I have this mindset...you guys are AWESOME! :o)

RAMBLING...I LOOK AT WEIGHT-LOSS LIKE THIS...
HOW I SEE THIS...
If I were mid-life & stuck in a rut career wise, it's just so easy to say...
"I'm too old to change"
"I can't go to school full time, it'll take me YEARS to get a new degree, why bother?"
"At least I'm getting paid well...I get all of these perks...it doesn't really matter if I hate what I'm doing, that I'm depressed & all stressed out, but at least I'm getting paid well."
(I could go on & on...)
If you make the decision to take that STEP towards a new career path (or a new healthy body), taking the time (no matter how long it takes) to get that certificate or degree, look at where your life can be a few years down the road (as long as the economy is good! LOL!). Who cares if it took some time...at least you got there, right?
Okay...and now you have this wonderful new career (healthy body) ...life is good, perks are pretty good, too. Are you ready to make the decision that you are going to take the time to do what is right for your life? Whatever it takes, no matter how much or how long?? (say YES!)
Time is going to pass...those better jobs (health) are out there. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LOOK BACK A FEW YEARS FROM NOW & BE DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU DIDN'T DO SOMETHING TO SET YOURSELF IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?
Something to think about. (yes, I AM talking about weight loss & working for a better life... of course if you don't like your job, you can use this message for that, too! LOL!!)
