Shopping

 

I went shopping on Saturday for a dress to wear to a wedding this weekend.  How fun it was to try on dresses and have choices.  It was not all about 'finding one that fit', but rather which one did I like the best!  Sure does give me incentive to keep losing!

5K

I did it!  I ran the Lake Health 5K yesterday with my daughter.  She said if I would run it she would come home and run with me.  So off we went yesterday on a beautiful crisp morning run.  It was actually a run/walk for me but I was thrilled to complete the race with her.  Neither of us are runners like my son - he was running the 1/2 marathon.  I've had such positive encouragement from my family as I was preparing for this race.  I also could not be losing weight the healthy way without my kids and husband supporting my exercise routines and all the healthy food I've been preparing;  we are all benefiting from it!

Perspective

Right after I weighed in on Saturday I had the pleasure of holding a very sweet one year old baby girl who just happened to weigh the same as the pounds I have lost to date.  What an ideal way to put my weight loss into perspective! 

 

For those who may be getting discouraged, I highly recommend that you gather and weigh something that is equal to your weight loss, then pick it up and hold and carry it.  It will bring a smile to your face and should energize and motivate you to keep working hard!!

 

Thanks Kate~~!
