October 2010

Wow! November 2nd...Really??
Well at the beginning of this little journey I weighted well over 250 pounds.
At the beginning of October I weighed 247 pounds and on November 1st I weighed 242 pounds!
At first I thought...5 pounds. Just 5 little pounds. Then I thought about my bigger accomplishments

• I changed myself in a ways that can't be measured or weighed. 
• I have a new attitude about working out and eating right.  
• I have a new respect for my body and know that I need to take better care of it.
• I have made it a priority to learn how to take better care of my body. 
• I have lost inches and changed the shape of my body.
• I didn't gain all my weight back during the week and half that I didn't work out after surgery!
• I didn't gain during the week prior to Halloween...yes I view this as an accomplishment.  

I am 5 pounds lighter but its so much more than that.  I hope that anyone trying to lose weight can see all the other positives and not just focus on the numbers.  I am better now for the choices that I made in October and I hope to be even better this month!! 

We did order P90X! We were going to start it on the 1st but my doctor wants me to hold off.  We are aiming for the 14th.  I will keep you posted on the experience!

Here's to a new month with new goals!! 

Happy November!!
