I have a new addition and hopefully it doesn't send me to the poorhouse ( actually not to far from renting there now.  Anyway I am addicted to the wii and playstation.  Had them both for a few years and played here and there, but I am so loving tennis and dance revolution.  I have or maybe they have brought me back to life.  I was at a friends house and got to play the guitar one for the wii and I have to put it on my list of rewards/wants. 

I went in for my first fill and met my very first goal... I am down 20lbs.  I'm doing my best to not focus on the scale but instead focus on how my clothes feel and how I feel.  I switched out my summer clothes and was so happy to discover that I fit a good portion of my clothes that were either too tight and uncomfortable or too tight and small.  I feel like I have a new wadrobe.  I have a couple of items that I purchased and never wore that now I need to hurry up and wear them while they fit right.  Gotta find a good tailor or sharpen my alteration skills.  I love to sew but alterations suck.  If this is going to be my biggest incovenience I am not ashamed to say that I can live with it.  I've been trying to lose weight forever.  I was never able to get past the 25# mark.  After that I would plateau and go up and down a couple of #'s and then give up.  When I hit 30#'s I have to celebrate.  I have to buy me something nice or maybe I'll just make myself a wall quilt.  Either way it has to be a visual reminder of how far God has brought me.  I praise him constantly throughout the day b/c I never would have seriously considered this had a not placed a co-worker in my path who had it.  I knew her before and watched her melt and change.  Other than going back to school this has been the best thing that I have ever done for ME.  Both were decisions that people will benefit greatly from.  TUJ (Thank You Jesus)!

I went on a field trip today-an outside nature walk with my daughters' class.  Pre-Op I would've been done after 5 minutes.  I am proud to say that after walking/moving around for almost two hours that the only thing that was bothering me was the really cold weather.  I had no aches/pains--even climbed about 50 stairs and didn't feel like I was dying from lack of oxygen.  These small but significant improvements keep me goal oriented.  I do need to start putting a recipe book together for meal variety.
Last night I pulled out some of my tapes and started to exercise.  What made it real motivational was that my girls worked out with me.

I'm really trying to figure this all out.  I've lost 18lbs so far and found that I was a little disappointed with that.  I've found NSV's ( non scale victories to keep me motivated.  Right now I'm really trying to figure out how to personalize this site to keep me coming back...
