well, I'm not discouraged.....

I did not meet my goal for these 2 weeks, but, I am down another 4 pounds. That is a very good thing, and a fairly healthy amount for someone my size to lose.

So, I was thinking of ways to stay focused and motivated, and I remembered something that I heard in a weight watchers meeting. For every pound lost, go buy a pound of dry beans, and keep them in the package and store them in a pillow case. The idea being that it is a visable amount, and when feeling that it isn't much, carry the pillow case around.

So now to my only 2 problems, first, my poor feet are taking a beating, and on Tuesday I'm going to have to get a new pair of walking shoes, and second, when Jennifer isn't able to walk with me, it gets really boring, so eventually I'm going to get an ipod, so I can have something to listen to. Marria, do you have either of these problems?

I got an email from Jessica, I just have one thing to say. Marathons?!? Those people are crazy. I'll be content if my boobs will just stick out further than my belly, how's that for honesty?

This weeks wieght:323.5
Total weight lost:8.5

Have a blessed day, and thanks for joining me on this difficult journey to mo'bettaness.

Woohoo! Go Anna! You should check out a book called Prayer Walk. I'll try to find it and bring it to you on quilt day. It's really good, about this lady who started praying for people as she walked -- people she would pass by, people she knew, the world, etc -- and she saw not just weight loss and stress relief, but also what she felt like were direct answers to her prayers. That could kill some time while walking.
