Weekly Weight Loss Recap:  

This has been a great week.  Although some might think this week should not be considered successful because I am the same weight as I was last Sunday.  However, I lost some pounds and gained some pounds during the week, ultimately beginning and ending the week at the some weight.  This type of weight fluctuation can be very normal.  For me it is pretty normal, especially when I have not been totally vigilant in my use of the program.  I have made some choices that have affected my steady weight /pound loss.  But I am not disappointed in my progress of no pounds lost as there are other measurements that tell me I am still on the correct path.  That is my overall measure of my success- knowing that I am on the correct path. And I love to stop and smell the roses and take a side path once in a while.  So it is not unusual for me to deviate a bit from the marked path, but I do try to always make my way back to the proven path. 

Last week you will recall that I had started my exercise program.  I found that my knees were not handling things very well.  Even though the exercise was low impact, my knees have not been happy.  I am going to try to go to the pool with my parents this week and see if exercising in the pool will help my knees be happier.  However, I did more exercise this week than I have for a long time.  I have been super busy and have done a ton more walking than I have for a long time as well.

So even though my exercise program is not turning out have I was planning, I am glad to report that I have realized it needed adjustment and I am adjusting to what I need at the very moment to make things better for my overall health.  I am succeeding............. such a wonderful thing.

I am not going to recap all the weight loss weeks for you.  The main reason is that you can go here to see them.  And.......... I did not loose weight this week so the weight recap is the same as last weeks. BUT..........

I have lost some more inches!!!  My clothes are even looser than before.  Whoot, Whoot!!

Maybe with my little bits of exercise, I lost some lighter fat pounds and traded them for heavier muscle pounds.  I really don't even care.  All I know is that I still feel better than I have for a very long time and my clothes are looser and I am positive that live is good and headed in a good direction.  Does anything else really matter?  

OK I KNOW SPIRITUALLY I am still behind and lacking, but I am heading towards a better spiritual situation as well.  I am working heavily on my physical self because it is the greatest part of my life that is out of balance.  As time goes on, my physical self will come into a better balance with my emotional, spiritual, financial and serving sides and all will be in balance to where I will feel great about my whole life.  

Here is a photo of me in my favorite 

vest that was too small for me when 

I found it at the second hand shop, 

but had to have it anyway because 

I believe it is beautiful.

I love wearing this vest now.  So it 

has become one of my few standard

uniforms.

Nothing tastes as good 

as getting thin feels!!!

I could even button it, if

I was not going to sit down!

(weird flash thing happened)
