Day 7/294 of My Health Journey

Well, today was the official first weigh-in day. I was a little scared when I had to step on the Wii. Yes, that's how I weigh myself. I figured its a pain to set up each time so I won't be stepping on it everyday. I had a problem with that when I had a bathroom scale. I was stepping on it all the time and was at the point of being obsessed. One day, Ron told me I should just smash it or get rid of it because I never liked what it said.

Well, that's exactly what I wound up doing with it one day. I took it out into the backyard, set it on the sidewalk, got a sledge hammer out of the garage, and beat the hell out of it. HAH! It had no control over me any longer. It felt so good! And of course, my neighbors probably thought I was nuts!

This was probably a year ago and I haven't really weighed myself regularly since then. Which brings me back to stepping on the Wii balance board this morning to get a current weight....

I am happy to report I weighed in at 2.4 pounds less than last week. WOO-HOO! I now weigh 198.0. Good-bye 200's. I will never see you again. It wasn't a perfect week, but I felt like I did a good job overall and that's what it's all about. I was able to fit in two days of exercise and I followed my diet closely. We even went out to eat twice and I tried to make good choices at the restaurants.

I also want to talk about the wedding shower I went to today. My cousin Justin is marrying Julie in October and the shower was today. I was able to make good food choices, had a great time with family, and even got some shopping done at the farmer's market on the way (can you say fresh locally grown produce?). What a great afternoon!

Well, I'll be back tomorrow with more thoughts. Keep reading...

Until then, Pam
