Once a month I do an update on my New Years goals...
Stop reading now if this bores you ~
If not, thanks for sticking with me... here is how I am progressing
My goals are in bold
1.50 lb Weight Loss ~ I cannot even begin to tell you how awesome I feel... I know I lost something because now my normal jeans are baggy and today I am wearing a smaller size jean!!!!!
Oh and the hubby said he could tell I lost something too ~
he is not sure where though... lol! ~~ MEN!
Here are pics taken one month apart... aside from my hair cut... not too sure if there is much of a facial difference...YET! My outlook is so much brighter on a lot of things (jobs to name one)
Oh and I can actually TASTE food... prior to this I would eat and never even taste a lot of things.
I am taking my time eating and although
I am eating what I want (healthy) and NOT counting calories daily but I am still staying at about 1500 per day. (I did count for a few days just to see)
I am loving the spring weather because I can get outside and WALK!
I have been spending time each day outside and it is awesome!
I am so excited!!!
I am planning a Dr appt by next month so by then I hope I will have a pound loss amount
Wohooo!
3.Conscious Decision to be positive~ I am still a work in progress
Neither of our job situations have changed but we are doing what we need to to be okay and I am feeling better about it.
I cannot base my happiness on my lack!
4.Make more time for ME... this is still tough... I am feeling guilty when I do something for me... in time I guess!
5.Make more time for God... I am doing a lot of talking and a lot of listening to Him!
6.Read all of Nicholas Sparks books~ I am DONE!!!
Wohoooooo
... follow up coming soon
Will possibly try it again!

Good for you, Patricia! It looks like you've really accomplished a lot thus far; the most exciting being your weight loss! It really does make a person feel better to exercise and eat healthier. Not only that, the weight reduction shows that you are capable of achieving something important to you, and that's a great feeling! Keep it up and good luck!
