You thought I quit didn't you?

Ha... I know you thought I had quit... given up... was the biggest loser (& not in a good way...)

But alas, here I am... 2009... still keeping on.... slow but steady...

My excuses for not posting? My computer died... I have been sick & I lost my log on... so yes, I am a bit of a loser after all...

My resolution for 2009... just to keep on keeping on... No matter how long it takes,
I WILL DO IT THIS TIME!

Since I began MY CHOICE in Nov (was it Nov?) I am down 14 lbs.... granted I lost the first 6-8 in the first week.... but I am going in the right direction RIGHT? I have to keep telling meself this to just doing what I am doing....

I am the type of "dieter" that likes to lose 20 lbs in a month for whatever big occasion may be coming up...look great for the one night, & then spend a week putting it all back on. This is the story of my life....

So to take 2 months to lose 14 lbs is painfully SLOW for me.... but hopefully, this time, I can keep the scale moving in the right direction....

I am no longer on a diet---- I am doing nothing fad-ish... I am still listening to my hypsnosis (not every night like I was) but a few times a week... & just trying to keep moving...

I keep telling myself that if I continue to eat less... & move,
good things HAVE TO HAPPEN.

I have been eating whatever I want.... with the big difference being no more binges....
'
When i would get super hungry I could go through a bag of chips on my way home from work... Or a candy bar... whatever, you get the picture....

Hubby is on the band wagon with me.... we got the wii fit for Christmas & I think it was a real wake up call for him.... He has never in his life been on a "diet" or ever tried to lose weight... because when he would increase his activity even the smallest amount, weight would drop off of him....

When he hopped on the Wii & it said he was OBESE... he had to be honest with himself...
We now have a bet on who will lose the largest % of weight before March 15th.. ($150) I know he will win, but I am just thankful for someone to work out with & help in planning healthier meals....

I haven't been walking as much as of late, but plan on getting back into it.. We went for an hour walk today... & I have been playing between 1/2 -hour of wii fitness everyday... (have I mentioned I LOVE wii Fit?)

How are you all doing? Any good news out there?
