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?

Isn't the wii fun? I love that friendly little voice that says "you're OBESE!" LOL!!

Good for you, taking it slowly. Be in it for the long haul! Sounds like you have your head on straight!

Good luck~ I'll have to stop back by again & see your success!!!
