Confession and rejoicing

So, I got to our Bible study last night, served everyone my Indo food, then totally forgot - I mean totally - to pay attention to how much I was eating. I think I did all right, though. I can tell my stomach is shrinking. I just don't want to eat as much as I did just a couple of weeks ago! It is quite amazing! I did, however, eat a cupcake after getting home. Boo!

And...I got on the scale this morning to discover...I have lost THREE POUNDS!! Can you believe it? In 2 weeks? I am so excited! If it is wasn't so early in the morning, I would call you! ;-)

This is a huge encouragement to me. The things that encourage me most are:

• I'm not feeling deprived - the food I'm eating is tasty, satisfying and interesting
  
• I'm not hungry all the time - I'm finding ways to use my portions to satisfy me throughout the day
• I'm actually losing weight - which means this is working
• I'm doing this for free - not paying for any weight loss plan
• this is something I can keep up

Those are all great things! This coming week I hope to start walking every day I don't have something else scheduled. I can't stand walking for exercise; however, I love music, I love being outside. I'll hopefully combine those two things I do like and get past the not-liking-walking-thing! After all, I don't have room to do aerobics, I won't join a gym, and even though I love riding my bike, it can be quite a production when I only have 1/2 an hour or something like that.

Whew, enough from me! Love to you! C

P.S. The caption on this poster says, "Find the biggest ass and kiss it." Just thought that was funny. ;-)
