I watched Tuesday night's BIGGEST LOSER COUPLES, it is just part of the routine of the week, I feel that  something is missing if I don't get to watch it.  It is definitely a motivation, an inspiration and a support tool to my efforts here at home.   Everyone had done so well in week 1 so I couldn;t wait to see week 2 results.  

 

My heart sank a little each time the numbers  were so little and to see the disappointment of everyones faces.  I can understand it.  I know I have that same reaction when the scale and I don't agree.

 

Having seen Tuesday's show it has given me prespective in my week 2 ( weigh in Tuesday Mornings).  As long as I don't gain and hopefully loss 1 pound I'll be happy for my week 2.  I have been working through a cold this week but have maintained my worksouts but have given into some sweet comfort foods in the evenings when I'm feeling run down.  Last night I had two cupcakes, no frosting, that I had bought for my son.   Hopefully it won;t hurt the results on the scale, but I am back on the horse and find an alternative tonight of the comfort food need finds me.

 

Another thought this week is that now that I'm bringing lunch elveryday I am spending less money, which is reallyy great since we are still working to get back on our feet financially after my husband was laid off in August and has only been at his new job since the start of December.  So saving money is great especially since I will need to buy new clothes later this year when my current clothes become to big an baggy. 

 

YEs, I'm thinking positively, I have realized that helps motivate me to keep on this journey of better health and new way of living.  I'm really looking at this as a new way to live and not a a deit.  It might take me more than a year to lose all the weight I want but each day is one step closer.   In the end it is not how long it takes me but that I get there.  I really think I have the mental tools I need to make this happen.  I have but other things lower on the proirity list and brought this one up to the top. 

 

Wish me luck on MY week 2 weigh on the 15th.

 

Have a great day and keep smiling.
