It’s Thursday and I haven’t written yet.  Where has this week gone?  The Holiday on Monday and my son not feeling well Tuesday has made for an interesting week.  But I am thrilled with losing two pounds.  David stayed the same but that’s okay.  He knows he could be doing better and is taking steps to do so.  Sunday was a big football day so he was off to a party with lots of food.  The Superbowl will be interesting both in terms of  temptations and a divided house on who should win.  My parents live in Maine so I’m hoping that the Patriots go all the way an truly have a perfect season.  But I digress.

I can already see a difference in how my clothes fit and how different my face looks after losing 6 pounds. So to make sure I keep moving in this positive direction I’ve set some short term goals. 

First my parents are coming in 2 ½ weeks.  I’d like to lose another 4 pounds by Feb. 8^th.  That would be a total of 10 lbs of weight loss.  Since I’ve average 2 pounds a week over the last 3 I know I can do it.

The Second goal is to lose another 10 pounds by March 21^st when I go see my cousin Kate in NJ.  That will be a total of 20 lbs which means the scale should read 190lbs and that will be a number I haven’t seen in several years.

So wish me luck as I work on these goals.  I’ll let you know how I’m doing and if I reach them. 

I can’t help but smile these days I feel strong and proud.  I hope you do too.
