Weight Loss Update

To say I'm a little frustrated is completely true! I've lost 14 pounds since starting my new healthy eating lifestyle. (I hate calling it a diet.) That's 2 pounds less than my goal for the month. I suppose that's not exactly bad since January was a stellar month, but of course I'm dwelling on the 2 pounds instead of the 14. Figures. My clothes are definitely much looser and I am now wearing size 8 jeans. YEAH!!! I've got a ways to go yet and I am committed. I heard a great tip the other day (from the actress Valerie Bertinelli) add weights when walking. She had this neat vest that you could add weights to. Apparently it tricks the body into thinking you are heavier and it burns more calories. So, since I'm at one of those plateaus I'm going to add some weights and see what happens. Another tip I heard -- change your eating times. If you eat your heaviest meal in the evening, change it up. I'm willing to try it and see.

Lord, thank you for my victories. Continue to encourage me in my weaknesses.
