It is hard to find time to walk. It shouldn't be that hard, I just don't make time for it. If I wanted to watch my favorite show, my schedule would be open. It is true that if something matters you will make it happen. Getting on the scale today and seeing 5 lbs less, it matters now! I am so proud of myself. I am the most proud that it is day 9 and I am still going. I know that sounds lame, but I have started this thing a million times. I will go strong for about 5 days and then I get over it.
There are people who have too low self esteem. I have to high. Because I have always thought that I had a pretty face, I let it go. Because I could dress fashionable, I would let it go. I rationalised that since I could still shop in a regular store...I could let it go. I can't anymore. I can't let this go. Don't let me.
Tonight, I had to make it happen but my regular plan was all off. William is working until 11 tonight. The kids needed to take baths and it was dark already. I am not comfortable walking at night alone. I started to think again, "one night off...not big deal." IT IS! So, I put the kids in the bath and got myself ready. I put on some gloves and headphones. Off I went, around my little culdesack. 20 times I went, singing "Dancing Queen". 20 times around where the light from the house could be seen. 20 times around where I could see the kids. 20 times around thinking to myself. I AM DOING IT!
Tonight I added tension bands once I got home. I could feel it in my arms after the second pull. Good sign that it has been to long since those muscles worked. I also added 5 new friends to my mailing list. I promised myself that every 5 lbs down, I would add 5 more accountability partners. Thank you for cheering me on. I need you guys more than you know.

What does that spell... MOTIVATED!
I love your motivation! YOU inspire me! I will cheer and cheer and cheer, until my arms fall off... all the way from Cali!
I could so see you grooving to the Dancing Queen out there, with a little sway in your step. Try That's Not My Name' by the Tin Tin's. Great song. That one pushes me through when I want to throw in the towel, hit the shower and call it a night.
Love you Sis!
XOXOXOX,

Way to GO!!!! Just back for a sec from Yosemite where Aunt April told me how proud of you she is, and my dad too. Watch out, the Guarascio's are on your ass now, all of em!!! I hope you have a really wonderful, special and low-cal Thanksgiving. I AM NOT SURE HOW YOU O THAT. Good luck and enjoy. I'm going to Georgia where i think fried food is very "in." Ick. Just say "Ick" when someone says fried food and eventually you will believe it... "Ick" And try saying "Ick" to Pumpkin pie with whipped cream and gravy and mashed potatoes with butter and cream. Ick Ick Ick.
