September 22, 2010 ~ 115 pounds gone...
This past week I made a decision to start walking on a daily basis.  I was tired of only losing a pound here and there and decided that unless I wanted to take 6 years to finish up my weight loss that I needed to get out and MOVE!  Can you believe it? After walking a total of 9 miles this past week, my weight stayed the same! UGH! I was really thinking that I would be down 3 or 4 pounds this week! I know it is just my body reacting to the exercise, but still.....SIGH......

Okay, I'm over being upset. I know that I just have to keep doing what I am doing and it will pay off! Afterall, except for a handfull of times this past year I haven't exercised at all and managed to lose 115 pounds! So of course my body is going to go into shock and wonder what I am doing and try to hang on to every morsel I eat! AND...I always tell my clients that muscle weighs more than fat...so just maybe I need to take a little of my own advice!

The old Cindy would have ate something to console herself and then decided to not walk for a few days to give her body a rest and see if that would help. The new Cindy put her shoes on, was accountable to all her friends that she didn't drop any weight like she thought she would and went for a walk!!       (WHO IS THIS GIRL?)

I plan on getting to goal and I am not going to stop until I get there. I am 52 years old and feel stronger than I have ever felt in my life!! I can do this!
