Okay! Five pounds down in January! 202 I'll take it. Not sure if being sick helped or hindered--down on food, but also down on exercise. Whatever. Hopefully February will see better health.
I'm just thinking how relentless the negative voices are. Satan is real. Five pounds is great! It's the Christmas bloat gone and, more importantly, I'm moving and working in the right direction. Satan would have it that it's "only" five pounds.That I've been here so many times before it's not even worth acknowledging, let alone feeling good about.
Oh yeah? It's about 1/4 of the way to the weight watchers all time low. It's where I was 25 years ago when we came back from Japan. It's 26 pounds down from my all-time high of 228. how easy it would have been to just have kept on going up and up and up and up from that! I could so easily be sitting here at 250 or worse.
No. Even though my weight is 50 pounds higher than I would like it to be, it's no small thing to win against middle-age spread, and it's a big deal to turn it around from Christmas. I'm encouraged to keep on working through February.
