Weigh In

Okie-dokie, the magical scale has pronounced that I now weigh.....196. That is 6 lbs total lost since we started this blog. WAHOO!!!! I'm sure that doesn't seem like much to skinny-minny and Holly's 47 lbs lost but at least the numbers are going down!

So I'm thinking.....this is the biggest change I've seen and it's coming on the heels of my aforementioned mental discovery (uncertainty feels a lot like hunger), so.....coincidence? I think not.

Also, (sorry Holly, gotta post it) I've been mega-spiritual lately....morning and evening family prayers, morning and evening couple prayers, morning and evening personal prayers, personal scripture study with the seminary manuals that I bought, etc. And the result is that I'm so incredibly happy! I'm humming and singing around the house, I'm better with the kids, the kids seem a little less whiney, and I seem to have more energy.

Anyway, downward movement in the numbers is encouraging. Just imagine what might happen if I combine my epiphany and spirituality with some exercise....

Awesome....simply awesome! It's amazing what a little happiness can do. Another amazing fact....if you are happy then even if the number are NOT going down....who cares, I'm HAPPY! (okay, so maybe not...numbers down in better). Congrats! Keep going!

It's 1:25 AM. I can't remember the last time i stayed up this late but i was writing a novel on my blog. Go READ IT! (I must be tired. There are a few uncapital-ed I's on this page and I don't care to fix them). Sooooooo not like me.

Good for you!!!

It probably counts as exercise to be getting up and down to your knees all the time... I mean, that is six times, right? Imagine if you exercised?! You'd disappear!!

And, for the record, I don't know how accurate the 47 is in retrospect. Does it count if you get weighed only after not eating for the last 14 hours? Because then it's not a really realistic log, y'know?

Maybe I suck it up as bad as I ever have. I don't know. But you, you are working it and I am proud of you!!!!
