Trying to Keep Up the Momentum

Hello Friends,

This week I am down another pound.  Six pounds and counting.  I feel my mind and body getting comfortable with eating healthier.  I made cupcakes for a cupcake challenge we are having and I ate half of one to taste the finished product.  I really didn't want any more.  I didn't have talk myself out of eating more this time. My mind truly was satisfied with the couple bites I had.  Six months ago, I would have licked the bowl of the remaining batter (still is the best part), then continue on to eat 6, or 10, or a dozen during the course of the weekend.  Wow, I really must have hated myself.
The weekends activities were normal activities but added more exercise in it.  Instead of watching TV my daughter and I danced to DISCO music.  Disco I my absolute favorite music.  Oh and when "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire is on...Forget about it.... I am in a zone and dancing my heart out.  In reality I must look like Elaine from Seinfeld when I dance but I wish I looked like one of the dancers Saturday Night Fever.  Ha Ha..  Since it has cooled down we planted some mums for fall, pulled out an old dying tree, and ran around the back yard with my daughter.  Picking up bags of dirt, potting the plants, lifting pots and moving them was a workout but well worth it.  We have some color to look at now.  Also, some other extras were walking up and down the stairs to put the laundry away.  I would carry smaller loads up and down so I would have more stair climbs.  While dinner was cooking I did push-ups.

Tomorrow is the beginning of a new week.  We are so busy at work, thank goodness.  It makes the days go by fast.
