Whee!
Although I'm losing the weight slowly, I feel secure knowing that this is weight I will never put on again. My weight won't be yo-yo-ing as it would on diets (I'm on a very simple, easy to follow balanced diet.)
I'm just so PROUD of myself! I'm being so darn GOOD! Now: I know (I really do!) that down the line I will get tired of being so goo...

This past week has been awful for cravings! I was absolutely insatiable after every meal and wanted to eat everything - anything - all day long. Luckily I seemed to muster up some self control and did quite well, considering.

One small little step in my weight loss, I know. But that one little step will lead to my finally being able to fit into my skinny jeans - even my almost skinny jeans would suffice!

I bought my first yoga mat yesterday - It's pink with white flowers and I love it. I figured that liking the mat itself was important. If I really like it, I'll use it. I apply the same rule to workout clothing, and so far it hasn't steered me wrong.
Exercise has become a very positive part of my routine since I started trying to lose weight (35lbs to go!) and so far I've flollowed your basic gym workout: cardio for 25 min then upstairs to the weight room, alternating u...
