The journey continues

Well when I weighed in this morning as I do every morning, I saw that I have lost 8 pounds. Wow, 8 pounds, in a week. I am taking this one day at a time, since long term has always been a failure for me in my struggles with weight. I have had a couple of days where I have thought, "man, a cheeseburger sure would be good," then I tell myself that the cheeseburger will still be there when I am all done with my diet. I am looking forward to the purchase of new jeans, Levis 501's will be my first purchase and then a great pair of Silver jeans.

I have been working out on my treadmill for 30 minutes a day and today I am going to charge up the Wii Fit and get after the yoga workout and some boxing. After all, the only use the Wii Fit board seems to get is when I have moved it to vacuum or putting it up after Tay has snowboarded or Tori Kay has been here and her and Tay have juggled.

Brandon has been working out with me and that has been awesome to have him and his skinny butt going through this with me. It has been hard at times because when you live in a house of skinny people, no matter what you are always the elephant in the room. People make fat jokes and I laugh, but then I wonder, "is that what they secretly think of me?"

On to week 2, and downward the scale will go.
