Hard work pays off!

Okay, so I am getting all kinds of exercise but I am still having the same issues with food!  This journey is never going to be an easy one!

I managed to lose 2.2lbs this week so I am VERY thankful.  One day at a time, one step at a time, one meal at a time, one moment at a time!

Yesterday I managed to stay within my Weight Watchers points value for food and I didn't use up the extra 49 points all in one fell swoop!  That is VICTORY!  Over 14,000 steps counted on the pedometer too!

Today I am off to ZUMBA, and Zills and Drills in Belly Dancing!

It is a struggle!

It is so wonderful that I continue to receive support from so many people.  I am truly thankful for the support.

This journey is not easy.  It is so easy to put expectations on myself to "do better".  When I gain weight, I know there is a reason but it doesn't stop me from being frustrated.  Some days, I just wish this could be easier! 

I know one thing beyond a doubt, that if I give up, I will not live a healthy life.  I have to keep reminding myself that setbacks are okay as long as I dust myself off, and get right back at it.

Today is a new day!

ZUMBA!

I have added ZUMBA to my list of activities.  I tried this once back in April and I gave up...it was so hard...but 57.8lbs later...I am much better at it.

And my instructor lost 130 lbs...and can she move those hips!

Today, 30 minute walk, 60 minute ZUMBA class, 60 minute belly dancing class!
