Keeping On

So I'm going to be completely honest with all of you...my weight loss isn't going so great this time around.  At this point I've lost half of what I had lost by week 6 of the last challenge I did.  I think the slower pace of losing makes it harder to stay focused and motivated.  I'm determined though to keep losing, even if it takes a lot longer than I had originally planned and hoped for.

This week's challenge to stop eating at 8 PM has been good for me.  It is such a habit for me to have a snack at night after my kids are in bed...and usually it's not a healthy snack.  This week I've realized that I definitely don't need it.  I'm not hungry, it is just a habit, and I can break it.

So I'm just trying to keep going and focus on feeling better and being healthier even when the scale isn't moving.  So here are a few of my non-scale victories this week.  Tonight I ran a mile with my husband...I hate running...I haven't run since long before I was pregnant with my now 6 month old...so that was a victory, I'm glad to know I can run a mile without dying.  I also managed this week to distract my Zumba teacher and make her forget where she was at in the middle of the song!  We were dancing along and I thought it was time for a big arms waving over the head turn...well I turned about 8 counts to early...as soon as I realized I was the only one turning I tried to correct myself and ended up doing one of the most spastic dance moves of all times...apparently crazy enough to stop a very experienced Zumba instructor mid-dance. Now that takes some fitness skills right there!  Right?

Anyway, thanks for hanging in this challenge with me!  Keep on Ladies!
