SUCCESS!!!

So, for a little over a week now I've been trying to get my body in a good routine, so as to healthify(is this a real word?) myself. Every day is a struggle. Every day I think of sugar and how good it tastes. Sometimes I give in, but the majority (yes majority!) of the time, I say no. I feel empowered every time I walk past a cinnamon roll from cinnabon, or only take a few small bites of cheesecake, or see the 3 sleeves of oreos in my cupboard still there after 10 days. Each time I decide to eat right I feel like I can do it again, and it's easier each time. I've been taking advantage of spring break by keeping myself active. Walking around a mall or store, walking to Grandma's house with the kids and/or the dogs. I knew it would be very slow going, but at least I was going. Today I weighed myself and found that I had lost almost 3 lbs! This is a very healthy pattern to keep for someone doing only a few changes at a time like I am. I'm excited to start this competition with everyone this weekend and see how far we all can go! Yay!
