(Updated)The Good and Bad, mostly Good, and weekly Goals.

I exercised 6 days last week.  I didn’t do as much as I had planned each day, just the same I am happy with what I did.  I made more effort to drink enough water each day, and ate better than I had the week before.  I can tell the difference in my legs, I have more muscle tone.  My Canckles are disappearing.  I haven’t had ankles in over 20 years. 

The outer changes are great, but the inner changes are even better.  I am learning to see myself more clearly.  I am able to see I am capable of dealing with my emotions and not numb them with food.  Little by little I am getting closer to uncovering the person I am becoming.  I am finding my self and my voice. 

I am so thankful to everyone here for the support, encouragement, and words of advice.  I know I would not be able to do this alone.  It is easier to believe the negative self talk that has held me back for years.  Turning off that nasty little voice and learning to listen to the positive is surly one of the most difficult things I will ever do.  I know I can do it though.  I am not alone in this and I will never be again.  I know I have the support here and in my real life friends.  Being confident in this gives me the drive to do more. 

My goals for the week.  Aiming high to push myself, you never know what you can do until you try.

  2. 75 push ups each day
  3. 40 push ups every other day
  4. Biggest Loser DVD Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday
  5. Drink 90 oz of water each day
