183.6 Is This Fun Or What?

Is it all about giving up that bowl of fruit before bed? That bowl of very healthy food that I rationalized was so good for me that the added calories wouldn't count?

It's probably that and other factors, including more emphasis on exercise. I've just about doubled the time I am actively doing my water therapy exercises and I've upped my time on the Wii Fit Plus from about a half hour to forty-five minutes.

So now only 13 pounds to go. Keep going, Sue! Do it!

197.4 It's All About The Pants!

You know what is really a part of this weight loss adventure as much as anything? Tight pants, or loose pants! As I lose more weight I am either wearing pants that are unfashionably loose, or, a little on the tight side. Tonight I am wearing a new pair of pants and yes, they are a little tight, but mostly feel that way because I have been wearing rather loose pants. So what does all this mean? It's working! Having a tighter pair to work toward fitting into is great motivation, and it feels great to be able to zip up a pair that would not zip when purchased.

I am working hard to not be complacent and to keep in the losing mode. My weight did pop up a little this morning, and because we are going out tonight, I will focus on staying very present about what I actually eat so that it will move back down. Oh, and today, are you ready, 14 1/2 minutes on the elliptical! Onward and downward!
