FIRST DAY OF WEIGHING IN

I probably should not expect too much yet, right? I mean, I had a slow start. It has been a week, but not a full week of exercise and eating perfectly at the beginning. But still, it has been an official week since I have started.

This morning I weighed in with a 3.8 pound loss. Not too bad. 36.2 pounds to go before Christmas. That is still doable. Christmas is what? Just shy of 12 weeks away? So, if I lose 3.8 pounds every week up until Christmas, I can easily make the goal. At my age, with the metabolism of molasses, I am really fortunate I am able to lose that much.

My friend said she would buy my lunch if I lost 8 pounds total by next Tuesday. That is nice of my friend to be extra supportive! Or maybe she knows she is safe because the likelihood of that happening is slim! haha!  :D

Thanks again, friends, for your support and to those of you who have joined in! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! haha!  It's true. :D  [that many exclamation points and I'm using a megaphone, right? ;) ]
