MONDAY WEIGH-IN
Just for fun (or not:grumble: ) I decided for a week to weigh every day. Wow was that scale (or was it me?) all over the place! I got to see just how up and down my weight does go! I have been close to 138 this week and have been over 142! Makes me a little less upset about only being down just .4 of a pound from last week. Today I am at 140.4 More and more I am convinced that pounds are NOT the best indicator of success.

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Did not count on Sunday - Think I was close
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? too busy to set them... Company all day and into the night
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Opted for the herbed tomato soup and skipped the hamburger and the ice cream for dessert
What would I have done differently? Could not have done it much differently, but again - earlier to bed
What is today's personal goals? Stay under calories, Weights work-out. DONE! Early to bed

Thanks! Out of the 5 miles I might have run 3/4 of a mile :laugh: Funny thing... I am hurting today. I don't think I am cut out for this running stuff. I can swim a mile but I can't run a mile. I never could even when I was young and healthy. I was feeling a little ambitious, the weather was perfect and I started back on my asthma medicine... :laugh: :laugh: I will keep to the elliptical, walking and swimming for now.

As always... thanks for your support :flowerforyou:

We are experiencing the rapid decline of my SIL due to cancer. Please be praying for our family! We also have 2 weddings and a wedding shower in the next 2 weeks. These next days are going to be a real ride! I am relying on God's promises. "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." Isaiah 40:31:heart:
