My 2013 goal is to get in better shape.

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me last week when I was very down. I don't think I could have gotten through without the encouragement. I think I have gotten the swing of this. I'm down three pounds this week. Yeah!

Week 2 sure made up for week 1. Whoo hoo!!! I am still doing the "eat more to weigh less" idea and it seems to be working for me. What I find interesting is that it has changed my outlook on my weight loss. Since I don't see a whole bunch of red on my stats, I am not beating myself up anymore and feel very positive at the end of the day. I added about 300 cals to my daily totals and while I am not eating all of them, trying to hit the magical number of 1200 stress each day is totally relieved and I am much more relaxed about what I am doing. This has changed my total outlook on things and has moved this to a lifestyle instead of a diet.
