Today is a milestone for me. I have now lost over 50 pounds since starting here in late July. To celebrate, I will be heading to the jewelers this weekend to buy a new bracelet for my Pandora charms as the one I have now slides off my wrist! I'm turning that one into an anklet and buying a new one for my charms...hmmm maybe I'll even buy myself a new charm to celebrate!

    That's fantastic - well done. You should treat yourself. A little treat like that when you've done well is just all the more encouragement.

    So I got my new bracelet this weekend. It was so much fun. I decided to get a bead to symbolize my 50 lbs accomplishment and spent some time deciding. I chose the turtle and when my little one asked me why I chose the turtle I reminded him of the story of the Tortoise and the Hare and how the Hare takes off on the race fast and gets over-confident and gives up to take a nap and how the Tortoise keep plugging away, never giving up, one step at a time. I told him that Mommy trying to lose weight is like the Tortoise. Taking each day at a time and never giving up and I will win the race just like the Tortoise. Now everytime I look at my charm, it will continue to inspire me on my journey.
