Doing A Happy Dance after my WI

I am almost to the point of being giddy. It is exactly what I needed. A great weigh in after a week of focus and healthy eating. I was down 2 pounds today. Wow! I haven’t had that big of loss in months. I have found the closer that I get to my personal goal weight the harder it is to get the weight off. I still want to lose about 10 more pounds. I have had several of you comment that I don’t need to lose any more weight. Unfortunately since I am soooo short (don’t even break 5 feet) I cannot carry that much weight. I would have loved to be a few inches taller but that didn’t happen. So I am still working hard. I am really not sure where I will stop. I know that my body will let me know. It has a funny way of doing that.
The girls & I got some exercise in today swimming. I even did some jogging in the deep end of the pool. Wow that is a workout but great on the joints.
I read a great article today about losing 10% of your weight. I was thinking back to when I first started Weight Watchers. They suggest your first big goal to be losing 10% of your starting weight. I can remember feeling so much better when I hit that goal. It is amazing what that loss can do to your health.
I thought I would share this great article.

I am really going to have to work hard this weekend with my eating. We have one of the busiest weekends that I can remember in a long time. We have FOUR special events that include food. :::sigh::: At least three of them, I am taking food to. I am trying a new creation. If it turns out well, I will get the recipe posted. Kind of brave of me making something for the first time to take to a carry-in. Or maybe should I say stupid. I guess I will find out.
I hope that everyone has a great weekend. Remember to count those points. Stop when you are satisfied. Only eat when you are really hungry.
Happy & Healthy Eating,
Kristen
