I love that saying "a watched pot never boils". And that is so true for trying to lose this darn weight! Certainly I didn't become overweight overnight, and so losing it will also be the same.
I have a bad habit of weighing myself twice daily..mainly so I can beat myself up, or justify a splurge. Funny, I weighed myself all the way to 100lbs overweight!
So, Andrea W made me promise that I wouldn't weigh myself until the end of the health challenge she and I are doing. Well, that was just asking too much, so I struck a deal to only do it weekly.
So, I have no clue if I am making progress this week, but I need to have faith in the process. I really AM eating fruit (thats amazing), and drinking the dreaded water (and am even getting used to it) And not to mention the challenge to read my scriptures daily. I am super excited to finally read my Book of Mormon in one big chunk, and will make it almost all the way through!
And truly, I am so thankful for the bikers on Spanish trail, and all of my athletic friends! What a wonderful influence and inspiration in my life, and I am CERTAIN that is one of the reasons I needed to move here!

But an ignored pot boils over!! haha.
Hey, I think once a week is perfect! You know if you don't weight yourself enough, you won't be able to keep yourself in check.
I am having my own issues over here. I just take it day by day and tell myself that I lost THIRTY SEVEN pounds after having Raiden!! I need to be proud of myself for that and stop being so negative. I know that when I get better I can do it again. HOWEVER, I probably wouldn't have gained this weight back in the first place if I had weighed myself more often! I just kinda stopped weighing myself right around Christmas season. And, well, yeah....
So glad the water isn't tasting as bad! You are doing awesome Kellie. Keep it up! Whatever the scale says, you are learning to be healthier not just in the food but the sleep and exercise and scripture study too. I'm sure the scale with recognize all that too. Maybe not the first week but it will! So glad to have you as my friend. I had so much fun at the pool yesterday!
