Slow and Steady

Ok, so all told I'm only down 7 pounds total from when my journey started.  It has taken quite a bit for me to focus on the weightloss, but the challenge has been a great motivator.  In just the last few weeks I feel like so many things are coming together.  My husband and I are talking a lot more and have a marriage retreat planned.  I'm getting up early to get to work on time so that I can pick up my kids when they get off school.  For once, my kids and I are getting into a solid routine that includes chores for them and lots of help for me.  I'm loving it.  Things continue to get better and I am so excited about the future.

Keep it up

The challenge is going great.  We have 12 participants which means the pot is at $600.  I'm so excited.  I've lost 4 pounds so far this week and I'm super motivated to keep it up.  The best part about all of this has been how encouraging everyone is.  We posted horribly embarrassing photos of ourselves, but we praise each other's accomplishments and success throughout the journey.  I'm excited to see what will come!!!
