Week 1: Day 6

This week's homework was to identify why we wanted to lose weight, what we wanted vs. what we expected, set mini-goals and identify our down falls.  It was every interesting to do.  We had to think about people, places and things that caused us to stubble.  Some of the things I have so far are going to my parents, going out to eat, and weighing in and not losing what I felt I did.  WELL, I am at Mom and Dad's this weekend helping Dad with the tiling of the wine cellar AND we went out for dinner last night. Oh and did I mention that I weigh for the first time on Tuesday night?
I had a fajita salad..probably not the best choice BUT it was a salad :) I also got up and rode 21 minutes on the bike before breakfast.  If I can keep myself on trail for the remainer of the weekend and not undo the hardwork that I have put in thus far.

I must be honest...I am a little leery of the weigh in Tuesday...In the past that has been one of my largest hurdles...My mind wants to tell me that I have failed and I should quit if I don't see the scale move...I really am not sure how to face that one yet...

I must say that I am quite surprised and proud of myself that I have done as well as I have this week.  Of course, this is only the first week but I EXPECT myself to do well taking one day at a time...rewarding myself when I do well and not beat myself up when I don't.

I have never before really had the outlook and support like I have this time...different...a little scary...but excited to see where this is going to take me.
