A New Day

As I have started to share this blog and the idea of weight loss with a few close friends, many say how they are proud that we have started this in December, even before the new years resolutions! As with all news years resolutions I have had in the past, they are never successful! Starting this diet.....no NOT DIET, Lifestyle change now is a christmas present to myself. I stepped on the scale this morning, yes I know the rule that you should only weigh once a week and I just weighed yesterday but it made me feel good! I weighed Thanksgiving Morning for the first time in almost 6 months and from then until today I am down 2 lbs......so, the motivation is still there!
Last night I decided to take Millie out for what would be my old 5 mile walk routine....it was cold, the wind was blowing and both Millie and I were miserable but we perservered and made it 4.2 miles before I couldn't drag Millie along any more....at least I got some upper body work out along with the walking!!!!!!
