Erin's marathon

Yay!!  Finally today the scale showed some weight loss!  For a week and a half I have held steady and it was really pissing me off.  Why today did it show that I've lost 4 pounds?  I don't care why; I'll take it!!!  I really feel like I can do this, this time.  I think the big difference is that I'm not dieting UNTIL I reach a certain point.  This is a life change.  I'm eating better forever.  I'm exercising forever.  There's no reason to blow off the diet because I ate a cookie, because, this isn't a diet.  A cookie gets logged into my food log and that is that.  It's kind of relieving.  The stress is much less when I don't agonize over a cookie, but I just plug away.  Everyday is a new day and this marathon is just getting started!!  Here's to all of you out there in fitclick cyberspace; have a great day!!
