I think that last week's Sunday weight must have been a scale error! It does happen sometimes. Anyway, since I started the process of making a permanent lifestyle change two weeks ago, I have lost just under 3 pounds. Oh, I wish it was 6 by now, but I have been eating differently and exercising more.
Yesterday Molson and I walked up to the top of a steep hill--a 5 km walk. We did 3 walks last week and I'm aiming to up that this week. I also got out our 5 pound weights and did an arm workout yesterday.
If it wasn't for the fact that I'm writing here, I would probably throw in the towel at this point because it is discouraging to be losing so slowly, but I am committed.
This morning I read about an Olympic gold medallist, Zatopec (1952), who said that he had trained for 14 years for the games. Dr. Richard L. Ganz writes, in his book, The Secret of Self Control: No matter how much it hurt, he had determined to keep at it until he achieved his goal. His gold medals were merely the result of countless steps. "Countless steps;" those words resonate. Each choice is a step in one direction or the other.

Belinda, 3 pounds is a significant amount of fat. Remember what 3 pounds of butter looks like?.. Well, that's what's not slathered on your liver and your hips anymore after these two weeks. One and a half pounds a week is a perfect rate. You don't want to lose it too fast. Slow and steady wins the race, remember?
Be faithful in the little things and he will give you much... "Suddenly"!
