A New Me

Last Friday I took James to the Dr. because he had a cold, and the paranoid mother that I am wanted to make sure it wasn't RSV while going in to the weekend. Every time I go to his Dr, I weigh myself. For two reasons, 1. They have the same scale that BYUH has in their gym and it reminds me of the carefree, good ol' days in Hawaii, and because I still have about 15-20 lbs I want to loose and think I am loosing it and want to make sure. Well, this time, I was the same as last. I haven't lost a pound in over a month! Unbelievable! So, I decided at that moment, I would start a new me. I went home and prepared our meals for the week and went shopping. I didn't buy a think that wasn't on my list (cookies, ice cream, etc). So far, we have done really well this week. I have prepared each meal as planned, not eaten more than one portion size and had two vegetables with the meal. It has gone really well, and the best part about it is the dessert. James has been good enough to sit in his chair and talk to me while I make dinner so I can do the dishes while I am making dinner, so afterwards, the only dishes to wash are the dishes we ate with. What a treat!
Anyway, I wish I had a scale so I could weigh myself, but I do feel better physically and interestingly enough, mentally. It has been a good week.
