Oh -- today I felt like I'm getting back to normal. Wednesday I felt a yucky cold coming on and had NO energy! Today I did 3 miles of the 4 mile work out. It felt great. I little part of my mind thought about doing the entire 4 miles -- maybe next week! Weigh in is tomorrow. Good eating today and lots of water. Water and positive thoughts. Those are really 2 key things for me. I feel good this morning. No school for the kids so I slept in 30 minutes. Hopefully today I can get my laundry finished and the kitchen cleaned up -- correction -- counter cleaned off and clothes put away! Maybe even some Valentines made!

I just read Jo's blog, 282.5, she is inspiring. She talked about the weight loss journey she is on -- she's absolutely right. It is a journey. It's not a quick trip. This isn't going to happen fast. It's going to happen a step at a time, a pound at a time. If I keep plugging away, step by step, my journey with continue and I will reach my destination. I will! It is different this time. I have tried so many things so many times but his time is different. I don't know why but this time it is internal -- it's a life time.
