I have noticed some small things that have changed about me already....I know that I have only lost 5 pounds but it feels pretty awesome...

Today I walked my sister and my nephews to their car...normally I would have just gotten into mine and kept moving....MORE STEPS!!!

My husband asked me to get him something from upstairs while he was on dialysis and I ran up to get it...normally I would have text my son and asked him to bring it down....MORE STEPS!!!

I haven't taken the elevator in 12 days!! Normally I would walk right past the steps to the elevator to go up one flight....LOTS MORE STEPS!!!

I am LOOKING for good food alternatives on menus when we go out to eat...normally I wouldn't look and then I would HATE myself when I got home and I would say to myself " I have to do something about my weight...starting tomorrow".....

I am THINKING before I eat something...If there is something with more calories than I am willing to spend on it I simply don't eat it....normally I would have eaten it and not even thought of it....

I am putting on my fitbit zip every day and I am getting excited to check and see how many steps/miles/calories I have done!!

I have more energy...I am happier....I feel more in control.....I don't LOOK different...I don't feel that much different physically....I just feel a little more hopeful....a little more in control....

This can't all be from 5 pounds...but it CAN all be from my determination....it has to be from my choices and the fact that I am making better choices (not perfect ones...just better ones).....

THANK YOU SPARK FOR ONCE AGAIN GETTING ME MOTIVATED!!!
