Skinny

So call me crazy, but it appears my new year's resolution is actually being completed. I have been steadily losing .5 of a pound each day for the last week and a half. That is a beautiful thing. At this rate I will be back down to my goal weight in no time!

Contributing factors to this weight loss are many. The biggest one is definately will power. I have finally snapped my mind into place and am refusing to screw myself over this time. Once you see the numbers dropping on the scale it's hard to start eating junk again.

I also have this new work out...thing. I take my dogs for a walk through the freezing cold snow covered woods each day for at least an hour, it's worth it because Michigan is beyond beautiful in the winter. Then when I get home I either do a half hour of tae-bo or a half hour of Wii Fit. Clearly the Tae-Bo is more physically demanding, but the Wii is more fun and therefore what I usually end up doing. That Hula Hoop game is so fun I can't stay away, so sue me.

In any case I hope to be 7 lbs lighter by the time I leave for the cruise to Aruba in the first week of February. That gives me about two weeks, and I think it's do-able. Some say that this is to quick to lose weight, but my body doesn't seem to mind so I'm not worried. Besides I'm doing this in a very healthy way, I'm not starving myself or eating only cottage cheese or working out for 18 hours a day. So I think it's all good.
