As many of you know Friday was my first golf tournament.  It turned out great and so did the team photo!  It’s the first picture of myself in a long time that I’ve actually felt good about.  I was pleased to see that I am looking slimmer!  ;)  WW’s is starting to pay off!  Not only am I feeling better but I’m looking better too! 

I put the picture on my work stuff that was sitting out and over the weekend both Mom’s (Mom & Mother-In-Law) commented on my slimming form!  I was so excited that they noticed it too!  Even the husband made a comment about wrapping his arms around me for a hug & noticing that I felt smaller to him. 

It feels good to be moving in the right direction again.  I know that my weigh in last week was only down 0.2 lbs but I feel even more motivated now that people are taking notice! 

I did splurge a little over the weekend as the daughter had a belated b-day slumber party with a girlfriend.  So the girls picked the meals and we ended up having pizza Sat. night and McD’s Sunday - but even though I splurged a little I made small alterations to the meals that helped keep me OP. 

I exercised to earn more points, choose healthier menu items, and drank water instead of soda.  It felt good to make better decisions.  Though I did find myself getting mad at McD’s for the crap they put on my grilled classic chicken sandwich.  They loaded it with mayo (at least 3 tbsp) - that I scraped off.  I thought to myself it’s no wonder American’s are over weight.

I know it’s not McD’s fault - we are what we eat.  So I blocked out the big bad McD’s and focused on being a healthier me.  I was proud of myself for making better decisions, grossed out by the fat in the mayo, and feeling good about understanding it’s what I choose - not what they dictate! 

I am feeling so much better and positive about my choices to be a healthier me.  At first I really struggled with the food changes.  Not to say that there aren’t times when I’m tempted but I found overall that healthy foods sound better, taste better, and that the choices are becoming easier. 

P.S. The golf picture is not me.  I will some day put photo’s up of myself but I’m just not ready yet.
