Day 5

Here we are Day FIVE. No exercise today; however, there is good news! Today, today, today, I managed to stay 100% on the Weight Watchers Points Plus program. Yahoo! All foods/beverages consumed were weighed, measured and accounted for on this first day of the work week.

Small steps today toward those glacier steps.

Today is our oldest son's 25th birthday. Jim and I were so totally enthralled with our little guy that Friday night. We just couldn't stop staring at him and marveling at his ten fingers and ten toes. Not to mention that we found him to be the most beautiful, perfect creature ever brought into this world (followed a few years later by a brother who was the only living organism to tie Carl for this title).

One of the gym trainers called today to set up my month's worth of training appointments. I feel much more comfortable with Loren. He is younger than CJ and seems more willing to accept my 'I want to use Weight Watchers" and "I have two goals - lose 40 pounds before August and be able to breathe while I walk".  Carl added the sage advice tonight not to whine and not to incessantly say, "I can't do this." I will endeavor to make Jim, Carl, Lee and Dale proud and not be the whiner I am known to be.
