20 lbs gone!

This morning I got my 10% award at Weight Watchers after losing 20 lbs. Some weeks I think there is no rhyme or reason to my success as I know I’ve strayed (way off) from the plan many times.

However

I must be doing something right. Something must be working. The hurdles that seem to constantly be in my path are getting smaller and easier to hop over.

I joined Curves over a year ago, mostly for convenience. The workout is hardly challenging, but the 30 minutes fits into MY schedule and I am not limited to class times. Especially when my evenings are spent either at the university or keeping up with my studies (and life!). It doesn’t burn calories to read a chapter or two, but it still needs to get done.

Luckily, I stumbled upon an early Saturday morning “Boot Camp” that is on hiatus until late June. I can’t wait to get back to it. I have much more road ahead on my weight loss journey and running that mile without stopping can only get me there that much faster.

Last night was yet another adventure in babysitting for Mister H! I have more fun playing with him now that he interacts more and even has started saying my name—AunTEE! I must say that everybody in the family laughed at and mocked my attempts to encourage him to “SAY AUNTIE!” That is, until it worked. Hey, it only took 3 months! Now what do I hear? (Say Grama LOL) The little dude looks at me, smiles and holds his arms out to me, and says AunTEE!

Persistence pays off! I am happy for many things today. I have not only lost 20 lbs and fit into the smaller jeans in the back of my closet…

He said AunTEE!!

Girl, you are nothing if not tenacious! CONGRATULATIONS on the 20 pounds gone, baby, GONE; on the nephew learning your name ahead of the jealous pack; and on your stellar grades. As a certain 11 y.o. would say, "YOU ROCK OUT LOUD!" :-)
