Weigh In report

Just a quick (I hope) report on my weigh in this week.

This morning I weighed in at 207.2 which is a 1.4 loss.

I exercised (of some sort) 4 days this week. My workouts cannot even be termed "workouts" by anyone who is seriously into working out, but I will make a mark on the 'victory' side to just say that I did something 4 out of 7 days this week.

There were no major deviations from my plan this week - except that I have not had enough vegetables (fibre) in the last 2 days. If I had, my weight loss this week likely would have been more.....if you know what I mean.

All in all, a good week!

I do not have much time this morning, so I'll save you from my usual rambling pontifications.

Introducing Me

I am a 53 year old wife/mother/grandmother. I am 5'3" tall. On December 12, 2007 I hit bottom. In spite of my "efforts", I had gained 5 pounds in the previous month, bringing me up to my all time high of 253.0 lbs. I felt so hopeless.....and desperate. I had spent most of my life hating my body and trying almost every diet out there, only to gain back whatever I lost - and then some. I realized, at this low point, that I deserved a better life than the one I'd been giving myself. I made a decision....to begin the journey that would eventually take me to a place where I was happy with my body and where I did not feel like a failure in that respect. This blog is at least a part of my story....as I go along. I hope others will join me, will become my companions on this road to success. UPDATE.....As of April/11 I have gained back most of what I lost during the journey described above. So, I am beginning again. This is why my blog is entitled "A Failure's Jouney to Success".......I've started and 'failed' so many times and have often felt like a total failure because of it. BUT I have hope, still.....in spite of all the 'failures' that I WILL get to that elusive place where I can say I have 'succeeded'. In fact, I've proven to myself that I don't have to get to the goal to feel like a success - I only have to be taking consistent steps in that direction and pass a few milestones along the way.
