In my dynaerobics class last night I lightly pulled a muscle in my back while doing the floor work; I have more than enough time until the next class Monday night to stretch it out and fix it!

Tonight is weigh in at WW, so keep your fingers crossed.  My weight this morning is the lightest during this specific weight loss journey on my home scales, so I'm hoping for at least some kind of loss.  I'm seriously happy with any loss -- as long as I have a loss every week no matter how small, I know I'm going in the right direction and I'll get to my goal.  I don't need big splashy losses each week, just a loss.

Wish me luck!

I'm hanging on to the little bit of weight I lost while we were gone, and I am thrilled!  The temptations are great since the kitchen is just down the hall from where I work, but I've been packing in the veggies and fruit when I've gotten hungry!  Yeah!

Has anyone read through The Joy Diet by Martha Beck?  She asks that you apply each of the actions once a day for a week before you go onto the next action.  The first action is to sit quietly for 15 minutes; I found this so hard to do, I actually set aside the book for nearly six months while I tried to do this every day.  Then I realized I do take 15 minutes for myself --- I meditate while I walk the dogs; I'm introspective when I'm driving; I have time while working where I can close my eyes and remove myself from the world.  So I'm moving on now to the second chapter, which is "Create and absorb one moment of truth each day."  From what I've skimmed, I know that if I'm able to really internalize these, I will be on the way to making the changes I need to with how I treat my body and my emotions.
