Monday, May 23

I'm happy to start another 'weigh-in' month of improving my health!  I really felt our shortened month of May would reap a gain for me as I just couldn't not remain consistant.  You'll have that.  I lost!  The amount I lost isn't as important as knowing I've managed a loss four months in a row.  That's progress for me since I spent the last two years gaining.  Our almost 7 year old great-niece told her Daddy that she wasn't afraid to try different tumbles  and leaps in her class because "I believe in myself and I just go for it!"  She learned that early in life and it made my heart smile.  Some of us learn later but at least we are still teachable!  Success to everyone this month.
