Well, Mom and I weighed in again this morning, and we've lost another 2 pounds, combined.  That brings our total weight loss up to a combined total of 22 pounds, and we're both at more than 10 pounds!  Not too bad.  We've both been feeling a little bit of disappointment lately, with seeing such small numbers each week since the first week.  I reminded Mom though, that we're not working out at anywhere near the level of the contestants on the show are, so we can't expect to see numbers like they do each week!  It would be unreasonable to expect that of ourselves, and we would be setting ourselves up for failure.  We have to keep looking at the positives.

 

We've lost a combined total of 22 pounds.  We've both lost more than 10 pounds...which is more than an average of 2.5 pounds a week.  Not too shabby.  We're eating better.  We're learning good habits.  We're working out.  We're both getting stronger and gaining endurance in our workouts.  We're fitting into our clothes better.  These are all good things, and there is no reason whatsoever that we should feel bad about our progress!

 

Now if we can only both believe that.  It's easier to say it than it is to really, truly feel that way deep down.  But we're working on it.

 

More soon.
