No Loss

I weighed this morning.

Nothing lost.

Not one single pound.

Am I upset?

You bet I certainly am not!!

NO! It didn't bother me one single bit!

I have been getting up for 7 days now and exercising. I can make it through the session without stopping. I am eating better. I am going to bed earlier. I am getting things done around the house. I feel better. I would say all of those things make up for not having a change on the scale.

It does tell me I still need to work on what I am eating. Pay more attention to portion sizes and make better choices. But I feel great! No one can tell me that is not progress!

Now to say I am making through the entire workout session without stopping to some would not be entirely true. I take about three breathers. I still can not do some of the aerobic moves without terrible pain in my legs and feet. But even Jillian says to catch your breath for no more than five seconds. That is what I am doing. I still can not keep up with those girls on each move, but I am doing the move at my own speed and I am doing it correctly. And I noticed this morning I did not have to take a breather during the push ups. That is progress!

I may not loose 20 pounds in 30 days like it says on the cover of the DVD and that's OK. I am up and moving. I did not get in this condition over night, and there is no way I will get thinner and in better shape over night either. But what I will get is satisfaction that I am accomplishing something. My body is telling me I am.

And to top it all off - just before Frank went to sleep last night, he told me he was proud of what I had accomplished this last week! I'll take that over loosing a pound any day!
