TOPS tonight

I have done well the last few days. I finally got the stationary bike home. I haven’t had much time to get on it, but have done a few minutes here and there. Because I am endeavoring to make this a life long change, I figure every little bit helps. I have also been doing short walks at work, taking the stairs and doing leg lifts under my desk. I guess it all adds up.
I will be going to TOPS tonight for my first follow-up weigh in. Keep your fingers crossed! It’s a little scary. I am trying to convince myself that even if I have not lost any weight that I will not get discouraged and give up. It’s going to be different this time! The emphasis is on being more healthy – not only weight loss. I have to be doing my insides more good. Eventually the outside will follow suit. Right?
One of the strategies I have been using is that every morning when I’m doing my hair and make-up I have a poster board in front of me with inspiring pictures of things like a hammock, a beach, a sun dress, new down hill skis – things I would like to wear and see, and places I would like to go, but would like to feel more energetic and, lets face it – thinner – when I get there! For me, this is a great tool! The poster board pictures keep my goals in my mind all day long and I am a firm believer in visualization!
So – wish me luck at my weigh in tonight! Alice =-)
