Baby steps!

At the end of week 5 and I've lost 15 pounds. I wish it was falling off faster, but I believe this is a healthy rate. I don't feel like I'm starving or being harmful to my body. So over all, I'm excited. I have gone five weeks of eating better and two months without soda! Today in church I was asked: "Are you losing weight?" That is the best feeling since my darling husband says he can't tell... I guess he sees me everyday so it is harder for him to tell. As we ate dinner tonight he made a comment  about how he needed to start doing something since I was losing so much weight! Needless to say, I'm feeling good. 

Saw this on a friend's facebook! Too cute! 

Once again, I have not met my personal challenge to start getting physical. Although, I have been thinking a lot about it. But I have been seeking some encouragement. I found a link on facebook to a site http://www.bodyrock.tv/. I've been watching the videos and trying to get the courage to try them out. The girls are very fit and a little bit frightening. Although they do offer variations in their daily challenges for beginners. Check it out.
