Did the scale make me cry out of happiness or sadness?

Well, after all this, what did the scale tell me this morning? It loved me!!!! I lost 4.6 pounds!!!! My new weight today is 190.4....my BMI? ready...32.7! I dropped it by 1.1 points!!


There you have it readers....the healthy eating plan worked and I was disciplined, especially during Super Bowl...well... that was until I had those bloody meatballs...*head bowed


So, the question now is..though I didnt lose the complete 5 pounds...do I still get the predicure?.....if I had to break the 5 pound goal per each toe...that was half a pound each...and I lost 4.6...let me say it again.....4.......point.....6...*aaahhhh makes me smile.....I missed goal by half a pound...so that would mean that one of the toes doesn't get painted??? hmmm...could be my pinky toe...no one ever really notices it...no...no....I said the goal was 5 pounds and I didn't reach it, so I have to lose the half pound to get the pedicure...and I better lose at least a half a pound by next week.


Now this week's challenge? I was watching an episode of Dr. Oz and he constantly is promoting 10,000 steps a day, so this week I am taking on the challenge of completing 10,000 a day. I have a new pedometer and I'm going to put it to the test.
We'll see how I do.
Until next week my readers....
Remember to continue to:
Be Inspired, Be Inspiring
