Being the Boss

I’m continuing to stick with my changes: smaller portions, increased activity, very limited sweets.  It’s a hard battle, as we all know, but it’s working little by little.  I am down 1.1 pounds this week.

I do feel like I should see bigger results.  We’ve all been there, haven’t we!?!  And, we all know that the last few pounds are always the hardest.  I need to remember that I started with only 7 pounds to lose, so I probably won’t see those amazing results you get when you first start losing weight. 

So worth it!

And, of course, it’s easy to get discouraged and give up, but I’ve done it before and I can do it again!  Kind of like climbing a mountain…it’s all up hill and a whole lot of work, but slow and steady will get you to the top for the amazing view.  In this case, the amazing view is me 7 pounds lighter! 

(Okay…so that analogy was a bit of a stretch, but I’m still on a high from my amazing hike this past week.  It was SOOOOO hard, but so INCREDIBLE.  Read about it in my other blog “The Chronicles of Betsy” (www.betsyinkorea.blogspot.com) )

My Own Boss

Victory at the Top!

I’m the boss of me

No one else can be!

I’m working it out

Won’t scream and shout.

Pushing on through

Till I lose a few.

Small changes I’ll make,

My resolve will not break.

Me giving up – NO WAY!

And that’s all there is to say.

Simply amazing!
