I made it into the center today and at official weigh-in was down a total of 6 pounds from where I started. Not bad, for a little over a week. I know most weeks won't have these sorts of losses, but it's good to start out on a positive note.
Today's reason is spurred by our recent snowfall, which has left me longing for sunshine and warmth. I'm not such a fan of all the bugs that go along with that, but I do like being able to go outside without being heavily bundled beforehand. Plus, this summer John will be walking, and I'm excited to spend long summer evenings playing with him.
For too long, though, summer has meant a lot of discomfort because of my weight. I have been self-conscious about large upper arms, or big thighs, or big butt. Clothes for summer are far more revealing of these kinds of flaws than winter clothes. This summer I won't be at my goal weight yet, but on the way, so I'm hoping I'll not only feel a bit more confident in short sleeves but also have more energy to enjoy summertime activities with my family.
