Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never

This morning I stepped on the scale for my weekly weigh in and heavens to murgatroyd what is that?? I’ve officially lost over 10 lbs!!!

(Pause for gasps of disbelief and skepticism.)

Now I realize that it’s been about a month since I started my new healthy lifestyle. (I don’t like to call it a 'diet' cause it sounds to fad-y and transitory. Rather, 'lifestyle' forces the change to become permanent and eventually so ingrained that it comes as easily as breathing. Hopefully.) But, give me some credit for Christmas and New Years and all that holiday bullshit in there that tried (and slightly succeeded) in throwing me off course. But despite it all I’m still 10 pounds lighter than I was a month ago and I’m feeling fabulous. Extra energy, more confidence, better sleep.

Honestly, I don’t know why I didn’t do this earlier.

(Ok, I lied. I do know. It’s because I’m lazy and opposed to change. But I’m working on it.)

So here it is…me ten pounds less.

(And I realize that there’s not exactly a “before” picture to contrast it against but trust me…that’s for the best. For all of us.)

Any of you guys doing little things to stay/get healthy this new year? If so, what do you try to do to stay healthy? What motivates you?
