It’s a really great feeling to know that while most people are just beginning their New Years Resolution to lose weight, I’ve actually already started and am almost 25 lbs to the good.  I’ve been spending the crummy days at the Great Mall (which is actually a circular mall and great for walking track) walking.  I love walking through the food court (yes, I said THROUGH) because after I push myself through it and say to myself, “Look, that could be you sitting there eating and getting fatter, but you’re doing the RIGHT thing”, I round the corner and there is Victoria’s Secret with all that super sexy lingerie and I say “I can wear THAT pretty soon!”  It’s an awesome motivator!  It just occurred to me that soon I will be able to shop in any of the stores in the mall…not just Lane Bryant (which is saying a lot since I have only ever shopped at Walmart Women’s section and Lane Bryant). I did convince my husband to buy me a treadmill which will make it easier to walk while my daughter’s napping vs having to wait until she wakes up and hope it’s not too dark to walk.  Was really excited re treadmill, but when it finally arrived, morons broke it, so we had to return it and they don’t have any more.  UGH!  Oh well, guess we keep on the same road for now.  Weight 245.2 (lost 1.6 for a total of….  26.2!!)
