thinking

The last few days I have been thinking about some things...

I've been thinking about challenge support and how I will accept it when I need it. Tim and Peter will probably be my biggest gift and biggest challenge in this department. Currently I am thinking about how to hear that which makes me uncomfortable...

One of the things I am undecided about (again) is setting another goal when I reach my next one, 6 lbs away. P and T have both argued quite intensely in favour of a set goal. Yet I feel pretty strongly that I will be better finding the place where my weight settles, once I have completed the lifestyle changes and food adjustments. That feels right, but I will definitely keep checking in to see if this is leaving a door open that I intend and/or need to close.

I don't think that I mentioned that the nurse at the clinic does not weigh us every week. We were weighed when we started, but if we want to get weighed every week, we need to come early enough to get it done before class starts. I think I will continue to weigh myself at the Y on Mon mornings and not bother at the clinic. I like that the sole focus is not weight loss, but health. Of course, I know I will be healthier when I lose weight!

Roo, I wanted to let you know that I had my first person who doesn't know what changes I am making comment about how I look. She did ask what I am doing and when I said that I am trying to eat to live, considering my metabolism, she walked away, saying that she didn't have that figured out!

I am thankful for this opportunity. I am grateful for my family, honesty, wisdom and adventure. I am blessed, elly
