Labor Day
28 years ago today I gave birth to my 2nd son. The hospital staff cracked all kinds of jokes about going into labor on Labor Day.
It's a beautiful day out today and we have absolutely nothing planned. We're just going to sit back and enjoy the day. We did yard work on Saturday. When hubby is home he uses the riding mower and I use the push mower to cut around the trees and house. When he's gone I stll use the push mower cuz the rider scares me. It takes me abot 2 hours to cut the whole thing. Next time I'm going to wear my pedometer to see how many steps it takes. I didn't get to the gym yesterday like I had hoped. But I did take the dog for a walk. We were gone for almost an 1-1/2 hrs. Didn't even seem like it though.
Yesterday I commented on losing a total 10# and getting another star at WW. It has been a struggle to see any downward movement on the scale. My first 5# star was back in December '08 (I think) and ever since then I was just going through the motions, until this July. Something just clicked and I started following the plan, and what do ya know, I lost another 5#. The program works for me. I lost 25# in 2006, but gained it all lus more back because I let emotion get the best of me. I'll go through these phases and ups & downs, but I have to stay positive and never give up. I bought one of those WW orange fuzzy hunger doll magnets and have it on my fridge as a reminder t think before I eat.
