I have some new inspiration

I have a couple of weightloss heroes (sheroes really) that I would like to give some attention too. First is my cousin...well cousin in law. I haven't seen her in several months. We live in the same city, but life gets busy. Well I saw her at church yesterday (her daughters were in the Christmas program) and she has lots 40 lbs since this summer. I had heard from family that she had started hitting the gym. But when I saw her yesterday I just had to go on and go to her about how great she looked and asked what she was doing. She started walking this summer and decided when she lost X #of lbs she would treat herself with a gym membership. Well she did and now goes to the gym at least a couple of times a week.

The other is blogger friend Shannon. She has really stepped things up the holiday season and is seeing good consistent losses on the scale. She has the turtles to prove it ; ) Way to go Shannon.

I have been so wishy-washy about watching what I eat and exercising lately and it is catching up with me. I have been feeling so blah....so again..today is a new day.

Goals this week....not eating out at lunch, none, nada, zip, zlich.
Walking/working out at least 3 times this week.
Logging my food every day...either here or on a note pad...just somewhere.
No unplanned snacking, that means no nibbling here and there. Just 2 planned health snacks a day.
