Thank you UPS man

My regular UPS driver just dropped off a package and asked me if I'd been losing weight. Why yes, yes UPS man I have been! :) I like that guy

I'm also really liking my TheraShoes I purchased last week. I'm no longer sore like I was when first wearing them, but I can still feel them working. I'm not sure I should workout in them however. The off balance could be beneficial but I don't want to hurt myself either.

The Wii Active 30 Day Challenge workout last night was kick ass. I'm pretty sure I lunged, squatted and high kicked my derriere off. That's good, that huge thing needs to go. After that I was feeling quite pumped so did some basketball moves, more boxing and some dance moves. I think my total clock time was an hour & a half.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention - my dedication victory. Last night I was at my mom's for dinner. She made spaghetti. I didn't hide the fact that I wasn't going to eat the noodles. Usually I'm ashamed to admit I'm trying to lose weight so just eat smaller portions of whatever good & fattening thing she's made (she's a fantastic cook but doesn't pay attention to healthy ingredients). It was a little awkward denying the helping of noodles and just eating the meat sauce. I also don't think she believed in me, that I could shed this weight. I really don't blame her. I've been on/off diets so many times over the past 6 years. However this time is different. This time I feel confident. Totally aware of my surroundings, the choices I'm making and the progress I'm achieving. This time is also FUN. I'm having a great time during my workouts. I'm enjoying the food I'm eating. I feel satisfied, I have mastered my cravings.

Thanks for the boost of confidence today UPS man :)
