Weekly Weigh- In: 0.4 Down

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”-Winston Churchill I didn't lose much this week. In fact, I was hoping for a pound. I seriously couldn't figure out why. I tracked my points, drank water...did it all (Or so I thought). I began to cry. I felt like such a failure. I had disappointed myself and I was feeling not so sexy. However, this is where a buddy comes in. My mom turned to me and said, "Stefanie, you LOST! Not GAINED!" For a moment I thought she was CRAZY. I didn't lose much. In fact, for me, it was disappointing. But then she reminded me, she was in the hospital this weekend because she was having chest pain. She told me that she doesn't want me going through that myself and even though it's only a 0.4 loss, it's still a loss. Does that make sense? I'm sure it does. Anyways, I was still stuck on what I did wrong this weekend. It occurred to me. I didn't move as much. That is why I did not lose as much as I thought I did. So my plan next week: MOVE, MOVE, MOVE! How am I gonna move? Well since I am not one for exercise, I plan to start walking my dog Chloe. It may not seem that BIG, but for me it is. I HATE sweating. Sweating totally grosses me out. Funny huh? See, it doesn't matter if you lose a little or a lot...what matters is that you lose not gain. In my meeting the leader said, "Kiss this past week goodbye!" and so we did...This is a whole new week for me.  Which means... A NEW beginning.
