Still motivated, but I have been hit this week with more than my share of obstacles. I always bring myself back to reality and remind myself, "I could do this, I could do this, I will do this."

Today, I made my Choco Chip Pudding in advance. Froze it, saved a dairy and added a small dolop of fat free whipped topping. It was good. Thought I's share.

I am trying to lose this weight to be healthy and to avoid a rediagnosis of breast cancer. I have been twelve years cancer free. I am so outraged over the gov't panel's new outline for testing for breast cancer. I was diagnosed at age 40 with Stage 2 breast cancer. I decided to have this routine exam and it was a God send that it was found in time. After a lumpectomy, lymphoidectomy, chemotherapy and radiation and the after effects, I am alive and able to enjoy life. Why do they want to stop early detection? It's cost? I guess it's cheaper to diagnose someone with breast cancer at a Stage that is too late for a cure. It saddens me and makes my cry for those who will not be diagnosed in time. I have five sisters and thanks be to God, to date none of them have developed this condition. I got it. Why, who knows. I had the genetic testing done, BRCA, and found I did not have the gene for breast cancer. Why stop early detection? It's shameless. Sorry for venting.

I just bought today from the Sports Authority a pair of socks that have a little more cushion on the heel for people with the problem, like myself. They did give me a little more support. In addition, they have the insoles for the sneakers at a good price. I paid 19.99! Just thought I'd share.

Lost 2.6 pounds this week. Is this good? Some one please tell me. I keep reading how so many of you lost more than that in the first week. I am 100% NS. Why is this so slow for me? I am not expecting to lose a tremendous amount in one week, but I a litte more than 3 lbs. I am exercising and doing things right. The first week I lost 3 lbs. When I read on this site that people lose 5 lbs and above, I get a little frustrated. Don't get me wrong I feel the difference in my waist, but why is it so darn slow..........

Tomorrow is my second weigh in. I have not stepped on the scale since my first weigh in 11/07/09. I lost 3 lbs the first week. It has not been easy fighting the temptation to get on the scale. I can't wait. I've been 100% NS and feel the difference. I hope I'm not disappointed.

Yeah for me! Did 1 hr of Wii and had fun. Unlocked Super Hula Hoops that was fun, two yoga poses and two strength training items. Also did the 844 steps! I'm so proud of me today!

On my way to exercise using my Wii. I am determined to unlock a new exercise routine! Will let ya'll now later if I did!

Horray for you! Last year my husband bought me my first bike too and I'm loving it! You are not alone. I, too, was not taught how to ride a bike. But, here I am today and loving the wind in my face!! Enjoy the ride!

OMG! THE CHOCOLATEY NOUGAT BAR WITH PEANUTS AND CARAMEL ARE OUTRAGEOUS!!!! THIS CANNOT BE TRUE THAT I COULD EAT THIS AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!YIPPIE!!

Today, despite my foot problems, I was able to exercise with my Wii for 45 mins! Had a lot of fun! My little doggie, Kenanvilla de La Milagrosa Romero Suazo, also gets her exercise in too. Everytime I raise my arms she throws her little ball up in the air to catch it. It's a hoot!
