Simply put

I ran across...whoa wait a minute. I never run. I CAME across a pin this morning on pinterest that read "19 simple ways to lose 20 pounds." Like an idiot I clicked the link. Do you want to know what I learned by clicking that link? I learned that in order to lose weight, you need to move more. That was ONE way. Do you think I could read the rest of the article? No. No I could not because it was plastered with ads, and other nonsense that would take you away from the article making it impossible to find out the other 18 "simple " secrets. And I figured out why! Because THEY DON'T EXIST!!!! If losing weight was as easy as walking a few extra steps across a parking lot, or using a push behind mower vs a riding lawnmower, I'd freaking be on the cover of Glamour magazine. It's not easy, or simple. I'll admit this week I've had thoughts creep into my head about quitting #myforeverjourney. But then oddly enough, do you know what comes to mind? Piano lessons, and my first round of weight watchers, that's what! And to this day, I regret quitting piano, and regret that I stopped going to the WW meetings once I hit lifetime 7 ½ years ago, so I kinda have an in, knowing what it feels like to be a failure quitter. giver upper... and I don't like it. So, when I think this journey is a total waste and all is lost, I think of my total WAIST, and ALL I've lost. Slow and steady wins the race. It's as SIMPLE as that! 

Weighing in @ week 5: -2.2
Total loss to date: -18.0
