This week has been the best yet of the Eating Well challenge. I have been consistently eating in moderation and consistently exercising.
Guess what consistency brings? Weight loss. 2 pounds down to 175. 20 pounds away from my goal!
Tonight I was doing some cross border shopping and eyeing all of the fashions I hope to purchase once I reach goal. For the time being, I am exercising control in the shopping area, partly due to budget and partly due to wanting to treat myself when I reach my goal.
One note about cross border shopping, and this only relates to the Walmart in Niagara Falls, NY and is not a statement regarding all of American culture...but, the cashiers are SLOW!! Oh my goodness, people in that store, both customers and employees would never keep up in the Canadian shopping culture. It has been a very interesting observation. By the way, I wasn't eyeing Walmart fashions, I was grocery shopping. I am more of a Black and White chain shopper. Of course, I realize things would feel differently in a larger US city, but things move slow as molasses over in Niagara Falls, NY!
I had a fantastic run last night, really pushing myself in terms of speed. I was soaked with sweat, as the humidity has set in where we live. I continue to run at dusk, right beside the water, which is so lovely. I feel so blessed to live close to this path and to have a body that can run.
I'm aiming for another fantastically, consistent week. I have some exciting, amazing news about someone in blog world, but I'm waiting for their announcement on their blog before I share.
Eating less, moving more, feeling happy,
Dawne

So glad you are doing well Dawne! I have been running too but finding myself starving lately from all the miles! And I am unhappy to admit that there is no doubt my weight is up...a lot I feel gross and really need to get a handle on what I am eating!

Awesome, Dawne! 20 pounds from goal? I LOVE the sound of that! You'll be there before the end of the year, Lord willing.
You'd be mad every day if you had to endure checking out at my Wal Mart. Look, I'm grateful for a deal, but I'm just saying!
Big news? Fun! =)
Good work! :)
Congratulations on the good eating! I've been praying for you as I pray for me.

Way to go Dawne!
I am not doing as great as you but I refuse to give up...that is a good thing I guess!
THANK YOU for inspiring me!!!!!
When we both reach our goal by the fall maybe a cross boarder shopping /first time meeting each other kind of reward would be awesome. What do you think?
Keep up the great work Dawne!
Awesomeness in motion!
Congrats on your weight loss Dawne! I find the same to be true of the cashiers at our Walmart. I actually hate shopping there but go sometimes because the prices are so good!
Hold off on clothes shopping Dawne because 20 pounds down from now is going to equal a lot smaller clothes!
Congratulations on getting back on track. You are on your way!
