So over at Eclipsed, Kris asks every week if we have had a non scale victory (NSV). If you look back, I have been having some rough weeks. But I am sticking with it and still trying to actively reduce my portion sizes and put some more movement into my day. I think this week has been an improvement and I am feeling good about it even if it isn't going as fast or easy as I would like. Because over all health is the ultimate goal, with the weightloss being the perk. So, as long as I am changing habits, I am good.
I have chosen fruit this week, instead of cookies. I have also had cookies, but not the whole batch. I have gone up and down the stairs to do laundry instead of asking kids or husband to haul it for me. I have parked in the back of lots and walked to the store (my kids hate that). And I am working in more veggies.
I am pressing on. And that is victory.
Deanna I so needed your post this week! Its been a rough one here but you reminded me that its ok as long as I just keep going!!

I can *so* relate to what a victory it can be to go up or down the stairs for something yourself, rather than asking the husband or, more likely in my case, the kids to do it for you.
