It's the Little Things!

So, I ended the year at 289 pounds.  I lose 2 more pounds I will have lost 40 pounds!!  God willing, I will never be in the 300's again!  YEAHHHHH!!!!  There are times that I get frustrated and times I have wanted to give up for a meal or for a day, but God is and has been everything I need.  Have some emotions that seem to be surfacing now tht I don't hide everything with food, but it hasn't been real bad.  I noticed that I have a harder time when I skip exercising.  Last week I had a medical procedure done and with the holidays I couldn't workout last week.  I was grumpy and miserable.  The one day I was able to walk/jog about a mile and my whole attitude was better!  I realized just how important exercise is - for my emotional health as well as physical! : )
There are things I'm noticing that I never expected when I began this journey.  Sure, I knew I'd lose weight, I just didn't expect to lose it the way I am.  I think most of my fat is in my stomach area so of course that seem s to go down the slowest.  But I'm pretty much losing everywhere.  My bra was the first thing to get too big.  The thing I didn't expect though is my shoes are now too big and my wedding rings keep falling off!  I have to laugh it off.  Praise God!
