This is such great news! I am happy with this small accomplishment – only 3 more inches to go.
We know that making physical changes is a life long commitment to being healthy and fit. Results are not only measured by the scale reading but how we feel and how our clothes fit. This is what I have noticed first. My pants are falling down to my hips.
The fitbit has been key to my success. I have consistently “stepped” over 5,000 times 5 times a week, whatever it takes to get them done.
For example, last night I came home from an art gallery reception at 9:35 at night. It could’ve been so easy to miss my daily goal. Maybe the old me would have but the not the new me. I had only walked 3,100 steps for the day and so I started moving and ended with 6,023 steps for the day.
The key to my 2″ loss is “persistence pays off”. I do what it takes to keep moving.
Check out these before and after photos.

As to my two February goals, I was only half succeeded.
-1- no chocolate – I resisted this craving for the month. Though there wasn’t a day that went by without dreaming of that gooey goodness. Must say already in March, I am making up for lost chocolate but since I don’t keep any in the house it takes an effort to indulge.
-2- drink water – a total failure. I finally measured the glass bottle I use in the house and discovered that it only holds 5 cups so drinking one bottle a day doesn’t even meet the suggested quota. Unfortunately, I did’t even drink this one bottle each day. This is a dilemma because I often feel thirsty which should inspire me to drink a water.
So for March I will continue with my steps and again work on drinking water.
