We think we need to go all out 

all the time - every time

or ya might as well forgeddabout working out.

Well, maybe that "all-or-nothing" thinking is what helps us stay stuck!

Maybe, being successful is as simple 

as just making one or two good choices throughout the day.

These two pics are especially flattering!

March 2009

This was before I started. Before I knew any of you.

I started blogging 2 months later in May 2009.

Ya gotta love this! Up, Up and Away! 

(*ummph!*)

October 2009 - after 6 months on LoCarb...

August 2009 

Taking 5 minutes to go on a walk.

Right on the apartment grounds.

I worked about 70 hours a week,

and blogged about 100, 

and spent the rest of the time on the phone.

So a few little 5 minute work outs -

through out the day - really add up.

5+5+5+5  = not too shabby!

Maybe not if you are training for the Olympics.

But maybe if you are trying to build up your endurance.

To gradually be able to go around the block,

or up the stairs without having to stop to breathe.

Had already given away any and all Carbs

to keep myself from being tempted.

Lots of people can eat them.

I can not.  Not and lose weight, that is.

It's win-win! Being hungry sucks. 

And I'll never forget it!

The Easiest Thing In The World

And here is me this very day!

January 2011

It's hard to imagine it's been 6 months 

since August. I am still working every day

on my weight-loss goals.

Practicing for maintenance.

See how time flies?

6ix months of progress or

6 months of regret.

At least it was that way for me.

Hope your day is filled with "gems of opportunity-"

5 or 10 minutes a day - really can add up!

One good choice at a time.
