Small successes

I told you, don't be all disappointed if I forget I'm blogging for weeks, months at a time... That's just how I roll.  :D

OK, I am choosing to celebrate small successes, instead of focusing on defeats that seem so insurmountable, or large successes that I can never seem to achieve, I choose to focus on small successes.

Do you think if I keep repeating this, I'll believe it? 

Yeah, me neither, but it's worth a shot.

So, here goes, first small success.  Since November of last year - I've sort of been trying to lose weight.  Not religiously, not extreme - just trying to make smart decisions and lose a little weight.  I am down 7 pounds.  Better than that, since that seems like a VERY small success (especially given it has been almost a year) but I've lost 5 inches off my waist.  THAT is a pretty good success.

The downside - it appears that my, ahem, assets, have no thought of shrinking... My "hip" measurement has not changed by a cm.  Really?  My waist can shrink 5 INCHES, and my "hips" are the same stinkin' size.

*sigh*

Oh, whoops, small successes.  Right.

7 pounds.  Yay me. (Notice how I'm NOT whining, venting, complaining, or showing how I feel like I'm about to crumble?  No, not me, I'm celebrating success.  Damnit.)
