Just an Author Trying to Get Healthy in a Fast Food World

Well, this week's weigh in was a bust. I didn't lost anything. But I knew that would be the case, because my whole body felt weighed down, like I was full of fluid. So I can only think the numbers on the scale weren't accurate.

Down 2 more pounds. - Go Me! -

It makes me WANT to see those numbers drop on the scale each week.
It makes me look forward to weigh in day. Strange, right?

So, I gave myself a modified goal. I decided that once I reach my total weight loss goal, I will reward myself with a new tattoo that I not only want, but will remind me every day to never give up on being healthy.
It's going to take me about a year, give or take a few months, to reach at my slow-and-steady-pace but it will be worth it.
And will give me plenty of time to design the tattoo and save up for it.
