I was very very good monday-friday of last week with my workouts (made it to the gym every day) and my eating/journaling. However, I pretty much took the weekend off. I didn't really go ... http://ready4change.buddyslim.com/2008/11/25/2-downyahoo/ Ugh...I truly hadn't stepped on a scale since the last time I went to the doctor a few months ago.  At that time I was 160 so when I signed up for buddyslim that is the weight I entered.  So the gym where I work out is having a "maintain ... http://ready4change.buddyslim.com/2008/11/20/two-steps-forwardone-step-back/ Ok, so I've been thinking about all the 'little' things that I'm looking forward to noticing as I start shedding off this weight.  I decided to write a list.  Maybe some of you can relate to some of them or maybe it will help you to stop and think about ... http://ready4change.buddyslim.com/2008/11/20/the-little-things/
