Starting Week 47 with Nutrisystem ~ Staying Motivated

Don't you love reading inspirational quotes? This one reminds me of my weight-loss journey lately. Early on it frustrated me when the scale didn't move much, but now I look at it as a challenge. Well, most days anyway. ☺ 

As much as I will celebrate reaching my 50-lb. goal, weight loss is more about becoming healthier and happier, rather than a number on a scale. 

It may feel like a long road ahead, but it's never too late to take a different route. ~

Are you thinking of starting a weight loss journey, but afraid of failing or think your goal is out of reach? That's how I felt a year ago and this is the one that helped motivate me to finally take that first step. ~

Trust me, if I can do it at 56 with a histamine intolerance and a food addiction, you can too! Forty-six weeks of straight losses later, I'm still taking those baby steps toward my goal.☺ To help keep myself motivated these days, I often refer to my weekly journal entries to remind myself of how far I've come and the mistakes I don't want to repeat, and I read The Leaf daily for helpful tips and low-cal recipes to try. 

ICYMI, that's where I found this recipe for Easy Cheesy Spinach Cups...oh my YUM!

I lost .2 lbs. this week and am just 6 lbs. away from saying "hello maintenance"! ☺
