Strive to be the Stream

This week marked a milestone. Not in pounds, but in persistence.
I started Weight Watchers 6 months or 24 weeks ago.

This is the first time in my adult life that I have really stuck-it-out on a weight loss plan. I guess that's probably why it's working this time!

This is the first time I have been to all but 2 meetings, tracked my food, drank my water, made exercise a priority, and make good food choices the majority of the time.

During this process a quote that I have heard many times has become my very favorite:

"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins--not through strength but by perseverance."

-- H. Jackson Brown

I just have to strive to keep being the stream...and I'll reach my goal.

Weight in Report:
Loss this week: -1.2 lbs
Total Lost: -89.2 lbs

# left to 100 lbs: 10.8 lbs
I missed the 90 lb star by less than a pound --- hopefully next week!
