I’ve been writing this blog since we moved into the RV in January 2009 and I need some inspiration so I’m going to try something new! I will still tell about all the exciting things we are seeing and the fun stuff I think of along the way. I’m just going to add a bit of my personal journey along the way!
As most of you know Paul and I have reduced our size by a considerable amount in the past 8 months and I’m very proud of us as well as very nervous that I will lose the momentum, so you get to be my motivation! I’m going to share the journey once in awhile! Hopefully It isn’t boring, or soapboxy!
Wouldn’t it be nice if this was how it worked!
In December Paul was told he was becoming diabetic and decided that wasn’t where he wanted to go! He told the Dr. that he was going to work on it and began the learning faze of why eating the way he was was not the right direction. Me, I had been wanting the motivation to do something for a long time and knew what needed to be done, I was just lazy! In May of last year I had decided I had to do something and actually had lost 5 lbs by September and in December I had not gained it back! That is success in and of itself but really 5 lbs in 6 months!
When Paul began his journey after Christmas I told him about an App that I had played with, Loseit! and that was his lightbulb! He loves things to be concrete and technology is perfect for him. He loves this thing and uses it to its fullest.
So, we have an App, and we have motivation! Paul has helped me because I could not have done it without him!
85 lbs lighter

I want to lose another 3-4 lbs depending on how I stand on the scale and Paul is going for another 20 lbs! The hard part is infront of me, I’ve lost lbs many times over the years and have always found it and usually a few more! This time feels different and Paul is determined so I don’t think he will ever let me get away with what we did in the past!
In the coming weeks I will share some of things we do different and some of the indulgences and some of what I call Ah Ha moments!
Now off to consume another head of celery!
