Gradual Has Begun (I Think?)

I think it's happened. I think the rapid weight loss is
over and the gradual weight loss has begun. I got on the
scale this morning and I was still 205. I knew it was
going to happen eventually. Now I'm going to try to stop
weighing myself everyday and only do it once a week, but
that's probably not going to happen. Somehow, I need to
see those numbers go down to keep my motivation up, even
if it's only a fraction of a pound each day. I know I'm
making progress.

I've been so full of energy lately that my house is clean
and every piece of laundry for all 4 people is washed,
folded, and hung or put away. This is a first in my
history that I've been completely on top of housework to
the point of not having any. I'm proud of myself! Today,
Snookums, Kiki and I are going grocery shopping (Annie is
still in summer camp). This will be a challenge, because
I'm going to try to convince Snookums not get some of his
staples (cheese crackers, bagels and cream cheese, chips,
etc) and start losing weight with me. In the Navy he's
required to be a certain size and he's a bit over. If he
wants to make First Class, he'll have to meet
qualifications, or he'll be passed over. I don't want to
see that happen, so I'm going to make a very specific list
and not allow him to stray from it. He usually does what I
say and I've noticed over the past week, even though I
didn't change the way I cooked for him, he's been eating
less and better. I think I'm rubbing off on him, so this
may be a good time to bring it up.

I'm going to go workout before Snookums gets home. I want
to try to squeeze both in before he gets home, but I don't
know if I'll be able to if I don't get a move on. If not,
I'll just do one this evening, no big deal. Ciao for now.
