One Step at a Time...

After another week of hard training, the scale has been reluctant to budge. This morning I weighed in at 157.2 pounds. I am hoping to lose another 4 pounds by the end of the month (Since May 9th I am down 3.4 pounds). I think I will be able to do this because I am amping up my training and making smarter food choices. This weekend I am headed to a triathlon camp with my dad's group for the May long weekend and I will be able to get some miles under my belt. What is keeping me going is the quote, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step." This reminds me that every decision, even small ones, will affect my progress and results later down the road. Ohhhhh... yesterday I got new Asics! Thanks to my supporter- Gord's Running Store!!!
