It's noon on Thursday and I had a great nsv (non-scale victory) today. The scale has stayed the same over the last month or so, but today I tried on a pair of pants that have been too tight in the thighs. I only tried them on because I didn't want to wear my baggy jeans and I it was too cold this morning to wear my capri pants. Surprise, surprise, they fit! And they didn't fit two weeks ago, so I've lost inches even though I haven't lost pounds. I am so happy. This is exactly what I needed to help motivate me to the next step.

Yesterday I did meet my two goals

Exercise: about 45 min dog walks, 45 min tv dance workout. It was raining most of the day, so this was pretty good.

Dinner: did eat my goal portion, but didn't do so well on eating the rest of the day. Oh well, at least I did a few things right.

Today I'm keeping the same goals. One great thing I learned from my fitness coach is if you don't meet a goal, don't try to overdo things to catch up. Just keep it the same until you do succeed (or figure out why it's not working).

I'm still smiling about the black pants. They were even a bit baggy when we got home.
