So very proud

I am so proud of my husband right now I could burst. If you have known me for long or read my blog I am usually complaining about the "old coot".

Not today. There are several reason that I am proud but I will tell y'all about only one for right now.

My husband has lost 25 pounds since the summertime. He weighs himself almost everyday and has noticed that he has been losing weight. When he started losing he started paying attention to his portions and exercise. It was very motivating for him!

I will confess I was a little worried when he first told me because I didn't think he had changed enough to justify 25 pounds. I wanted him to go to the doctor just to make sure, but without medical insurance that just is not feasible. He also started reading his prescriptions and noticed that a side effect of one, was weight gain. He asked the doctor to remove him from that and try something else. It worked.

So I would have to say that motivation is one of the best weight loss pills on the market. I know that living in our new neighborhood is going to be a big motivator also. We live so close to many activities. There is a huge park in our "hood". We will have access to full baseball and soccer fields, along with a couple basketball courts. I cannot wait to play soccer with my son. I will teach him everything I know..... What maybe I shouldn't do that!
