What a great week I have had! I am beginning Week 23 and all is well at the moment. I lost 4 pounds this past week and that just thrills me. I am up to 44 pounds.

The only thing I can say is that exercise played a big part in my week. I went to the gym more often this past week, and I also did some extensive cleaning on Saturday! (I had water heater problems) With all the stresses I have had to deal with over the last week, I still managed to keep the weight off. I got to start a new diet journal this week, this is my third one since I started with TOPS and this is a different journal and so far I am very impressed with it; it has only been a couple of days but believe it or not having the right journal makes a big difference in having a successful diet. I have come to depend on my journal. Even if I have bad eating days, I still write it in my journal. I am also noticing that I keep referring back to my older journal for some things, and I look at particular good eating days and repeat those when things are feeling a little tough for me.

Slowly, Slowly, I am learning, and I am thankful for that because I am making small changes that are sticking!

Well, until next week I hope to lose nothing but weight and gain nothing but knowledge!
