Slowly slowly slowly

it's coming off. Ounces a day. I feel much better than I have in a long time in terms of stamina and strength. My allergies keep me from riding my bike or walking the dogs, but I hope to get that under control soon. Funny, I first publicized my weight loss goals here and then I immediately gained 11lbs. Then up and down for two months. It was depressing.
I joined SparkPeople 25 days ago and I have been pretty diligent in my efforts to get rid of this weight. My main motivation is being sick of being fat. My next one is to be able to run after my grandson Brian

My next motivation is I walk everyday at the gym and think about my gorgeous son, who just joined the Army.
I also think about the immediate benefit of getting my heart stronger for surgery. That's in 22 days. I know this is a lifestyle change and I am signed up for the long haul, but sometimes, I just need a daily reminder of why I want to do this. Why I NEED to do this.
