Well, I made it through "Quitters Friday"

I didn't know this until recently that the second Friday of January is known as Quitters Friday.  This is because, on average, any New Year's Resolution that is made on January 1st will be broken by the second Friday of the New Year.

On January 5th I started Weight Watchers.  I had gotten too heavy.  Pictures showed the truth - I was getting fat! I decided that something had to be done.  Weight Watchers had been helpful to me in the past so I have given it another try.

Now, January 17th should have been Quitters Friday for me.  But I powered right past it.  And I've kept going.  Monday is my weigh-in day and so far I've lost 4 pounds.  Doesn't sound like much.  But I've noticed that some slacks that had become too tight fit a little bit better now.  

Someone told me that because I'm older the weight isn't going to fall as fast as when I was younger.  At this point all I want to see is some progress.  So, I've got my head down and I'm going to keep powering through.  And keep walking past all the goodies my dear, sweet wife keeps around the house!
