Ups and Downs
Velma

Well, I've had ups and downs during the last four weeks. One up that I'm not excited about is that I gained a pound during the last two weeks. Some of the things I am proud of are some of my eating choices. I've been out to eat several times lately and ordered a salad or soup and salad combo instead of some greasy fried concoction that I would have normally ordered. I have actually gone to the gym once, but that means that I have only gone once. Now that school is in full swing, I hope to go on a more regular basis. The gym is on my way home but 30 miles away from home.
I am having a really tough time with the eating choices, etc. Please send encouraging thoughts, prayers, etc. my way. I know I need to do this and I want to do this, but I am struggling. I think I have toyed with it so long that I am having a difficult time getting serious with it again.

I'm so proud of how well everyone else is doing. It's exciting to see Heather in smaller clothes and see that she is feeling better about herself. It is equally exciting to hear that Cynthia is leading her family towards a newer, healthier eating lifestyle. Not to mention how well Ashley, Doug, and the rest of you are doing.
Yeah McElroy family! Keep it up and keep watching those weights go down.

I love ya'll,
Velma
