My Late Report

Alfalfa is reporting a +/- 0 for the week. I will do better this week.
I am very happy to see all of the posts today. Let me explain why I feel this way. Being one of the 3 male members of Club Zero I really don't have any recipes to share unless you all wanted to know how to take a frozen pizza out of the box and put it in the oven or how it takes exactly one minute and forty-five seconds to microwave a bag of popcorn at our house. So I really look forward to hearing the suggestions all of you have and the things you are doing to work at this. I was beginning to wonder if our little club was beginning to fizzle out because as the weeks have gone on the posts have become fewer and fewer and it seemed like discouragement was the biggest theme of all the Monday weigh-in posts.
But after today I see that our club really is going strong. Maybe we all are a little discouraged because the weight doesn't seem to be dropping off as fast as we want it to or we don't seem to be accomplishing our goals. But we all really want to succeed at this. Club Zero attire, goals to run half marathons or 5K races help me see that I need to keep trying my best even if I do get a little down on myself. So my goal for the week is this: every night I will post something I have done that day that has helped me. Whether it is what I did to fight off a craving, what I did to exercise, or something I read that inspired me I will take the time to share it with you. We can't do this alone so lets stop focusing on the things we didn't do or the things we shouldn't have done, and start focusing on the little steps we take each day to get us that little bit closer to our goals. Thanks for the uplift today. I will talk to you all tomorrow. ALFALFA
