The boys and I went to my weekly weigh-in at Weight Watchers ths morning. I lost 2.4 pounds last week for a new total of 9 pounds lost. I lost 9 pounds in two weeks! I have a long way to go, but it is really encouraging to see that minus sign on my weight loss journal.
After my weigh-in, the boys and I went to the "duck pond" at Big Springs Park and played with the ducks. Hunter finally got brave enough to go down that huge slide by himself and he even climbed the outer part of the monkey bars all by himself today. I was nervous while he was climbing, but he made it to the top just fine. He had one little slip and my heart raced for a moment. But, he did not fall! I was proud of him for being so brave this time.
Hopefully, next week, he is going to try swimming lessons. Unlike his big brother, who loves to swim and swims like a fish, Hunter is frightened of the swimming pool unless he has a deadlock around your neck. He wants to get in the pool. But when he actually does, he is afraid. I hope he will do as the teachers say and not be too afraid. I am not going to force him to participate. If it does not work, we will just try again later.
Hope to post some new pictures soon!

Wow! That is great!! I am so proud of you. Keep it up!
Thanks, Leanne! I have 32 more pounds to go! I hope I can keep motivated and make it to my healthy goal!
I took swimming lessons when I was five, but like Hunter, I was terrified of the water and didn't learn to swim. Mother waited a couple of years and gave it another try with a different teacher, and I did fine, but to be honest, I still have a little fear of the water to this day. I can swim if I need to, but I don't enjoy swimming for fun. I like being in the pool, just not under water. I guess it's good God made me a human and not a fish! :)
