Well, the first week is almost done. I have to say that I have stuck to my plan. Well, I may have slipped up a little bit at dinner tonight, but the rest of the week went great. I haven't decided yet if I should say how much I have lost or not.   Maybe I should just keep it a secret and let the News-Herald let everyone know every month. That one is still up for debate. I will say that I am in good spirits and although I may not have lost a huge amount of weight yet, I can definitely feel a difference.   I am trying to take this competition in stages. What I mean is that I have made small goals for myself that are easier to obtain. I guess you can say that I am taking baby steps. Weight Watchers taught me that and it really does help.   I am glad to see that my family is already taking notice to what I am trying to do. Everyone is asking me questions about what they should eat and how much. I hope that what I am doing will take a long term effect on everyone around me.   The real key is to show them results. The old saying is, "seeing is believing". I have said that I was going to lose weight for the past few years and then I didn't follow through with it. This time is different. My mind is in the right place and I will reach my goal.   I just have to make sure that I work out hard tomorrow for my indulgence of pizza tonight. Yes, I had a weak moment. It just smelled really good. I was extra good all week so I don't think that I did any real damage. Oh well, enough rambling. I will talk to you soon.   Keith
