Week Five: I Think I Can

"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you are right." -Henry Ford

Hi all! It's been another healthy week here in Doha! I am down another 2 pounds, so I'm feeling pretty great right now! This morning after my weigh-in, I thought, "You know what? You can do this, Candace.  You're already doing it! You go girl!" And then maybe I did a little happy jig.  

Not that I didn't believe in myself before, but the more progress I make, the more realistic my goal seems. Attitude makes a huge difference when you're trying to be healthy. I've noticed that my attitude about everything fitness related is just getting better and better! There is hardly a day when I don't feel like exercising, hardly a day when I really want to eat something majorly unhealthy because I can really see the benefits of those things. Not to say I've turned into some fitness junkie who deplores junk food and prefers exercise over lounging about, but my attitude is definitely changing for the better!

In a week, I am leaving for Sri Lanka, so I have a mini-goal to lose 3 pounds this week.  That would get me up to a 10 pound weight loss before my week of vacation.  Three little pounds will actually take quite a bit of effort, but I think I'm up for the challenge! And if it doesn't happen, oh well! There's always next time!

Life is good, healthy, and happy here in Doha!

Pounds lost: 7

Pounds left to lose: 23

Love,

Candace
