Patience and Small Steps Do Pay Off.... Eventually

I'm seven days into my new lifestyle... thats what I'm calling it.  A new lifestyle.  Makes what I'm doing sound much more cool and interesting than it really is.  Actually it makes it sound much less painful than it really is, like the new lifestyle is all tan people in bikinis frolicking on a white sandy beach saying "hey, come join us, we're thin and healthy, and never get winded or sore muscles!" 

Well, being one of those beach people is the goal of all this, its just the miles and miles of trudging to get there that irks me.  I have seen a bit of progress... I've lost three pounds in 7 days!  So, I got that going for me...
