You and Krista are just exercise hounds! 
I think the idea about the scale is perfect for you. I think it will allow you to not be so stressed and just enjoy the new life you have created for yourself. Can't wait til next week to see some of your food plans. I love reading peoples plans to find some tips for myself.
Have a GREAT week!
- You go Rogue Rachael!!!

Like I told Shirley below, it already feels different. I want to post successful weeks, which means doing the right things every day. So far so good.
Love,
Rachael - WOW you are on fire

I can't imagine my life without activity now. And I LOVE yoga. It's a great balance to Zumba.
Onward.
Rachael - VERY good!!

I put the scale in a box in the closet. David asked yesterday where it was. I said I didn't need it and put it away. He was all happy and said GOOD!
Sometimes I'm working for that number. I really should be working for my health. For my sanity. For my wellness and well being. The number is what it is. It was just a stat in the beginning. It was fun to see it going down and down. At some point it became a destination, a focal point. Yes, I want the doctor to tell me I'm the healthiest I can be, that my blood tests are normal. Part of that being normal is making good choices, being focused on living life, not living for a number. And, since I'm following my own plan I can have my own rules, right?!
Rachael - I love

reading your updates. Where is Zumba on Wednesday? I'm going up to Seattle to see my neice...maybe a trip a little farther north in the evening would be in order? - In Snohomish

Remember the exit you took off I5, onto US2? At the end of the bridge you took the curve to the left onto 204 to get to Lake Stevens. Well, to get to Snohomish you take the curve to the right instead. Then take a right onto Bickford Avenue (the first right you can take). Follow that down until you get into town. It's a few miles. You'll go through a light at 10th St (7-11, McDonald's on your left). Turn left into the strip mall right after McDonald's, at Jack in the Box. The gym entrance is right next to the dollar store. It looks like the tiniest place until you get inside.
Class starts at 6. There are some CRAZY front row girls in this class. No mirrors. Great group!!
Rachael
- Nice week

This way of life is normal and natural now, after almost 2 years. It bothers me the statistics about weight loss. One stat I heard in the beginning, from the doctor, was 1% of "dieters" lose HALF their unwanted weight. 1/2 of 1% of those keep it off. The clinic considers "off" being 5 years. Valerie Bertinelli was on a talk show last week and said 95% of "dieters" fail within 5 years, gaining their weight back.
You know something else that's funny? I'll hit my 5 year anniversary when I'm 40. Forty. That's hysterical!
Rachael - Wicked!
