It's July 4th and a huge holiday here in the U.S. - the day of our Independence from England. It's America's 231st birthday this year. :) Most people get the day off, so I hope you are enjoying it. I am working like always, and did my regular weekly grocery run today, albeit very small due to money being so tight.

Each day I think about how I'm not losing weight, or losing it very slowly. I had a reality check yesterday. Someone on the NutriSystem forums posted a thread asking how much weight you lost in June. I checked my pocket calendar, did the math, and discovered that I lost 3.2 lbs. in June! That's not bad at all and I am just so thrilled with that. I'm not doing nearly as bad as I thought. Dare I think that I could make goal by the time I leave for Conference at the end of this month?
