No more diet pills...and it is all in my head

I used to be a dedicated user of diet pills. I thought I could not lose the weight without them; and then I would use them all and not buy more for a little while and the weight would add back on. And I would start all over. To be completely honest, it has been 2 months since I've taken a diet pill. I was unsure about how much weight I would lose without the pills, but it was all in my head. I have changed from the pills to drinking LeanShake 25 from GNC (I LOVE the stuff) and I have dropped 6 pounds! A lot of it is, I know really watch what I eat (thanks to myfitnesspal.com) and I exercise regularly.

So, now that I've kicked the diet pills habit, I still have the scale habit to beat, but I don't think that will be as easy to beat, but then again, that is all in my head too.

Another thing that is in my head is my dislike of running...being in Alaska doesn't help because of the cold weather for so many months, but when I was in the military, I disliked running, and I had to run everyday. But my hubby said that the running is all mental...I just have to get over it, and get that voice in my head to stop telling me I can't do it.

I borrowed a co-workers 10 minute trainer...and I LOVE it! I like that it is different from just being on a treadmill, or cybex arc machine. I am hopeful that this will help me see the weight drop off Hubby can see there is a difference, but the voice in my head keeps telling me there is no change; and I am wearing pants a size smaller...but I can't get that voice in my head to change its thinking...at least not overnight.

Happy day to everyone.
