One thing that's become clear as Darcy and I have traveled the weight loss road is that small victories and moments of success add up.  The latest one was during our softball game tonight.  First off, the mere fact that we are able to play for our Church team attests to the fact that something's been able to get us up and moving.  That aside, Darcy's mom came by to watch the game and keep and eye on our kids.  After the game (a shortened 20-0 victory by the Saint Peter Keys!), she casually remarked that she could hardly recongize us two skinny people out there.

Now, skinny is something only my mother-in-law would use to describe me, but being 33 pounds lighter than 10 weeks ago shows.  Darcy and I have been in and out of more than a few diets and weight loss programs, some of them with her mom, and we've all acheived some degree of success, followed by the inevitable slide and then fall.  The little comments from people who notice something different, especially those who know what you've been through in the past, are the victories we need to keep going. 

It even gave me enough confidence to go out to the bar with the team after the game and enjoy my "lean and green" medifast meal:  grilled chicken breast and a salad. 

Even the Wisconsin cheese curds stayed on the table!
