Remembering the Tortoise and the Hare

I have not ever really been one for speed. I like to take my time with things. I would rather do something accurately than fast. The only things I ever liked doing fast were Bible Quiz related, and maybe driving. So I guess it should come as no surprise to me that I am not losing weight very fast. Part of this is my own fault. My eating habits have not been the best and I don't work out every day. Yesterday as I was playing Wii Fit at "work" I was contemplating my progress. Here is what I remember: "Slow and steady wins the race." I don't have to lose very fast. As a matter of fact if I made really drastic changes and dropped weight suddenly, I am afraid that I would not be able to maintain the changes and keep the weight off. So for now I am content to be the tortoise, and take heart in the fact that I am actually losing, even if it is only 1 pound at a time.
