Week 2....already?

Tomorrow morning will be weigh in for week 2.  I am feeling really good about whatever the number will be, knowing that, as long as its in the right direction, that's all that matters.  I have never been a very patient person with myself, especially when it comes to losing weight.  I want it to move quickly, 1 or 2 pounds a week, when you have alot of weight to lose seems like forever.  However, since I have decided.....FINALLY, that it has to be a lifestyle change and since I have accepted its a forever thing, I guess I am not gonna worry if its 1 or 2 pounds a week.  
I had to attend an ice cream social this afternoon for a Quarterback Club meeting.  Wayne is working nights right now so I knew I would have our 3 year old, Cayden with me for the meeting, and he would want ice cream for sure.  We arrived a little late, went thru process and got him a bowl of ice cream, sat down for the meeting and it all went well!  I always feel good when I leave an event like that and didn't feel tempted to splurge.  Yeah!  
I think my biggest challenge this weekend has been with my 13 year old son.  I have really been trying to make this a family thing, leading by example and making healthier choices.  Trying to get him to understand and break old habits is very hard.  I feel bad for him, as I totally understand his thought process.  He has really been mad at me several times this weekend, when I have tried to show him why his choices are not healthy and what he should have instead.    I have decided tomorrow morning we will weigh in together, I don't think he can get tuned into this without seeing some of his own progress.  With his age and activity, I guess I need to know what works for him also, so this will give us a starting point.  He has started football so his activities have picked up, he wants to lose weight, but I know first hand how hard that is as a teenager.  I think if he sees progress on the scales that will give him more of a purpose and ambition to work towards a goal.  
If I could rewind time..........I would have forced healthier habits on my kids from earlier on.  Since nothing can be gained by feeling bad about that,  and I can't go back in time and fix things that are already done.  We move forward in this Journey and it's gonna be so worth it, and we are gonna do it, "One step at a time."
