Getting Lighter 2 Ways

For some reason today I have that song in my head that goes "da, da, da, da, hey he-ey good-bye. da, da, da, da, ...da, da, da, da, hey he-ey good-bye." I stepped on the scale today 10 pounds lighter than 4 weeks ago, when I started this thing of mine. 10 pounds folks! yipee! can you see me doing my happy dance? I was thrilled. I knew I was getting pretty close to that 10 pound mark, and I haven't weighed myself in a few days so this morning I thought I'd give it a whirl and low and behold, ta da!...the scale read 10 pounds lighter.

Seeing that lower number has giving me a bit of a boost of confidence to know that I can lose weight. Yes, this new life is a big change. Yes, it's hard at time. Yes, it's frustrating. Yes, it's going to be a slow process. Yes, I know this is the easiest 10 pounds I'm going to lose, but yes, I can do this.

I also figured that shedding my first 10, would bring a smile on my face so, as my "reward" I started using these today. I saw a picture of myself taken a couple of weeks ago and the first thing I noticed, was my yellow teeth. Seriously, yellow. When did I have time to do that? They were so discolored I even tried, (unsuccessfully) to photoshop them before I posted it to my Kodak Gallery account. So there in that account, embarrassing as it is, is a great picture of TLM and me with my mouthful of yellow.

I know I'm going to be sounding like a dreaded infomercial testimonial but today was day one, and really I think I can see a difference. Really. Truly. They are super easy to use, easy to put on and possibly the best thing about using the strips is it only takes 5 minutes a day. I mean really, who can't manage 5 minutes a day? And.. you can do stuff while your teeth are magically turning from yellow to white. I figure, I'll put them in right before my shower and when I'm in there, I can just take them out, no muss, no fuss. vio-la! I'll post a before and after picture for ya'll when I get through.

And, no this had not been a paid presentation but I am Big Girl and I approve this product.
