Over 1/2 way done with week #2

TIME FLIES! or I always loved when my mom had a little frog figurine that says "Times Fun When You're Having Flies." okay. that was irrelevant.

I have lost 4.2 lbs! whoa! in just one week!

Its VERY surprising granted the extreme struggle that I went through in the past week. I was retaining so much fluid, waste, etc. that I didn't know if I would truly see a difference at the scale and I did! how exciting!

I also bought a scale. I decided that was the right idea, but I am kind of a weight Nazi about it now. I have seen numbers as low as 223 which is 10 pounds lower then my starting weight. I DO have to consider that my morning weight when I am naked just doesn't really count, its more mental that I like to see the number. My true weigh in will be this Saturday (2 days) so I am holding myself accountable to exercise tonight because I work both jobs tomorrow (Friday)

In addition to working out at Lifetime I have been inspired to buy Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred. I am usually not into cliche workout videos but my cousin saw REAL results from this so I feel like I should give it a try. ADRIAN SAID NO! First of all because we cant afford any extra "little diddies" or "treasures" as I like to call them because we are on a tight budget with bills, adding a car payment now and various other UNEXPECTED costs coming into play very soon. SO! I told him that I wouldn't buy anything extra but can you put a price on health? yes you can! its called $100 a month at lifetime, so I should just go BUT now I spent $10 on this DVD. I just want results. I am in a hurry to lose this excess baggage!

It feels good to get these little goals out and that way as I gain or lose I can reflect on these goals and know where I wan to to be/weigh in what time frame.

this week: I made some cabbage soup that is "0" points and I am going to make sure to eat enough protein and fat so that I am "regular" because YET AGAIN I had some issues with pooping normally.

wish me luck with the coming week!
