-3!!
I lost another 3 pounds this week! What a relief. I caught a chest cold on Friday and was able to still work out that day. By Saturday by chest hurt so bad I decided it wasn't best to work out. I was afraid that would have affected my weight loss but it didn't. I only have 1 more pound to hit my 20 pound mark! I'm so glad that I'm sticking to this. My sister has this week off so I'm hoping I don't fall off when it comes to eating out. I can most likely find something to eat anywhere we go. I just have to be good at working out in the evening! Oh and it's a holiday this weekend...YIKES!

Goal #1!!!!
I did it! I've lost 16 pounds so far and my first goal was to lose 15 by the fourth of July. I'm ahead of schedule and I love it! Especially because I know there is going to be a time when I will stop losing so fast. I worked out 5 days this week 60 minutes each time. I also went from level 6 to level 7 on the elliptical. I couldn't believe how much more of a work out I got the first time. I burned over 100 calories more! I also went out to eat with Derek this weekend. We had a gift card for an Italian restaurant and I wasn't sure about calories. I decided on angel hair pasta with tomato sauce. It was really good and I only ate about 1/3 of what they gave me. I was actually full!! It's amazing how much your stomach shrinks when you don't eat so much!!

Still Here!
I have NOT fallen off the wagon! I've been kind of lazy putting my food on everyday, and we went out of town Friday night and I didn't get on the computer at the hotel. I was so proud of myself for sticking to my diet while we were out of town. My only downfall was that I wasn't able to work out Friday or Saturday. I was nervous to weigh in today because I was stressed the whole weekend. I was very happy to see -3 pounds! 13 pounds in 3 weeks is pretty awesome! I only have 2 more pounds to meet my 15 pound goal by the 4th of July. I'm hoping to take care of that this week :) I'm excited to get back on the elliptical tonight and get back to my routine.

I finally made it through the week! I didn't post yesterdays food because I honestly can't exactly remember what I ate, but I was way under for the day. Last night was a horrible night for me. I tried a new formula on my baby (soy, thinking maybe he is lactose intolerant) and he threw up for 3 straight hours. Projectile. Anyway, he was very lethargic and me being the most paranoid parent when it comes to my child's health, I took him to the ER. Anyway, he is doing much better today (after 14 hours of Pedialyte) and seems to be back to his old self again. So, I didn't go to bed last night at all, I finally fell asleep at 6:00 am this morning (and was awake by 7:30). I was so proud that I stuck to my diet. I usually fall off my diet when I get stressed or tired. I'm excited to weigh in tomorrow. I'm thinking it might be another good weight loss!

I did it yesterday too, but I did 20 minutes in the morning and then my kids were about to kill each other so when I put them to bed I did another 40. Today I did an hour with NO int eruptions! I was pouring sweat but it felt so good!

A New Favorite
I love this place! I've actually only had it once (yesterday), but I know I'll be going back. It is a chain, but there is only one in Washington state and it happens to be right down the road from our house!! It reminds me of Subway, but with a pita. I can get so much food for very little points and that is why I like it.

Another busy morning! We all slept in till about 7:30 so I didn't get on the elliptical before all the appointments we had. After the dentist, I took the kids to McDonald's for being so good. I had about 10 (or less) of Reese's fries. I always have plenty of points left to spare so I splurged. I then had to take the baby to the Dr and then over to the hospital for a chest x-ray. That was EXHAUSTING, but when i got home I got on the elliptical. It was 90 outside and I still managed to get in 45!!

I was so tired this morning. I got on the elliptical and felt like I couldn't finish and that I would do it later that night. Around 4pm, I was feeling guilty. So I got on and did another 45 minutes. It was almost 90 degrees outside but I knew I had to get it in. And I'm so glad I did!!! The kids did pretty good for the most part. They gave the baby his binky about 10 times which helped. I have a busy day tomorrow with taking the kids to the dentist and the baby to the Dr. I'll have to get on first thing tomorrow!!!!

Today was good. The kids had Slurpees and I really wanted one but I resisted. I felt more hungry today, but I really think it was me just wanting to snack. I'm glad I overcame the urge!!

First Weigh In...
I LOST 5 POUNDS!!
It feels good, but I'm a little selfish. The way I've been exercising and eating I'd like to see a 10 pound loss. My husband reminded me that a 10 pound loss is Biggest Loser weight loss, so I should be proud of my 5 pounds. And I am. I hope I can keep up this pace. I'm already 2 pounds ahead of schedule!!
