-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 can't believe I've stuck to my diet for 12 days!! It feels so good. I was able to a full 60 minutes today! 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!
