Weigh-in

It's finally here. I know you've been waiting on pins and needles all week for this post. I lost exactly 1 lb. this week, which puts me 10 1/2 lbs. away from my goal. I would estimate that in total I have lost around 8 lbs. I don't know for sure since I didn't have a scale that first 1 1/2 weeks. I'm glad for steady progress every week, but sometimes 10 lbs. still seems like a lot at this rate. But it will probably be when I step on the scale and it hasn't budged that I quit! =) I also lost close to 1/2" on my waist.

I'm still doing pretty good at everything. My exercise routine suffered a little over the weekend because I was out Saturday night and we were busy all day Monday. And the diet thing always gets a little challenging when you are out to eat or eating at someone else house, but I try to do what I can. I've even added a very little bit of jogging when I'm walking when it's flat or downhill. Though in truth, my ankle doesn't seem to like that very much. Between that and the hills I have to deal with, I figure it is probably a pretty good workout. And the toning workout I do in the evening is pretty tough! Now I just have the problem of what do I do when I have 5 kids at home all day and it's too hot to go outside any way? And despite the fact that this situation is now upon me, I have not yet come up with a solution.
