Week 10

Total Weight Change Thus Far...10.8 lbs!!!

That's right people, I have crossed the 10 lb mark! I worked my butt off this week and I am so glad I was able to see that work correspond to a loss on the scale. Sometimes it doesn't work out that way, and it can be very discouraging, and believe me, I needed to see something good this week.

So, what did I do this week to help me lose over 2 lbs...

PA this week:
Sat: run/walk 5 miles
Sun: 50 mins w/ Alyssa
Mon: 3/4 mile run (no walking) 3/4 mile walk
Tue: 2 mile run/walk
Wed: 50 mins w/ Alyssa
Th: nada
F: 10 minute run, 5 min walk, 60 mins weight training
Sat/Sun: sailing... (def doesn't count, I only sweat b/c I was so hot!)

I tracked everything I ate this week and worked hard to stay w/in my points. This week was also aided by re-discovering my love of cooking. I cooked 5 times this week, and brought my left overs for lunch several days, so I didn't eat out nearly as much as normal. Plus, when I cook, that means that I have planned out a meal. When I plan my meals in advance I can make good decisions rather than trying to decide what to eat when I am already hungry and the cupboards are empty.

My success this week has helped keep me motivated. Now that I have passed the 10 lb mark, my next goal (15 lbs) seem so close. 15 lbs is a lot! And then I will get to 20...! Yeah! I will be down to my pre-grad school weight in a few months, and then who knows from there.

Summer-I am going to try and keep with your gains!
