I had an amazing weigh in this week - 6 pounds!!!!!

I'm attributing a lot of that to water weight. And I don't expect to have such dramatic results each week. But, I'll take it!

I've slowly been making some positive changes. I'm planning out what I'll be cooking for dinner at least a week in advance, and writing it in my planner. That way I'm not caught in the "oh, there's nothing to fix, let's just order pizza or get McDonald's" trap. I've been finding some really good recipes, and have been faithful to sticking to serving sizes. It's not easy, because some of these meals have been so good, I could have easily gone back for seconds, or even thirds. When I'm packaging up the left overs, I've been doing that by serving size, too, so it's easy for me to know how much I'm eating the next day if I eat it for lunch.

I was much more active last week. My friend Angela and I walked the parks here in Mt. Pleasant twice, both times 3 miles. I was really sore the days after those walks, but like my friend Kristy puts it, it's a good kind of sore. :)

I've really been pushing myself to drink those 8 cups of water a day. It's not easy, and I don't always reach my goal, but I'll just keep trying.

Oh, and I found a TaeBo workout tape at the Salvation Army thrift store, though I've yet to try it yet.

Until next week!
