Yay For Friday!

I am happy to report that my spirits are up once more. It also doesn't hurt when you lose 2 pounds! What? Yes, that's right....2 pounds! I was a little surprised considering the blur of the first of the week. But I feel like I am back on track. I worked out last night at a step class and this morning I did half of a Triple Fit class and then ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes. And I actually RAN the whole time. It is getting a little easier to run, I must say. I am only up to about 1.5 miles but considering where I was about a month ago, it is great progress! I have been really good about keeping my calories around 1500 so I think that is what contributed to my weight loss. I think I am ready to introduce just a little bit of a treat back in. I will see how it goes this weekend. I am planning on making cookies for General Conference and I am planning on eating some of them. If I can remain in control, I might be able to do a special treat every week. If it is a pig mania fest, I will have to go back to nothing. So glad the weekend is here! We have a busy one but I'm glad conference is on Sunday. I plan to stay in jammies all day.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Way to go on 2 pounds gone!!!! I'm jealous! See...even if you didn't get to work out for a few days you watched your eating & that totally made a difference! It's all about the food dang it! Thanks for the motivation since I didn't lose or gain this week...I wanted to binge but didn't do it because you were strong all week!!!! Thank you! Have an awesome weekend & enjoy your cookies & the dough! I don't think I am strong enough yet to make my own treats!:)

I am so motivated by your loss this week! It is helping me to feel actually excited about reigning in my calorie intake and cracking down on sugar. Congrats! Every time I want to cave this week, I'm going to think about YOU! Here's to at least one pound of weight loss for me in the next week (hold me to it!)
