10 +

Somehow I lost the last half pound and another half pound. I don't know why really, I haven't been pushing myself and I have been cheating a little - well cheating is too harsh, we can call it relaxing some. Kris and I had a small portion dinner last night, went to the park and walked/ran a little, then we went to a thrift store and walked around, then a flea market and then a dollar store and next to the dollar store was a Dairy Queen but we did not go in like we had subconsciously planned, instead we went into subway and ordered 6 inch subs. I know - we already had dinner 2 hours earlier but we were hungry and subs sounded good. We didn't get mayo so it wasn't that bad and we didn't eat the whole sandwich either. Most of it but not all of it. I finished uploading some good songs into my iPod in hopes it would make working out easier in the morning and I think it did the trick, I had a great 20 minute work-out this morning. I have a pocket in my shorts that I slid the iPod into, I need to figure something else out or wear the same shorts each day. I plan on finding a few more songs today, I only have 33 on there right now. I need some good happy pumping up music!

8

I like the number 8 today because I have lost a total of 8 pounds! Sometimes I feel like I look GREAT, like today, I feel like I have done it, I am there. I have a few more pounds to go but I don't think it will take long anymore. And then there are those days that make me think I am crazy and still flabby. I put on a very tight bathing suit on Saturday and that didn't help. On Sunday I put on a suit that actually fit and felt SO much better, in fact it was big on me, the bottoms anyway. I don't know how much more I will lose, my goal was 10 pounds but I bet I have another 5 in me. Can you imagine being 120 something, seems so high school to me. I have a feeling I can do it, that is only like 4 more pounds. Still eating decent, small portions, snacks, drinking water, working out each morning for about 30+ minutes. We kicked up our workout and OUCH my back, my knee, my lungs! It really almost seems to easy as this point. I feel like I am still overeating now and I don't think I am doing enough in the mornings. Yet I am still losing so I guess I am doing good. I had a good little cheat incident yesterday, 4 or 5 bites of ice cream before I finally threw the container out yesterday. I blame it on my monthly hormones, they are always up to no good anyway.
