So this week is about 1/2 over. I stepped on the scale this morning to see how I’ve been doing… I’ve kept track of my calories and completed my workouts every day so far, although Monday night I finished off my husband’s bowl of cheese dip.  I felt pretty about that, BUT then I told myself, at least I didn’t fix my own bowl and eat the whole thing alongside him!  :)  Which is progress.

So this morning I’m down to 127.6.  That’s just 1 lb since Saturday, but I still have another 1/2 to this week.  I’m excited and determined to make the best of it!!!

Like I said last time, I do feel more “jiggly” at this weight than I did last time around, but in a way, that just makes me feel more hopeful that I can get more weight off. I’m slowly getting back to the weights and push ups (I can do 20 push ups in a row!!  And my old buddies might remember me talking about my complete lack of upper body strength a while back, so that is progress too! lol)  Still having a hard time working out my cardio sessions– I MISS RUNNING!! But it’s *so cold* in the mornings, my joints are stiff when I wake up, etc… Just easier to hit the step or do stuff in the house like jumping jacks, jump rope, videos, etc.  Easier, but nowhere near as enjoyable as a sunrise jog on a beautiful, warm morning…. Ah, don’t want to wish away my fall and winter, but I’ll be happy to have Spring back!! 

Anyway, just wanted to log my progress.  I’m still very determined to reach 120 by Christmas, and I just decided it’s going to be a FIRM 120… Not this jiggly looking stuff I got going on right now.
