Weighing In: Week 3

Sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday--I've been busy doing some decluttering and trying to get my house in shape! Now, I also need to work on getting ME in shape! :) I was bummed again this week not to lose any weight. However, I did almost make my exercise goal (4 days out of 5 again) and did really well with my water intake. I slacked off on the food journal, though, and let some sweets creep in again, so I need to really work on that this week. At this point, the possibility of losing 11 more lbs. by my birthday doesn't exactly look reachable . . . but I'm at least going to try my best to lose a pound per week till then. Even losing 5 or 6 lbs. in the next month would be a huge boost of encouragement!!

I do think I'm starting to see a difference in toning since starting to exercise more. As some of you have reminded/encouraged me, building muscle may mean I won't see as much weight loss as I'd like, but hopefully I will still lose inches and go down in size. :) I forgot to take my starting measurements, but I think the workout DVD is definitely helping.

So, here's hoping I'll have a little something to report next week . . . and that I can mostly stay away from Sam's birthday cake on Friday!!! :) How are you guys doing? I hope you've been able to make some progress on your goals!
