Weigh in went really well! I lost 3.6 lbs, and feel amazing. In total I've lost 4.4 lbs. I'm really excited to reach 5 lbs. and in only 3 for real weeks. I've been on this journey now for changing my life for about 7 weeks and I feel GREAT! I still haven't been sleeping all that well, except for last night. Though I did get some help from some Advil PM. I slept so good, I feel really rested today, and I didn't dream about killing my husbands childhood friend... thank goodness! I've been thinking a lot, as always, and I've noticed that when I start to do really well in my personal life and taking care of myself I tend to stop taking care of my work persona! My attention span and memory is failing me in that are, where I'm completely remembering what I ate for like 3 days at a time and when I eat, and what the points are for certain food items. But with work, I'm seriously lacking! I'm not willing to change my personal life since I now have it the way I want it, but I need to somehow find out a way to do both. I've never succeeded at this before so it's going to be very difficult. And since I've somehow managed to balance my personal eating and school, while being able to have time for a social life and working out... I think this time I'll get it though. I am more determined this time. So Tuesday night I had the MOST delicious chicken. I grilled it on the george forman (of course) but this time put some garlic and italian herb seasoning along with Spike (excellent stuff) and some seasonal! It was so delicious. I had tat with some velveta shells and green beans. Wednesday night I wanted chicken but after the volleyball I really didn't want to have to clean the kitchen and decided on cereal instead and still had 3 points left over for the day.

I do feel tons better about this venture on weight loss, I know I keep saying that, but it's true, and I'm continuously shocked how dedicated I am to my weight loss journey. I've never been this way about it, and it feels wonderful. Even though areas in my life are a little off right now, I still feel so in control because I AM (finally) controlling the food I eat. A bit repetitive but I can't emphasize enough how great I feel all around. I was challenged to set out work out goals and tell someone, then stick to it and check in with that someone. What I've decided to do is make my workout really convenient to me right now, and get more use to it, and make it apart of my routine. Then maybe I can make it apart of everyday life. So my plan as far as working out includes the Wii Active (since it kicks my butt every time). I plan on working out with my husband on Saturday, working out with my friend on Monday, and Tuesday I plan to do the wii active again (though this time by myself). So Tuesday will really be a test since I'm not really relying on someone else to keep me accountable. But I'm excited. My arms are FINALLY starting to feel normal again from Monday's workout (that P90x kicks my butt too!!) Another bonus to this weekend's workout in Richard and I are re-arranging our house some since we FINALLY got in our Mattress (don't get me started on the delivery guy!!) so we're gonna shampoo our bedroom (finally) and get the queen into the guest bedroom, and then my in-laws and friends can come and stay with me no-matter what and they won't be stuck on a blow up mattress! It's pretty sweet! So we've got a lot of moving around, and I'm thinking about being the one to shampoo the carpet so that it adds to my calories burned. Or maybe we'll switch it out, who knows. But that's tonights plan. To shampoo and get EVERYTHING out of our bedroom. I'll take before and after pics, mainly for my purposes but I'll post them for fun anyways. I guess I should get back to what I'm being paid to do. Thanks for the support (Heather :), it means the world to me!
