Week 1 Recap

First off, I lost 5 pounds last week! So excited when I weighed in this morning. Though I kind of already knew yesterday when I was doing the Wii fit. When you do a body test on there, they tell you your weight. But it was still nice to see it confirmed on my scales this morning.

I've already mentioned how crazy last week was, but the best part (excluding Garrett's stitches, that was actually the best part, so maybe the 2nd best part) was when I had stomach problems (read: vomiting and "other stuff") for a couple of hours on Thursday night. Seriously, last week could just not exist as far as I'm concerned, it was that crazy. As much as I could say that the weight loss was from my "issues", I did not eat the best this weekend, so I think they balanced each other out and the 5 pounds was legit.

I was only able to walk on the treadmill twice last week, which is one day less than I wanted, and I still have yet to do The Shred. But this week is a new week and I'm hoping I will get in 5 solid workouts over the next 5 days. Today's hasn't happened yet, but it's about to get knocked out. We went and got Garrett's stitches out this morning so I missed getting to walk during Cooper's morning nap which took place in his carseat from the doctor's office to Target (where I had stuff to return) so a full 15 minute nap. But he's about to go down now, so I'm off to jump on the treadmill while I still can. (And as a side note: Garrett did excellent getting the stitches out. His doctor said it was the best stitch removal he's done in at least 8 years! He said he removed stitches from another 4 year old boy last week and he got bit and kicked! Garrett just lay there and let the doctor do his thing, no tears, and didn't even require me to hold him down.)

Here's hoping this week will be much improved from last and that I'll continue to show this week's weight loss plus some more next Monday!
