Week 8 Recap

Surprisingly, when I got on the scales this morning I had lost a pound. This week was kind of tough for me to get back into the groove after a week off. I'm nowhere near being ready to take breaks yet, but I knew I needed to verbally say that or else I was going to go crazy last week trying to continue to diet and exercise with our house in full chaos mode. I only managed to get on the treadmill twice this week and my eating has been spotty with bad choices. The positive is that all the cupcakes are gone so no more bad temptations, I just need to figure out better meal options for supper time around here.

I also wanted to point out for those who read this and don't know me or for those who haven't seen me in a while, I have a good amount of weight to lose. While my initial weight loss goal is to lose 30 pounds by June, my ultimate goal is 60 pounds. As we all know, the more weight to lose, the faster it comes off in the beginning. So for those who might be struggling to lose 10 pounds, hang in there! And I'm jealous that you only need to lose 10 pounds!

As of today's weigh-in, I am officially over halfway to my first goal. Hopefully between now and June I can lose 14 more pounds.

Lydia, it sounds like you're doing really well with your weight loss. You have to have a break every now and then, it's hard to stay on a diet constantly. I'm glad all the "boys" are well now and you didn't get the bug.
