My Thoughts:
Can you tell lunch was absolutely freaking disgusting?? Gag! This University should be ashamed to serve that stuff they called food!

Don't feel too bad about my food choices given the actual choices I had. Will be back on track come Sunday w/ the exercising. My husband keeps commenting that I'm getting a skinny ass and I keep asking if he's joking. I'm really starting to feel it in my pants and that makes me feel so good (since that was my MAJOR problem area). I can't wait to lose another 5-10 pounds. To accomplish my goal, I need to lose 5 more pounds in 2 weeks. I should be close if not right on!

Can you believe I didn't even eat a COOKIE?

Breakfast: 3 Slices Turkey Bacon

Snack: 1/4 cup Almonds (Lightly Salted)
Dinner: Salad w/ Cheese & FF Italian Dressing

Exercise:

Planned: Upper & 20 Minutes Cardio
Actual: Upper & Long Walk w/ Doggies (Me Walking Godiva)

My Thoughts:
Even though we didn't go to the gym last night it was well worth it. I worked out in the landscape and cleaned up some stuff around the house. It was a great night!

Decided that walking the dogs was a good workout. Maybe even better than what I do at the gym. (I said maybe) If I walk Godiva, she gives me good resistance the ENTIRE walk and I'm sure it's great for my legs. The only downfall today was it also wore out my arms, so I strained a little at the gym on a couple things. I still managed to get it in though. I'm really doing good on my biceps and which is my main focus on upper right now. Adding the extra workout for biceps really helps. I did 20 pounds on the bicep curl tonight. Woohoo! And I will soon be doing 10, 10, 12.5 instead of 7.5, 10, 10. The 10s are getting much easier to do. Of course the 7.5s are a breeze!

My Thoughts:
Went shopping at Target last night. I dread shopping as does many ladies I know. Last night was wonderful! I am definitely in a 10 now and even on my way down. I bought a size 10 A-line skirt and it is a little loose. Probably not the best choice, but knew a size 8 was just not happening yet! On the way out of the dressing room I actually thought to myself, "That was a very nice experience." I haven't tried on clothes w/out getting depressed in quite some time. It was so uplifting.

Exercise:

Planned: Upper & 40 Minutes Cardio (Walk/Run)
Actual: Upper & 20 Minutes Treadmill (1.07 Miles, 79 Cals)

My Thoughts:
Feeling better today so far. Can you believe my scale?? I weighed myself 3 times just to make sure! DOUBLE DIGTIS! I owe it all to the cardio we added this week. I hope to post measurements later today, too. I'm finally starting to feel the loss now, too (at least a little). Although I don't think I can get in my size 10s yet... I'll wait for a few more pounds before trying that.

This coming week is going to be a bit more difficult b/c we have our graduate open house Thursday night, all day Friday, and Saturday til around noon. I definitely won't be able to workout Thur & Fri, but hope to eat decent. Will have to take my dinner Thursday night b/c they are serving pizza. Lunch & dinner on Friday should be a little easier b/c lunch I can order something healthy and dinner is a buffet, so I'll just have to choose wisely.

Ended up not feeling so hot during cardio so I only did 20 minutes. I had a great upper body workout though. Really trying to increase my weights, too. Had an unplanned bad dinner although I only ate a little of the burger and fries, but I ate the entire McFlurry... I guess I needed a free day after what I accomplished this past week in weight loss. Just hope I didn't screw it up.
