Got My Party Pants On...

Blogdate: 8/17

Workout: 3T + Ab Jam

I was doing really well on my whole 'No Soda' thing until about 2:00 when I started getting really cranky and then the headache kicked in and I caved around 4. I still had a splitting headache until about 8:30 when the Tylenol finally kicked in. I think I am going to have to wean myself off this stuff a little slower.

I was kinda suprised I got my workout in... I was pretty much in bed with a headache until it went away. Then it was like I had no control over my body- I put on my workout clothes and went into the garage, ahem, Gym, for my scheduled workout. Go me!

It is nagging at me though, only losing 5 pounds... I was looking at a chart from last fall and I was able to drop 5 pounds in two weeks with just counting points- not even exercising! Grrr. I know, the 'Check is in the mail' as it were, and I wouldn't trade the conditioning I've gained- that totally rocks. And it really isn't about the scale. Right? Right?!?!?!

4 Week Weigh In!

With anticipation and trepidation I stepped on the scale this morning and weighed in at....

166!

5 pounds down! That's a little over a pound a week, not bad! 5 Pounds less than I weighed 4 weeks ago, sucka!

If I can keep this pace up I will be well below my WW Goal weight of 160 by cruise time! Perhaps if I eat better I can even be down around 150! 16 pounds in 10 weeks... that's kinda ambitious. You don't always know how your body is going to respond. I have lots of control over my direct actions but not so much on indirect things like how much weight I lose.

I am going to go for a week without caffeine- no diet soda (no soda, PERIOD next week)! I am enjoying my last diet coke as I write this and then that's it for a week! Nada! Nil! Zilch! I have just been hitting that stuff a little too hard lately and I need to encourage myself to drink actual water. I am going to refer to it as my Diet Soda Diet.
