I lost 1.8 pounds!

I thought I’d lose more because of the amount of exercise I did this week. BUT, I am in no way unhappy. As long as the number keeps going DOWN, I’m a happy camper!

I did get up and do the 3 mile again today, and plan on doing it tomorrow.

Last week, my meeting leader, Joanne, asked us to come up with a way to motivate us to stay on plan for those days when we want to throw in the towel. What I did was create a photo album. It holds 4×6 photos, so I can carry it with me everywhere. I put a few pictures of my son first, since it was his innocent request that got me started on this journey. After those, I put the pictures that I’ve taken recently that I hate the way I look in (see Before Pics and Gallery). I left lots of room to add pictures as I lose. So, every month I’ll add a new picture to it. Although I don’t foresee a day when I won’t want to do this, just in case, it’s INSTANT motivation!

Alright..off to have a snack (fat free/sugar free chocolate pudding: It’s good, really it is!) and then off to bed…after I finish laughing at American Idol. Oh yes. I’m a huge fan!
