Movin' on down!
I've finally seen the scale move down for the first time since July! I lost 2.4 lbs. this week. Yay!
I probably should have lost more, but I did have a little mess up on Tuesday night. I was so hungry by the time I got home with the kids that when I got them supper, I couldn't hold back. I couldn't even wait 4 minutes to heat up a JC meal! Now that's sad. lol 
I did manage to get in sustained exercise 4 days this week. We went biking on Saturday, walking on Sunday, and I went to the gym both on Monday and Friday. At the gym, I tried an elliptical for the first time on Monday. All I can say is - it KICKED MY BUTT! My heart rate went out the roof and I could only stay on it for about 6 minutes. Pitiful!! Then, this morning, I started with the elliptical first instead of waiting until after my treadmill work. I managed to stay on for....*drum roll, please* ......10 minutes! 
I'm determined to work my way up to a respectable amount of time because the calorie expenditure was awesome!
My goal for this upcoming week is to drink more water and avoid a binge, so I'm going to go buy more veggies, sugar-free jello, and gum to help me get through any hunger spells. Also, I'm going to try to get in some moderate exercise 4-5 days between now and next Friday. Progress, not perfection.... I'm all about that. 
. Keep it up!!
