One Week In

So Saturday ended my first full week of Project Me. It actually wasn't too bad! I thought giving up Diet Coke would be much harder, but it wasn't. I've been drinking lots and lots of water and Crystal Light. I even used my elliptical three times, 30 minutes each time. I'm working my way up to longer and more often. And I didn't cheat at all the entire week. I've been keeping track of all calories with the iPhone app Lose It! It's really helped me see where my calories are going and how I'm doing for the day. So my total loss for the first week was: 10 pounds exactly! Too bad I can't do that every week! LOL

Since I was in town Saturday, I went to a birthday party/dinner for a friend at Maggiano's Little Italy restaurant. It was family style eating for the whole group. There was sooo much food. Of course, all of it loaded with calories, but all soooo yummy! It was a five-course meal. I did indulge a bit. I was afraid I had wrecked the start of the second week of Project Me, but this morning I had to sneak a peek at the scale and I was down another .8 lbs from Saturday morning! So hopefully I didn't wreck the week.

Otherwise, just worked this weekend at home trying to kept caught up. It never fails that the atty's schedule is not schedule I was planning to do something! This week looks to be busy, too, which is great. Gotta stay busy!

I want to wish Josh a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

And I'll be thinking about Ashley tomorrow for her surgery. I know everything is going to go exactly according to plan!

Back to work...........

Okay. HOLY CRAP!!! Way to go (and that's an understatement)! I still haven't gotten "serious." I'm still on the slow path, which I guess is okay, but I do need to kick it into high gear. Keep up the awesome work, you're definitely inspiring me!
