Get Fit: Week 13

 If you'll remember, I decided to take a break this week.  Rick was going to be gone and with being so busy at school, trying to fit in all my activities AND working around the kids, meal planning and working out was just going to be too much.  Mainly, my break was going to involve food.  I ate:

• cheese
• ice cream (a big bowl of cookies and cream)
• peanut butter
• muffins (no flour or sugar, but still)
• TWO helpings (not one, TWO) of beef and noodles
• an ice cream sandwich (it was the first PR Party...come on!)

...yep.

Exercise: 14.5 miles, and four yogas.  Not bad for my break week.

Diet: See above :)  I was pretty much on it the entire rest of the time though.

Breakthroughs:

This week, I weighed in at the lowest weight of my adult life:

146.8

Can I tell you that I was shocked?  I hadn't eaten well this week so I hadn't been weighing myself as frequently.  I honestly thought I was in for a higher number, and that this would have to be next week's breakthrough.  So I was BEYOND excited to see this number!

• Total weight loss so far: 38.7
• Just 1.8 lbs to go!

Today we had my nephew's birthday party.  I hadn't seen many of the family since my regime began, and they were SO complimentary.  Rick's grandpa told me how proud he was of me.  It was nice to hear - I'm proud of me, too!

Week 14 Goals:

• Enjoy Labor Day with the fam. Not sure what our plans are, but I believe they include getting out of town for the day!
• Rock solid on the diet.
• Lose 1.8 lbs. This is the first time I've put a time frame on my weight loss.  It's happening by the end of this week.  If I can eat that crap and STILL lose a pound, I can certainly eat the good stuff and knock off this 1.8, right?

It's happening.
