I stepped on the scales this morning, and I’m down a mere 1.5 lbs. :p I really had hoped for a bigger loss than that, but I know what mistakes I made (intentional and otherwise!) and 1.5 it is! (My ‘Wal-Mart special’ digital scales only give pound and half pound readings.) It just makes me more determined to have a bigger loss this coming week.

Last night, hubby reminded me that I have a stair-climber (hydraulic thingy) in the back of our bedroom closet! :duh: That thing is great for the legs and buns! So I dragged that out and dusted it off, then wrote out a workable plan using that, the exercise ball and resistance bands. I’m going to do that routine on Mon-Wed-Fri and do my yoga tape in between. So I’m hoping that will help. At least until walking is more attractive again.

Things I’ve learned/changes I’ve made for this week? Hmm…

1. chocolate chip cookies have waaay more calories than I thought…
2. that I still need to work on reducing the refined carbs in my diet…
3. that I actually LIKE drinking water and have been drinking between 80-96 oz/day consistently…
4. that we’re still not eating in front of the TV!…
5. that I need to plan more food earlier in the day and have smaller supper meals…
6. that I need to clean out my closet!

And so starts my Week #3.

P2G:  68/62.5  [-5.5]
