temptation in training class today

Thank goodness I remembered this and grabbed a 100 cal snack pack. I was proud of…

Lost 6 Pounds
This week I lost 6 pounds. I find that very exciting, because before my Gazelle machine, I would only lose 1-2 pounds a week. I went from weighing 179 pounds to 173 pounds. If I lose 3 more pounds, that will put me at my first goal of 170. My second would be 150-140.

I mean, they were really great pants, but they're…
