    6/16: 200lbs. Sweet progress! Previously doing Zumba, but this week I started Beachbody's Insanity. Only on day 4 and it is kicking my butt, but I feel like I'm getting stronger. Not dieting so much as trying to control my portions better, drink more water, and eat better quality foods.
    6/25: 197lbs :) Doing pretty good. This past week I've been a bit off schedule with my workouts but making it up with lots of walking. Also, even though I ate out a few times, I tried to make healthy choices and drink lots of water. Two more pounds before I can move on to CoS :)

    Hi, you don't have to read the books... the number of pages just gives us some goals to aim for.

    Some people do read them at the same time, but I don't.

    I also read too fast, but I am thinking about having to lose the weight to get to read that book (instead of reading it while I lose).

    My other thought was to reward myself with the audio book each time I got the weight for each book. That way I can listen to the books as I exercise.
