    We're over halfway there for this challenge. I'm getting stronger each day with my workouts (zumba, zumba toning and JM dvds here and there). Also I am jogging 3 minutes straight (which I never thought I could do) at 5.5 pace. This week my goal is to jog 5 minutes straight. Today was my first day of 8 weeks of therapy for my sciatica which I hope will stop this aching pain!!!

    Starting weight- 7/4/11 185.7 lbs
    Week 1- 7/11/11 184.5 lbs
    Week 2- 7/18/11 179.8 lbs
    Week 3- 7/25/11 178.4 lbs
    Week 4- 8/1/11 175.2 lbs
    Week 5- 8/8/11 173.8 lbs

    Labor Day Goal Weight: 162 (pre-pregnancy weight)
    Challenge: Consistently workout with C 2 5K app.

    Darnit ... nowhere even close to the 165 by Maddie's wedding... which is TOMORROW! The wedding is on a boat/yacht in the Harbor. Nothing in my closet that isn't "vintage" or "too tight", so I went to Macy's & let their fitting people do their thing. Finally settled on black capri pants, a scoop-neck top with a band of glitters on the neck, a bracelet & flat grey pumps. And, most of the stuff was on sale today! So, at least I have an outfit that looks modern, & I don't feel like a blimp in! Woo Hoo! Still cannot get my hair stylist, so my hair is going to be a bit too long, but... oh well, at least I have ONE outfit that I can look nice in right now!
