    I have completely failed myself this month. I have not been exercising or eating like I should be. My weight this week did go down by .8 but I feel like I could've done a lot better!!
    last week weight 139.6
    this week 138.8

    I :heart: Zumba, that is all :laugh:


    :laugh: :bigsmile: :laugh: :bigsmile: :laugh:

    I went out of town with CJ for a few days & didn't keep track of my eating. I had a lot of beer & munchies, but still went for a run & did a LOT of walking exploring around Springfield, IL. I had a fabulous time & didn't really worry about anything. It was much needed relaxation time! I peeked at the scale this morning & I'm only up 1/2 a pound! So not too shabby! :bigsmile: Hopefully I can do great this weekend & the scale will reward me in the 180s on Monday! :bigsmile:

    Since April 25th, I've burn 17,723 calories, not including today... :D I'm really hoping to jump start my weight loss again, hopefully I'll see 191 in a week or so :)

    My travelling week is coming to an end. Today I have a wedding & then will be heading back home.

    Overall, it wasn't a great week for food; I tried to offset the high calories/high sodium items with fruit & salad whenever I could but those times were rare. I did a lot of walking and got a few runs in but I miss my cycling! I'm looking forward to getting back into my normal eating/exercise routine starting first thing tomorrow!

    jakesmom Great job on making it to onderland!!!

    Im really hoping to see 149 tomorrow but I don't think I will because I ate panda express orange chicken today. : (
    I really believe I have FINALLY left the number 152 behind BUT I think I found a new number lol.... I have been lingering at 150 for the past two weeks! of cours the first week I saw 152 a couple times and this past week I have not seen 152 at all!

    Now to get to 149 hopefully by the end of the month lol well hope everyone has a good night im off to bed gotta get up and work a 16 tomorrow
