    hopefully I can hit 5lbs by the end of this month but it seems like my weightloss is getting slower. See y'all on next weeks weigh in!

    I worked out every day this week (haven't yet today) and been really good with my eating. I am guessing I had a good week?

    Here's another tip...

    9 Energy Boosters
    By Kristyn Kusek

    Tip 3 of 9: Get an Energy Boost From Deep Breathing

    Shallow breathing prevents the body from getting enough oxygen. Many people fail to breathe deeply when they feel tense, which is one reason they may feel zapped at the end of a stress-filled day. “The general principles of correct breathing are to make it deeper, slower, quieter, and more regular,” says Weil. Doing so helps you force more oxygen into your cells, which slows heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and improves circulation, ultimately providing more energy.

    Weil suggests you do a simple breathing exercise twice a day or whenever you feel yourself losing steam: Put the tip of your tongue against the ridge behind your upper teeth. Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound. Then inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold your breath for a count of seven, and exhale through your mouth for a count of eight. Repeat for a total of four breaths.

    I have to admit that I haven't been doing very well. I typically start off the day ok, but then crash and burn by either mid-afternoon or evening. I haven't been exercising, so I need to get focused this weekend. I'm getting perilously close to the 150 mark on the scale again, and need to be down to 143 to meet the 5 lb goal, and 141.5 if I want to be on track to reach my birthday goal... It's mid-month, and those numbers are seeming unrealistic already.

    I ran 4 miles yesterday! Whoo hoo! The scale likes me because of it...

    10/1: 146.4
    10/7: 144.8
    10/14: 143.7

    2.7 lb loss this month so far, I'm super happy about being back down to 143. This was the lowest place I got before I started to gain (3 years ago, then I got back down to 146 last year) so it's all down hill from here (up hill really, but you get the point)!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend. Wish me luck on my first 5k race tomorrow. After the race I'm drinking beer at the Oktoberfest festival. Should be a good time.
