jumping up and down

See that title up there? That is exactly what I was doing today in the middle of Wal-Mart.

I was jumping up and down for joy because I tried on a size LARGE and it fit!

I have been an XL for so long and was ecstatic to be in a different size. Granted, it was a sweater. But you want to know something? I really don't care. IT WAS A SMALLER SIZE!!!

another plateau

I HATE plateaus. I actually went back up a couple pounds. I can't believe how much weight can fluctuate throughout the day. I think I need to stay away from the scale for about a week or so. I've become addicted to stepping on that thing to see if I've lost any weight. And I get mad when I haven't. I've been bad in the past week and I'll be bad again on Thursday when I have Girl's Night Out. Food is good, but I don't need to eat everything I want to. I am grrrrrring at myself lately and I'm not happy.

goal

I've almost hit my first goal! When I stepped on the scale I weighed 200 pounds and I won't be 30 for two months (minus five days). I was so excited that I called my husband into the kitchen and he was excited with me. So cool.

Am I going to keep it up? HECK YES!!!!

Now I have to set another goal. That is probably the hardest part.

do it anyway

Last night I hurt my back picking up my youngest and taking him to the stairs. I decided I wasn't going to work out. Bad idea. After awhile I got over the pain and worked out anyway. Good idea. My back felt so much better after working out. I took it easy and did some resistance bands and I felt good about it at the end.

not liking it...

My sweet tooth ended last night. I tried my homemade blueberry cheesecake and I liked it, but I didn't want it. There must be something wrong with me. Or there could be something right.

too much

I can't keep away from sweet things this week. It must be that time of the month soon. Sometimes being a girl can be a pain.

plateau

Last week I was stuck on a plateau. Those things are horrible when you are trying to loose weight. I know that when you are really trying to loose weight, muscle is built up and that adds weight. I might not have lost any weight, but I did loose inches and that matters too.

Now that it is a new week, I am happy to say that I am off of my plateau and going down again.

Last night, in addition to doing my regular exercise, I washed a bunch of dishes while dancing to disco and I mopped the floor. Let me tell you that I was sweating up a storm by the time I finished all my chores and my exercising. My husband even said something about it. Ew, gross.
