Week 2 - Down another 1.5 pounds

So that is 3.5 pounds in a little over two weeks - YAY! The vacation weight is gone, now comes the hard part.

Last week was another mixed week but it's all about baby steps, right? After the long hike on Sunday, I ran on Tuesday and Thursday and walked Rumble on the off days. So decent work outs.

I also ate more at home and tried to make healthier choices when eating out. Even split an entree and appetizer with Jen when out for dinner on Friday. AND refused to eat all the beer battered cheese curds at the game on Sunday - just a taste and then no more.

This week is going to be more difficult and I'm going to have to focus to keep up my momentum. I went to the gym this morning, packed my lunch and ate leftovers for dinner. I also started tracking my food/calories again which always helps. Going to try and go for another hike or long walk this weekend, depending on the weather.

So down 3.5 pounds, 1.5 till my first reward. I've already pretty much given up soda - just the occassional pop with lunch.

I'll think I will go ahead and make my salon appointment - that should help keep me focused on the next 1.5 pounds. Keep your fingers crossed!
