Week 4 - Down 1/2 pound

So that is 4 pounds in my first month - not too shabby! And to think I didn't want to weigh in today. First, I had too much beer and Mexican food this past weekend. Second, I feel like I am retaining about 20 pounds of water. But after a decent workout this morning, I decided to suck it up, pull up my (slightly smaller) big girl panties and just get on that scale. YAY ME!

So other than the beer and over-indulging over the weekend, last week was a pretty decent week. I worked out consistently and tracked my food. I've also gone 10 days without soda which is huge!!

This week I am continuing to focus on working out and tracking my food. I'm also going to try and not go crazy over the weekend, which is my weak point. One day is fine, but I really don't need to go crazy Friday through Sunday. I also need to start adding in weight training, at least once next week.

On an inspirational note, one of the women at my work just reached a weight loss of 101 pounds! So very happy/proud of her and whenever I think of getting up, I remind myself of what she has accomplished and it helps me to keep going.

Thanks again to everyone for your words of encouragement and it's time to start Month 2!
