Day 7 - Drumroll please.......

The most dreaded or looked forward to day of the week: weigh in day. Now not to say that I'm scared or anything, but I really, really, want this diet to work and I know that I've tried hard to not only maintain a healthy diet and exercise this week, but I have had a few slip ups (pizza on Sunday with a few buffalo wings...yes, I know! The temptation was too strong.) So needless to say I approach the scale with more then a few hesitations. Now as you might remember from my first post my original start weight was 171 lbs for my little 5'4 frame. So I definitely needed to lose some weight. I figure a few pounds a week will help me to lose the weight I want to and as per many of your recommendations the more healthier I am in trying to lose the weight, the better off I am in keeping it off for the long haul. Ok so enough stalling and trying to find ways to avoid that horrible metal object we call a scale...here goes nothing....

167! Oh my gosh! I've lost 4 pounds! That might not seem like a lot but, wow! 4 pounds in one week! I love it! Ok so I definitely took longer in getting back here to finish writing this because I totally did that full body look in the mirror to see if I could tell where those four pounds came from. No luck, but at least my boobs still look the same size (lol, it might sound stupid, but I am seriously worried that my breast size will decrease and I actually like those!). Anyway, I can't believe it! I'm so excited! Now I've got renewed energy and will power to keep me going for the next few days...which I'll need tomorrow, as it's Tuesday, and it's my double work day!

Oh I'm on cloud nine now....Monday here I come! Oh, but the bathroom is calling me first! Thanks so much for all your support, its so amazing to have people supporting and giving advice! The next 4 pounds are for you guys! ;-)

congratulations! and don't beat yourself up for a few "slip-ups", they're going to happen, let yourself enjoy them once in awhile. :) sounds like youre doing well so far-- and good that you're drinking that much, so you arent just losing water weight.
