When I stepped on the scale, I was shocked! I actually did a double-take. I lost 4lbs. last week! My waist and hips are down 2" and I lost 1" off my big ol' milk-filled chest. I am so excited about my progress. And to be honest, I'm so proud of myself. I have never stuck with exercise but I do have good self-control and discipline. Maybe it's from the years of modeling good behavior for my students. I am feeling so good though that there's no way I can give up.
I mentioned in my last post about losing weight that I love to cook. I'm a total foodie. So it's been kind of fun, like an adventure, to see what delicious meals I can make that are healthy and low-cal too. Notice I said delicious first. I'm not about to give up taste just to lower the calorie count.
Last night I made some amazing homemade pizza. It definitely wasn't low-calorie but I budgeted for it during the rest of my day since I knew I would be eating the majority of my calories at dinner. It was totally worth it. After a week of hard work (in the gym, chasing after the little guy, and tutoring two students) I felt ready for a little dinner splurge. And even better, today is my dessert day. Last weekend I had coconut-almond gelatto. It was heaven in a cup. I was going to take a picture of it but I couldn't wait to eat it. I'm still trying to decide what I want to have today.

Great progress! 4 lbs in one week is amazing! I am slowly losing my weight too...I have 13 lbs left until I reach my goal weight! Someone suggested that all I do was try to stay under 1200 calories a day, so I've been trying to do that (by tracking my cals on MyFitnessPal) and it's helped. Plus I am starting to finally get re-addicted to working out. Keep up the progress!
Hey Dagny! I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for stopping by yesterday. It was so fun to meet you. Your little guy was SO cute, too.
