Monday Weigh In - Good News!


I have surprised even myself - another 4 pounds down last week!  That means I've lost 14 pounds since starting back on my low-carb diet and walking regimen only 1 1/2 weeks ago.  It also means that I'm about half-way toward reaching my first goal of losing 29 lbs (10% of my body weight as of 3/25).

Exercise: Last week I walked all the way home from work 3 days and part-way home the other 2 days.  In total this probably adds up to almost 10 miles for the week.  And to top it off, I did an hour of aerobics at my apartment last night.

Diet:  I only cheated once, and it wasn't major.  One of the servers at my restaurant left a STACK of Girl Scout cookies in the office for days, and finally I couldn't take it anymore.  I totally swiped a box of Lemon Chalet Cremes - but then only ate about 4 of them, felt guilty (not for the theft, for cheating on my diet), and threw them away.


This week will be challenging.  The Minx will be in NYC this weekend, and we plan on meeting on Friday and Sunday for lunch/dinner/whatever.  Sunday's meeting will be at ... ARBY'S (!!), so I'm going to have to be extra good this week to make up for cheating a little over the weekend.

How was YOUR week??
