It's Holy Week and I'm staying close to Him and fasting from social media.. even my blog.. but I had to jump on here to keep my commitment to you sweet girls and Losing It.. and to scream. In a good way.
Here's a snap shot...
Check in on the goals:
- Work out at least 4 times a week (elliptical, bike, treadmill) - Just completed Week 4 of Couch to 5k, 2 miles on the elliptical and walked the dogs yesterday on the green way.
- Weight Watchers online. I'm keeping track really well. It is really working.. I can tell when I over eat now. I am so stinking grateful!!!!
- No more soda. I LOVE CRYSTAL LITE! :)
- Slowly start cutting back on sweets/carbs. Yep...another week day of a pasta serving sent me over board with 7 turkey meatballs... I was HUNGRY and they were good... :) I had 4 of them while cooking them.. :(
- Drink 1 gallon of water a day. :)
I've just completed week 6, I have lost a total of 14.5 pounds.. it equals 6.14% of my weight and I hit the milestone!!!!!!! I discovered this week when I took a day off running that the 2 miles on the elliptical felt like I hadn't worked out at all. I imagine my body is beginning to need me to kick it up a notch. This week will be key. The 5k trainer has me running 5 and walking 3 alternatively. I just might die.
What is on your Easter menu this weekend? I have successfully stayed away from all chocolate.. but I think there might be something sweet in my future! :)
Share your menu!!
Lobs ya,
Love you and I am SOOOOOO proud of you!

FANTASTIC! You are doing so great. Super impressed with your weight loss and exercise.
Keep up the good work!
Eater goodies are totally in my future. I plan to celebrate our risen Savior with my loved ones without worrying (too much) about what I'm eating.
Sorry if this is posting twice. I posted once already but didn't see it show up.
Happy Easter!

WOW! Congratulations on your 6.14% loss! You are rockin'!
Easter is kind of on-the-road this year. We're going to West Chester University to pick up our daughter, go to a local church there, brunch, then back home. So our Easter dinner is simplified this year: ham, mac and cheese, green beans...and something for dessert. Not sure what though.
You are inspiring me to work harder. Thank you!

Target's brand of Crystal Light is calorie free. I LOVE the lemonade. I've started putting a little sugar free raspberry Torani syrup in it. MMM.
Congrats on the fantastic loss.

You are doing SO great! SUCH an inspiration!
As for me, I'm happy to say that I turned down chocolate cake yesterday. I didn't turn out Mexican takeout or a few bites of my daughter's Easter candy. But I turned down CHOCOLATE CAKE! :)
