Week 9, Day 5

Day 61

   I forgot to weigh myself yesterday!! Ugh! Talk about focus and I missed it.  Not a huge deal though.  I took care of that little problem this morning.  And guess what my weight is.  Seriously guess...  well it's: 256.5!  That makes 42.5 pounds lost, in two months.  I can remember just swearing I'll never lose it, but it's finally happening.  Staying focused on the diet, and getting low in those lunges.
   Today was a rough morning, I was feeling really discouraged after rolling over in bed and avoiding the workout.  I crawled into work 15 minutes late, and was feeling really depressed.  Been having a rough time sleeping lately (getting over a cold) and I've been really stressed about our move coming up next week.  Anyway, I got home, and pop'd the CD in right away.  "Core Synergistics." It was fitting to get back to the basics.  I can still only do about 6 of those "Prison-Cell Pushups" but everything else went ... smoothly..?  It wasn't easy, but it was fun, and ended up being a great workout.  Had an amazing sandwich for lunch, a couple power bars, and a yogurt so far today.  Probably have a small bowl of chili for dinner... but I should find somewhere to work in a fruit.  Maybe I'll cave in and make some smoothies.
   No idea how much more weight I need to lose here.  I'm still not where I want to be.  But I'm really encouraged that I'm going in the direction I want to for the first time in my life.
