Glorious! Today couldn't have started off better. I got up and saw the scale say I've dropped 4.4 lbs this week!! I love feeling like this is working and this is happening. So far I'm officially 23.2 lbs down in 7 weeks. That is 1.8 away from being a quarter of the way there. Saying it like that sounds kind of daunting sometimes, but it's true.
After that I went to church and one of my girl friend's asked me if I've lost a little weight. I smiled and said yes, but didn't want to blurt out "YES! 23 freaking pounds!!" and she commented on how hard it was and how she was giving up. She is about 5'8" and even after 4 kids, the youngest of which is about 18 months, looks amazing. She doesn't know what hard to lose looks like! Still, it was great to have someone that doesn't know how hard I'm trying comment that it looks like it's working.
We came home and I had a sensible lunch and have been craving snacks ever since! I have my workout gear on to motivate me to go tonight, so maybe that will kill some time and keep my face out of the fridge. Especially after a not-too-fun email from a client telling me how to do my job. Love those. That's not a stress eating trigger for me at all...
My goal for the week is to drink lots more water. On Tuesdays it's easy to bring my water bottle to class with me and have to fill it up a second time while I'm there, so I'm getting in minimum of 48 oz. in the morning. Other days, I don't think about drinking anything at all unless there's a Diet Dr. Pepper in the fridge. I should train myself better. I guess that's what this week is for!
