****************

I actually feel really good about 1.3 pounds, considering I worked out once, sat on the couch all- literally ALL- weekend, and ate fairly poor. Not bad.

Also, I just have to point this out- I am so irritated that last week I lost .1 pounds- aka like an ounce and a half- and my BMI went down .1, and this week I lost 13 times that much and my BMI went down .2. Ridiculous.

There are some really encouraging things here, though. First off, I have officially lost over 20 pounds. In addition, I have cut over 6% of my body fat off of me and cut my BMI by over 3 points, and I am NEVER going to weigh over 350 pounds again. EVER. Sure, had I been more dedicated numbers would likely be double, but the fact is, I can't change that. I can celebrate how far I have come and stay focused on my renewed dedication to getting this junk OFF of my trunk.

Also, I am proud to report that I went to bed with a clean kitchen, the TV was a non-issue yesterday, I brushed my teeth at night (I know, kinda gross that I never used to, but I always figured they'd just get clean in the morning anyway), I worked on my abs last night, AND I got up and did strength training this morning. If you know me AT ALL then you know how incredibly monumental this is. Plus, I got to bed later than normal and still got up at 6:16 (it should have been 6... baby steps, people, baby steps!). I'll do cardio when I get home. Plus, last night's dinner (eggplant lasagna... basically, lasagna with eggplant strips instead of noodles) will be four meals for Jas and I so I don't have to cook again until Sunday. Glory!

Ok, work is insane so I have to get back to it :)

Yay for losing weight!
