I LOST I LOST....BOY did I Lose!!

I just returned from my weigh in.......I.....LOST.....12.6 pounds!!!!!!!!!

I could not believe it!  I kept asking the weight recorder are you sure??!!!  I was pretty shocked...I just could and still can not wrap my mind around it!

I know this is just the first week water weight loss.  But I'm still pretty EXCITED!  It really gives you great motivation to keep moving forward.

I watched what I ate all week.  I was very cautious of what I've put in my mouth.  I worked out everyday one day I did Sweatin to the Oldies III.  The rest of the week I did Wii Biggest Loser.  I love that "game".  You really get a great work out.  You pick the intensity.

How is your week going?

1st week

Well I must say my first week is going GREAT!  I've got in 3 days of exercise, followed my eating plan with no cheats!!  That in itself is a huge accomplishment for me.  My biggest problem is snacking, especially at night when the children are in bed. 

We bought a Wii a few weeks ago and my wonderful husband surprised me with the Biggest Loser game.  BOY that is NOT a game at all.  You actually get a full work out.  I have muscles in my body I never knew exsisted!! LOL!  My whole family loves doing the workouts.  It is great to be doing this as a family.  At the beginning of the week I thought my hubby wasn't on board with me loosing weight, but I think he is seeing how good it makes me feel.  Not only that but he told me this morning that he feels great as well.  We are not eating junk.  I thought it would be difficult for me to give up on the sweet things, but so far so good. 

I also dug down deep on my cookbook shelf and found a couple of great books.  My husband also surprised me with another cookbook, "So Easy..by Ellie Krieger"  There are a lot of "weird" recipes in there but many more really good ones that I can not wait to try.  I will post the review of certain recipes when I make them.  I am REALLY enjoying tasting food again.  How all the flavors come together is so wonderful.  I'm SO looking forward to Monday's weigh in. 

So how is your week going?
