Monday, May 10, 2010 (Day 107)

I weighed in yesterday morning at 178!  I was hoping to hit 180, and I broke that by a couple pounds!  I’m so excited.  In fact, I was so thrilled that I didn’t even go crazy on Mother’s Day like I was going to allow myself to.  I was planning to eat what I wanted and allow myself dessert.  I didn’t eat Yummy Potatoes (potatoes baked in sour cream, tons of sharp cheddar cheese, butter, topped with more cheese and Ritz crackers).  Instead I made me a plain potato with Velveeta cheese on it.   I didn’t feel deprived, it was yummy, but saved me TONS of calories and fat!  And for dessert, I had a single bite of chocolate pie and a single bite of Frozen Strawberry Dessert.  I was happy to have had a taste of both, but didn’t feel guilty about it one bit.  Then I hit the treadmill hard!  Not because I had to make up for eating, but because I was feeling so great.  I did my (new) regular pace of 3.7/3.8, except I did it at an incline of 4%.  I even did a 6% incline for a time.  And I did 4 mph for a time.  According to the treadmill I burned 500 calories.  But it didn’t know that I had weights in my hands for half the time, either.  J  I was sore after, but thankfully I can walk today.  Tomorrow might be a different story.  I couldn’t wake up on time this morning, so I’ll be doing The Biggest Loser workout tonight.  I weighed this morning at 179, but I’m sure I didn’t gain a pound.  I need to have a bowel movement that just doesn’t want to happen.  TMI, I know.  But I’m sure by tomorrow morning I’ll be back to 178 or 177.  Just a few more pounds to go and I get to take my 50 pounds lost pictures!!!  I can’t wait!!!  That’s my motivation this week!
