Friday, June 4, 2010 (Day 132)

Well, I’m back down to 178.  That’s the last weight I was at my official weigh-ins before vacation.  I got down to 176, but not on my Sunday weigh-in.  So I’m going to consider myself caught up.  I’m pleased that the weight is just dropping off this week.  I knew taking a week break would be good to get over my plateau.  I think 175 is actually well within reach now that my body is confused.  Did the treadmill Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  This morning I did The Biggest Loser workout.  I’m glad I can still do it.  I thought I would have lost strength for not exercising for 10 days, but I seem to be okay.  I’ve been able to rock the treadmill at 3.8 mph.  I felt like I could have run, but I don’t want to.  I don’t want to injure my joints.  It’s just as good of a workout walking, I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need to run.  So I’m happy with this week’s workouts!  And my willpower this week!  We still have leftover desserts, chips, potato salad, everything from the weekend that I would LOVE to eat.  Oh, including my 2 king size Reese’s peanut butter cup packs (8 large cups).  I’m doing good though and not eating them.  Not even tempted because the scale is being so good to me!
