So I lost 5.6 pounds last week. I worked out every single day except Thursday, and went over my excersise goal of 300 mintutes..... 490 to be exact. No gym tonight. I have my food planned out and logged for the day.

I love to see this kind of pay off. It's so hard.....SO hard. But it's totally worth it.

I got rid of some skirts that were too BIG yesterday. One was a maternity denim skirt I'd been wearing because nothing else would fit over my ass and belly and the other was a denim skirt that back in January I had to struggle to wear because the waist was too tight. I wore it the other day and it almost fell down.

I also moved up a level in silver to level 5. This feels so good. Such a great turn around from last week when I was so depressed about the miniscule gain.

I have to make sure that I have food in the house so that when I get hungry I don't gobble down the bad choices I will make if I'm uber hungry. I'm burning around 900-1000 calories at the gym so I stay pretty empty and it's hard not to eat anything I see.

I'm still logging all my exercise in my activity planner so it doesn't eat into my calorie targets for the day, once I get past gold it won't matter anymore about not getting those checks as long as I'm not eating back all my calories or going over my calorie target for the day.

Another thing that I can't wait for is bike riding. I need to get my bike to the bike store so that I can get it ready for some serious riding when the warm weather hits......I heard it's supposed to be 70 this week sometime.....hmmmmmm.....it's been a while though. When I was riding 2 years ago I was riding 15-20 miles almost everyday....I miss it very much.

So I put those clothes up in the attic at the beginning of February.....I'm giving myself a goal of July 1 until I can get them down and try them on. I wonder what will fit, be too small, or too big? It's something to look forward to.

It would be so freaking cool if I could do 5 pounds a week for the next 5 weeks.....

There's no harm in trying right?
