Ok, I made it through the end of Week 3 and actually came out alright. Another 1.5 pounds down this week puts me at a total loss of 7.5 pounds... in 3 weeks! I really feel great and people are starting to notice. But when they say it to my face, I never really know how to say thank-you and not be embarrassed.

At my appointment this week, my dietician let me see and feel a pound of "fat". It felt more like a rubber ball, but was almost as big as both of my fists... and I've lost 7.5 of those. GROSS! It really did help give me extra motivation though.

Anyway, back to the week. I actually ate peanut M&M's and some of a Chocolate Charlie last Saturday -- oops! But I worked out really hard 5 days of the week and managed to still lose. Basically at the gym I'll do 35-40 minutes of cardio 4 or 5 days and I'll lift weights 3 days a week.

I vary the cardio between the treadmill, the stationary bike and the elliptical. Sometimes I switch it up with 1 minute of jumping rope for every 5 minutes on the elliptical.

Check back soon for a food diary of what I eat on a daily basis. I'll try to get some of those posted. Also, let me know how your own weight loss goals are coming along!
