WEEK 27 RESULTS: I lost 4 lbs!

This brings me to 88.6 lbs lost total! :) :) I am thrilled with my results because it was a tough week. I had my cycle which brought with it cravings. Plus we went to the blueberry festival yesterday which was like a fat girls hell. But I did really well. I did other things while my family dined on homemade blueberry pancakes, I managed to find a plain grilled chicken sandwich for lunch and I looked the other way when it came to all the other junk. I did indulge. I had some chocolate covered strawberries (which are my favorite) and I few potato chips and some of a homemade pretzel. But we walked around for 7 hours, so I think I made up for it. I feel like I am starting to know my limits. How much I can indulge, before it makes me feel out of control.

My goal this month was to lose what I lost last month or more. I still have 1 week to go this month and I have already lost 7.8 which is more than last month! I attribute that to all the walking. I was planning on getting out there bright and early this morning, but the pitter patter of rain indicates otherwise.

This week I was going back to the YMCA to lift weights. But one of my students is a former boxer and he set up for me a 10 min am and 10-15 min pm routine, so I am going to give that a try first. I just don't feel like going to the gym, so I'd rather do what I can at home.

The BEST news is that I went o see the doctor yesterday and he was OK with me being off the cholesterol meds and he is letting me go off my blood pressure meds! I have no idea what going off my water pill will do to the scale, but it has to be done! I will monitor my blood pressure and as long as it stays in the normal range, we are good to go!
