A new week

Today is Sunday, which starts my new week. I weighed today-lost 2 pounds! I think it's pretty good considereing I was at the absolute upper limits of my points the whole week. Actually, I was over, because last Sunday after I weighed, I binged and had a Big Mac value meal with regular Coke, some pizza, some chocolate covered cashews, and 2 hot fudge sundays (not all at once, though!) So that probably put a damper on the whole week. I don't even want to think about how many points that was. So, 2 pounds down (I'm actually down 4 pounds for the whole year-woo hoo!), and I'm starting a brand new week. I've gotten a much better start to this week!

I started watching a new show this week called "I want to look like a high school cheerleader again" on CMT. It's about former cheerleaders who have gained weight and need help losing. The trainer is the guy who trains the Dallas Cowbows Cheerleaders. Anyway it's kind of a fun show, but I got irritated because none of them are really that big, and the heaviest one still weighs 40 pounds less than me. Plus I can tell she's really tall. Anyway. I'll probably keep watching it because I like weight loss shows. It'll still be inspiring to watch them lose and tone up.

I am going to my grandmother's this weekend, so my goal is to save as many points as possible. We all know how grandmas cook!

I went to the gym earlier and worked out on the cross trainer for 30 min (2.17 miles, 252 calories burned if you believe the machine). I also did some lower body weights and exercises. I should add that I walk over to the gym (I live in apartments) and it is about 8 minutes round trip, so that's a little more exercise, too. When I got the gym today, I got on the machine and put my earphones in and tried to turn on my ipod, and it didn't work :( I had to work out with no music!!!!! I am very proud of myself for still doing it. I sure was tempted to just not work out but I remember that those kinds of excuses and laziness are how I got to where I am today, so I buckled down and did it!

I've drank 8+ glasses of water/crystal light today, and only 2 cans of pop.

Here's to a good week!
