I weighed in last Thursday, April 7th and had lost 3 more pounds for a total of 51 so far!! The weight I am now is one I have not been at in MANY years.....at least before Isaiah was born (almost 13 years ago) and probably even longer. I can't even remember. My first goal with this journey was to reach 50 pounds so I have now reached that. The next goal is 79 pounds...mainly because that will put me at an even number (my weight) and I have OCD. Haha!!
Had a small victory this past weekend.....we went away to Newburgh, NY for Isaiah's baseball tournament. He really didn't need to be there until Saturday afternoon but a few friends were heading there on Friday evening just for fun, to let the boys swim, go out to dinner, etc. so we decided to as well. The hotel was a bit pricier than we usually spend but since we're not going anywhere during Spring Break, we decided to bite the bullet and go. We had a GREAT time! Went out to dinner Friday evening with friends and then back to the hotel to relax and hang out by the pool (for many baseball friends that also means drink LOTS of beer, SO not something I'm into...I'm such a bad Irish girl). lol Anyway....we were up a bit later than usual on Friday night (anything past 9pm is late for us these days) but we got up on Saturday morning and hit the treadmill at the hotel! That's the first time I've EVER done that. I loved it! Felt so proud of myself for continuing my new lifestyle & healthy choices, even while on a 'mini-vacation.' I made good food choices while there as well and found a new treat! My friend Anita recently had some dark chocolate-covered pomegranates at baseball practice and they are SO good!! It's perfect for a sweet treat without too many calories. A serving size is 180 calories but a serving size is 20 pieces! There's no way I'm eating 20 of them. lol I usually will have 5 or 6 just to get that sweet craving satisfied. We got them from BJ's (like a Sam's club or Costco).
We may possibly do another 5k this Saturday, we didn't register yet because we had to wait and see what time Isaiah's baseball games are this weekend but we found out now he may not play until Saturday evening. SO we may be able to run it after all! It's very close by so no worries about that.
Next weigh-in is April 21st, hoping to continue seeing results!
