2 pounds

Last week I gained 0.8 pounds.  Ugh.  I don't know why.  I was sure I had gained this week, too.  I just felt like I had.  I did everything the same except I had gone out one night and had a salad and a couple small margaritas. Still staying within my total points.  Well, I lost 2 pounds this week for a total loss of 11 pounds!  Just 6 pounds away from my 10% goal and 18 away from my ultimate goal.  I am feeling great, I am fitting into smaller pants.  I got rid of my bigger clothes.  This is going well and I'm happy with it.  It's been way too cold to go outside to walk so I've been trying to do things inside.  I've done the Zumba on the wii, but I need to use it on the bigger TV because I can't read the small print and did 3 warm-ups instead of a whole workout.  I also did some yoga from the fitness on demand.  Unfortunately I am more out of shape than I thought I was and I can't do an entire routine.  I just need to keep working on it, though.  Keep doing what I'm doing and I'll continue to be successful.  I hear these people in the meetings who are so gung-ho that all they eat is salads and fruit.  I can't do that, though.  I have to live.  So I eat "regular" food, too.  There is nothing wrong with that.  And some people don't eat their total points for the day, which is not recommended.  I feel like I'm doing what is right for me.  Either way, whatever I am doing is working.

I need to start getting ready for my next 5K, the Sharin' O' The Green on March 12.  That's 5 weeks away.  While it's cold out I can probably use the Wii.  I think there is a walking/jogging routine on the fit plus program.
