LJ Weighs In

So, my lovely baby woke me up this morning at 5:45am. My first thought was one of wishing to go back to sleep. My next thought was of excitement and dread because I remembered that today is Wednesday...weigh in day! I wanted to see if I had lost any weight, but at the same time I was really afraid to look at the scale if in fact I didn't lose any weight. Well, I jumped on and waited for the number to appear. There it was....203! It wasn't much, but it was SOMETHING. Three pounds isn't quite the numbers they would see in the first week of The Biggest Loser, but I'm not in that boot camp style environment either. I'm happy. Very happy with three pounds!

Now, for this next week I am breaking out the 5lb. weights and keeping them in the kitchen. Since I spend a lot of time in the kitchen with cleaning dishes, making meals and cleaning more dishes, I'm going to set the two weights on the counter so I can use them while I'm doing other things. I had done this before and had seen some results so I'm going to start it again. Also, for the past 3 days I've been taking the 4 flights of stairs every time (as long as I don't have my hands filled with groceries AND the baby). I'm going to continue this. My kids are loving that we get to take the stairs and I'm going to keep it that way!

I am so anxious to see your progress, OJ. How are you doing with the lack of soda? Is it so hard? Are you craving it? Can't wait to hear from you!
