Day 15

I woke up this morning (yay morning!) and the first thing that I did was weigh myself. I am very pleased to announce that since last Monday I have lost four pounds! I now weigh 238.4 lbs, which puts me (almost) on track with my original goals schedule. Hopefully by next week I will be ahead of schedule.

Anyways back to today, for breakfast this morning I had a jalapeno, mozzarella, and turkey omelette with a slice of whole grain bread. I ended up going shopping with Kylla for a few hours and didn't have lunch until late, but I had some leftover baked penne, and steamed edamame with sea salt. I went to the Colvin around six, and sadly it wasn't as empty as it was last time, but it was still nice not to have too many people around. While I was there I did 15 minutes of fat burn on the stationary bike, 15 minutes of cardio, and 5 minutes of cool down. Today's workout was pretty difficult for me to get through, probably because I am still sore from Saturday. After the bike I went on the StairMaster for ten minutes. Then I went downstairs and did 100 reps on one of the hip abductors, and 50 reps on the machine whose name I still don't know (the biceps/ triceps one). Next I used the AbCoaster, and finished by doing 40 sit ups on the upside down bench thing. For dinner I had taco salad with romaine, cilantro, jalapenos, salsa, ground turkey, black beans, tapatio, mozzarella, fat free sour cream, and two baked corn tortillas. For dessert I had the last serving of my Ben & Jerry's Greek FroYo.

This picture was taken on the tenth, just so that you have an idea of where I was starting from.

We were celebrating Heather's (pictured center) birthday if that helps to explain the silly string. Kylla is on the right.

Here I am today.

I'm not sure if it's really noticeable or not, but I definitely feel a difference in my body. I feel much stronger than I have before. I also feel like my arms and butt seem a little smaller. My work pants are a lot looser in the booty area too. I know this is just the beginning but I really so believe that this time I am going to make it!
