It is now week 7 into this madness of trying to loose weight.  I am actually quite surprised this morning as I weighed myself in because I just started a new job, which requires me to be there at the lovely time of 4:45am (UGH!), hence, I've been slacking in the exercise department.  But upon seeing the scale this morning, I got a big ole grin that ran across my face.  I lost 3lbs this week.  So, that brings my weight to 201lbs.  So damn close to being in the 190s, but 2 lbs away.  I'm not sure what brought on this 3lbs loss this week.  Could be that I switch drinking regular sodas to diet, could be that I am more active now because of my job, could be that I am actually eating all 3 meals a day (I am known for skipping breakfast...the most important meal of the day, I know).  Whatever the cause was, I am happy with my 3lb loss this week.  Makes me want to get back on my workout schedule for this upcoming week.  It should be easy to do since, I have Monday and Tuesday off, that will be my push it days, like my last minute workouts or something.  Anyways, don't know what my mother, my partner in this competition, lost...but I'm sure she'll be calling me later on to let me know if she lost any or not.
