Week Eight- Double Digits

It has been 8 weeks since I started my weight loss and healthy eating journey and I finally lost into the double digits!!  I am at 10.5 pounds lost now...9.5 pounds to go.

Food:
Eating has been fine minus a couple of meals out.  Even then I didnt go too crazy, but I enjoyed myself.  I take that back...the chips and queso at Fuzzy's Taco Shop was a little crazy!  ha.  I made a commitment to cook at home all last week (week days) and I did.  It is nice to know what is actually in my food.

Workout:
I worked out 7 times last week...4 Jazzercise sessions, 2 personal training sessions, and a swim in my parents pool.  I actually feel stronger and less out of breath!!

Goals:
My goal this week is to just keep doing what I am doing...cooking at home, working out, recording my food intake, staying positive.  I have felt a little discouraged at times because I am not losing as fast as I would like to.  BUT, I need to keep reminding myself that at least I AM losing.  That number IS going down on the scale slowly but surely.  I may not be down 20 pounds by the time I go to the doctor in a month, BUT I will get there.  I will!!

Side Note:
I will be taking a short break from all of this for about a week in the near future, but after seeing the doctor.  My husband and I are going on a cruise and I am sorry but I will be eating a dessert here and there AND I will be eating pizza at midnight AND I will indulge on steak and lobster and who knows what else!!!  :)  I did plan some excursions where we will be kayaking, swimming and walking a lot.  I might even use the workout room on the ship, but that is highly unlikely.  ha
