My Report

So, I'm down 10 lbs. now.  I actually didn't think it was that much.  I hadn't weighed since I lost btw. 7 and 8.   Weighed today.  10lbs!  Mary has pushed me really hard on the cardio at the gym.  To the point of nausea.  No joke.  Fortunately, I haven't thrown up yet.  On the days I don't go to the gym I 've been pulling all the kids (close to 100 lbs.) in the wagon, all through the neighborhood, up hills, at the fastest pace I can stand.  That's really a workout.  My quads are burning after that and I'm huffing and puffing.  So, I said I needed to be creative.  That's my solution for now to get the extra cardio in.  I didn't make it to the gym today, b/c Scarlett and Drew both have coughs and runny noses.  Hopefully, I make it on Wed.  I did pull the wagon around today, but only with BG and Drew in it.  Scarlett insisted on walking around the neighborhood in her princess dress.  She pranced, while I pulled.  It definitely wasn't as hard without Scarlett's weight in the wagon.   Been doing pretty well on the diet.  I do kind of like Mark.  If I cheat, I make up for it at other meals by eating less calories than I normally would.  I'm not as hungry as I was to start with.  I guess my stomach has shrunk some.  Don't get me wrong.  I could pig out with no trouble at all, it's just not as torturous as it was the first week or two.  I'd love to have some Publix Heavenly Hash.....

  1. Jen - GREAT JOB!!! You're doing what it takes, and it working. Keep it up. I would love to have seen Scarlett prancing around the block in her dress. She's so funny - how she gets stuck on something and stays with it. "Do it againnn" girl.
