I checked out Bob Harper's The Skinny Rules from the library and have been reading it - great ideas for loosing weight!

I've been on the treadmill four days this week....

The other days, I've been walking the dog....

And I've been working the push-up app - here is day three - 

Now is time for the big weigh in....

Last Monday, I was 176 lbs

Today, I'm 175.

Hmmm....that sucks.

I'm not really sure how much I should be losing each week. I watch shows like "The Biggest Loser" and "Extreme Weight Loss" and those people are easily losing up to 10 pounds a week. I get that I'm not 400 pounds - but it seems like it should be more then a pound in one week.

I have been watching what I eat this week, but there have been a few late nights where the cravings were too much and I gave in. I bought some Chocolate Cheerios to help those chocolate cravings, and that helped. 

This next week, I need to focus more on

1. Drinking MORE water. 

2. Eating (a good) breakfast every morning.

3. I could stand to bump up my exercise some, but I think my biggest problem is food. Making sure I'm not doing any late-night snacking.

4. Weight training...check out the program from Dfit that I'm doing. 

(Last week I had a great comment from Bethany about brushing my teeth after dinner! Great tip!)

Thanks for checking in with me this week!
