So, I had a goal to lose 5 pounds this past week as it was my first week of really cleaning up my eating for the whole week and weekend (not just the week, then go crazy all weekend which is what I've been doing lately)... I ended up losing 4 pounds which is close enough for me to be happy.  I really feel terrific for doing this and already notice my body tightening up a bit more because of my consistent clean eating for just a week and a bit now!  I have marked what goal weight I want to be each week on my calendar to keep me on point to reach my various goals.  I also write down everything I eat, input it into fitday.com, then record my calories, carbs, fat, protein grams & percents, plus what workout(s) I do on each day on my calendar.  Speaking of workouts... I have been missing my early morning workouts a lot lately because my schedule has been different and I've been up later lately as we look for a house.  But, I have been teaching lots of workout classes and actually trying to push myself to take part through the whole workout and not just watch my students when I get tired.  It has been an eye-opener for me to feel how very sore I make people (ha ha - evil laugh!) - let me tell you after Pure Sweat on Monday and my noon-time workout class yesterday, this morning I could barely get outta bed!  I'm so sore and in so many great places like my butt and my abs! yay!  I always walk to work and all over pushing my son in a stroller, but lately I've been trying to push myself to walk faster so it's a real workout for me!
