I was a little leery about weighing myself this morning since I had gained weight the previous two weeks.  However, my leeriness was unfounded because I lost 4.3 pounds this week! I’m ecstatic because I’m back on track.

My total weight loss is 16.8 pounds so I’m a little less than 10 pounds away from my first major benchmark.  I’m really excited to hit it!  I’m trying to decide between all the great ideas I got in the comments of my last weight-loss post to reward myself.  I like the idea of a new outfit or a book the best.  Jewelry would be nice, but jewelry has been irritating my skin lately so I don’t think I’ll add to that discomfort right now.

I’ve been a lot better with my exercise this week.  I’m getting up and walking on my treadmill before I go to work and I love it!  Even though I’m extremely tired in the morning, I feel so refreshed after I get done.  I feel more awake at work too.  I definitely need to keep up with this!
