Over the Hump

Ok, so maybe over the hump is a little optimistic, but I'm ok with that. This morning I was kind of dreading getting on the scale, terrified I would see once again, another gain, but to my pleasant surprise, I had a loss of .9 lbs. Can I get a "WOOT WOOT!" LOL. It was highly exciting. I am now back to my lowest weight since I started tracking this month. Is it a lot? no, but I'm not expecting miracles, I'm not expecting Biggest Loser numbers, I just want a healthy loss so I don't ever gain the weight back. So, onto my daily view

Tuesday:
Weight: 247.1 - Daily loss of .9lbs, total loss of 3.1 lbs

Breakfast:
2 eggs, 2 eggo nutrigrain waffles with strawberries and whipped cream

Lunch:
(Left overs)
1 serving of Sweet and sour chicken and 1 cup of rice

Snack:
Peanut butter and celery

Dinner:
(Left overs)
Corn chowder and chicken salad

Exercise:
1 hour Richard Simmon's Sweatin' to the Oldies 2

A side note on the exercise, after only 3 days of doing Sweatin' to the Oldies, I can already tell a huge difference in my body. Not necessarily in inches lost, but in the way I feel. I have a couch that once you sit down, it's very hard to get off the couch, but today, I noticed that instead of rolling off the couch, I was actually just standing right up... no hands on legs for support, no scooting to the edge, straight up. I also noticed that yesterday when I laid down on the floor to do the floor exercises, I screamed in pain  due to the sore muscles in my stomach, this morning, while still sore, no pain. During the exercise there are several spots of stretching. When I was younger I had no problems reaching my legs to do the stretches, but as I've gotten older and lost flexibility I've had a hard time reaching my legs to do the stretching properly, today, I could do almost every stretch. Not quite as well as when younger, but I still did them. I'm very happy and excited. I am finally starting to feel better than I have in a really long time. Out of the 13 days in this month so far, I have exercised for only 10, and already I'm seeing a vast improvement. I can't wait to see what else I can do.
