Jen's weigh-in.

Hey ya'll. I'm down 2.4 lbs. this week. I had a goal to get below a certain number this week, and when I hit it on Wednesday, I was doing the happy dance. Then this morning I was down a tiny bit more. I did five 38 min. runs and one 80 min. walk this week. I also did weights twice, which wasn't as much as I had hoped. I ate pretty well, with the exception of lunch at Taco Time, but I still managed to stay well within my calorie allowance. I'm 2.6 pounds away from my next goal...I yell the number at myself while I run. I'm weird that way.

I'm hoping this week goes well because I'm not kicking it off well....Girl Scout cookies arrived today (I've had one tagalong, one samoa, and four thin mints). My schedule probably isn't going to allow me to workout today, plus we are going out to dinner for our anniversary. I'll have to eat well and workout hard tomorrow to make up for it!

A find that I've been enjoying....there are these bagels and english muffins called "the alternative bagel" put out by Western Bagel...you can find them at WalMart in the refrigerated section right by the cream cheese. They are 110 cals, have 7 gr of fiber, and 6 gr of protein. Good way to curb the carb fix and get some fiber in. I like them a lot (yes, I do put cream cheese on them....a girl has to live, people). I've been drinking less Dr. Pepper, but I can't/won't completely cut it out. I've been trying to at least drink diet Dr. Pepper when I crave it. I don't really love the diet Dr. Pepper, so I actually think that has helped me stop drinking it as much.

Good luck!
