A gain

This week I had my first gain since June.  It's all good though, and I"m not letting it get me down.  I know it's part water retention from eating too much sodium, and part muscle gain from increasing my workout intensity. 

I'm up but not down!

I weighed myself today and I was up 2 lbs.  It's all good though; I'm pretty sure it was just water retention because I had a ton of sodium yesterday.  I'm doing everything right.  Eating well, exercising, drinking lots of water.  I'm confident the scale will come back down.
I went to the gym this morning and had a great workout on the stair stepper and the treadmill.  Yup, I burned over 800 calories!  Woohoo!  :)

Proud

I'm feeling especially proud of myself today.  It was weigh in day and I showed a 4.2 pound loss.  I'm quite sure a lot of that was water I had been previously retaining, but I'll take it.  It puts me that much closer to my goal of being under 235 for my mom's wedding on October 8. 
In other news, I wore a dress to work today.  I haven't worn a dress to work in over ten years.  Leggings are amazing!  I got lots of compliments from my co-workers and students.  It felt good to feel good about how I looked.

Kickin' some ass!

I continue to kick ass with my workouts.  It feels so good to burn 600 or 700+ calories in one workout.  I never thought I would say this, but I LOVE WORKING OUT!  There, I said it!  My husband has been an awesome support and he's helping me train.  I love that he's so supportive. 

In other news, I did some shopping this weekend and bought myself some new bras.  Pretty bras with underwires.  No more floppin' around for the girls!  :)

I need another day off.  Hopefully the week goes quickly.
