I was chatting with a friend the other day and she said, "I hope this doesn't come across as bragging, but I've lost 10lbs since I started losing weight!" Bragging? Heck NO!

I'm so happy it's Friday, work has been busy for us this week. At the beginning of the week I felt so good, I even tried on a pair of jeans I hadn't worn in over a year...they were still snug. The scale was down and I was really feeling good about things. This morning when I weighed in it was up 1 pound. Why?? maybe all the Oklahoma burritos decided to show up. I don't know.

I didn't post weigh in last week, because I was SO defeated. After a week of eating and exercising perfectly, I had gained 1.6 pounds.
