end of Making the Cut

Loved this program and I know that I will do it again. I recommend getting the book. It finished last week but I keep forgetting to get my measurements before I ate. Today I finally said "oh well" because I wanted to get it posted.

lost 4.25 inches and 7 pounds
And to think, it would've been more had I been more disciplined with he diet.

I started another fit camp on Monday and after much meditation, I have committed myself to sticking to the eating program for the 6 weeks. In the long run, 6 weeks is nothing. EXCEPT, I am making cinnamon rolls this weekend for General Conference and I will eat one. All that time and labor, you better believe I'll eat one. And I know Cloe and I will make an apple pie in October, I will eat some of that as well. 2 exceptions, not bad, still have got to live :)

dang it, I've got to stay accountable

week 3 MTC (making the cut for those of you who don't know)
Sunday: dinner at the in-laws
Tuesday: my brothers family was in town so family dinner
Friday: date (Pizzeria 712, so good, try it!)
Saturday: the kids got coupons for Red Robin free kids meal, so dinner out.

This morning I was up to 178.2, please be water weight!
I'm still digging these workouts. AND, I signed up for another triathlon. It's the last one of the season, November 7th, so after MTC, it's time to start training. I had a hard time getting into it but now I have 3 friends doing it so I'm pretty excited.

week 2 MTC

great news!! Mid July, as you know, I was down to 176. Since then, as you know, I've gotten up to 182. Well last week with my loss, I gave all the credit to water weight. But I think I can take some credit now because this morning I was back down to 176.3!!!! I seriously stepped on the scale 5 more times just to double check. I even made sure it was on level ground and there wasn't anything under it making it uneven. I'm totally noticing a difference in my belly. Glad about that because I was trying really hard to not get disgusted with how it had changed over the last few weeks. Just felt really bloated. I have to say it again, her workouts are awesome. I sweat so much! I'm at the halfway point and a little nervous about how to maintain, I've never really done that before.
Hopefully I'll see a NEW, lower number next week that I haven't seen in years!!
