Weigh In - Week 23

I spent the week sans husband.  It was a tough week on my own with two little ones, but I managed to start something BIG: boot camp.  I've been wanting to kick my weight loss into high gear - waiting for the right time.  But as we all know, if we wait for the "right time", it never comes.  I had my first boot camp class on Friday.  I'll be going twice a week to start and then we'll see where that leads.

I'm also back at the walking routine.  I've found a lovely two mile loop in my neighborhood that follows a local creek.  Its a beautiful, tree-lined walk and I can do it with or without a stroller.  My plan is to do boot camp on Wednesdays and Fridays with at least two power walks between Saturday and Tuesday. 

Food for the week was simple and nutritious -mostly salads and nuts and avocado sandwiches, etc.  I caved and had THREE separate Starbucks runs.  But when you've got a four year old asking 5.8 questions a second and a 15 month old on the verge of a leaky diaper, you need something to keep you sane.  So this week, caffeine and sugar came to the rescue. 

Pounds lost this week: 2

Total pounds lost: 39
