Week 9

So this morning I'm really excited to report that I weighed in at 181.0. :D I was feeling much better this week. My daughter is finally starting to sleep through the night and getting more sleep is definitely a blessing for me. I'm still on antibiotics (today is my last day) and I have a sneaky suspicion that the 12 hour sudafed I was taking was giving my metabolism a boost. I'll take it though, loosing 3 lbs in 1 week is exciting. The best part is that I am now fitting back into my size 12s. To some of you that still may seem like a big size but to me that is normal. I was a size 12 in high school, so it is so nice to be back in them. I still want to loose more (only 6 more lbs to go before I reach my goal for this challenge!!!!) but I'm so happy with myself right now. I even got to go for a run this week. The weather was so nice on Sunday that I just had to take advantage of it. I also tried out the Drums Alive workout at the oakgrove community center. Its like Zumba but you have drum sticks and you hit those giant exercise balls with them. Its a good workout and fun, although I think I do prefer Zumba. I'm still sore from all the lunges and squats though. :) I think I want to really challenge myself this week and see if I can make it into the 170s for next weeks weigh in. Wish me luck!!
