Woooohoooo I finally got past the TWO-FORTY-SEVEN mark!!!  Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaw!!!!!!

It’s always so amazing when this happens - I lost 3 lbs. in just two days!  (I’m on day 5 of Tom so it was water retention.)  Helps to make up for the 1 lb. gain that I had to record for last week!  Sure, last week I made a commitment to a new higher level of weight loss and immediately I have to log in a gain instead of a loss!  Figures!

I’m trying to work my way up to an hour on the elliptical.  Last night I managed to make it through forty minutes!  I was only planning thirty but when I got that far, I pictured Jillian from TBL yelling at me to keep going.  “I don’t care if you’re tired!  I don’t care if your feet are numb!  I don’t care if your feet fall off, just keep going!”  LOL, it’s a good thing that woman makes up for her meanness with a warm and caring heart!!

I’ve had a weird little side-effect to the weight loss.  Ha!  I’ve never heard anyone else mention this in relation to weight loss so I just think it’s funnier than hell.  Okay here it is:  I’m shorter when driving.  I am!!!!  I’ve apparently lost some “padding” in my ass because now I have to adjust the steering wheel in my husband’s Jeep!!  Hubby says that pretty soon he’s going to have to buy me a pillow to sit on, because if I lose any more padding I won’t be able to see over the steering wheel at all!!!
