Under 140!!!!!

After 10 years of trying, I've finally achieve my goal of being under 140 pounds!!!! Although, it's not official with my WW weigh-in yet (I have to wait until Saturday), I hit that magic number of 139.0 on my home scale yesterday morning! It was a complete shock as just the day before I was 141.4. So I dropped 2.4 pounds literally overnight! I don't know what I did, I think it was just my body being ready to give it up. I've been working so hard the last month with the scale hardly budging, and then this past weekend overindulged a bit at a baby shower and totally exceeded my weekly points allowance by 29 points. My workout on Monday wasn't that great and I only burned 250 calories. But for some reason, conditions allowed my body to drop those pounds. So am I saying, forget eating right and working out hard? No way, I'm saying keep on keeping on with what is proven to work, have fun now and then, and your body will respond in it's own time.

I had a great workout yesterday. Probably because I was on cloud 9 about my weight loss. I did my favorite Step class and Abs Lab:

Workout Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes
In the zone: 45 minutes
Average HR: 136 (for Step) 126 (overall)
Maximum HR: 163
Calories: 510

This morning, the scale was my friend again as it says I've lost another 1/2 pound! Let's hope this holds true for my weigh-in on Saturday! If so, I'm only about 2 pounds away from my goal weight! If I keep going at this rate, I just might make my original goal date of my son's birthday in 2 weeks!
