I need a good week.

I need a good week.  Last week was ok but not what I want it to be.  So for this week I am recommitting to stay on track, exercise daily and keep it positive.

My goal is to lose 3 pounds this week.  Two for this week and 1 to make up for last!  I gotta see that scale move again! 

Walking up 10 flights of stairs to our hotel room = 50 calories burned

Walking to the convention center = 100 calories burned

Carrying the baby across town = 110 calories burned

Lifting weights in the hotel gym = 375 calories burned

Carrying the stroller up countless stairs = 75 calories burned

Losing weight on vacation = PRICELESS!

shrinking.

I have a confession to make.  I never dry my cloths!  I just don't want them to get any smaller so I have always hung them up.  Yeah, sure I have tried to convince myself from time to time that the reason I do this is to make them last longer but come on, how silly!  Anyway, I have started throwing my cloths in hot water and then the dryer one by one so they will SHRINK!  Yes, isn't it awesome!  I started this voyage wearing a size 18.  Now I just pulled that pair of skinnier pants off the shelf. You know the ones you bought months ago, brought them home only to find out that they are too small, so you keep them for that day that you can fit in them!  Well they now fit!  I am now wearing a size 12.  Not all 12's will fit me yet but I will take those pairs here and there that do to boost my ego!  I just can't wait for the single digits!

Oh, and I don't really like to brag on myself (or do I???) but I won the biggest loser contest.  Now my only dilemma is:  do I spend the $200 now on cloths or wait for those single digits and just keep hoping that the more I wash those cloths in hot the more they will shrink??
