Weight Lost This Week: – 2.8 lbs.
Weight Loss Still to Go: 2.4 lbs.
Yay! After last week’s disappointing gain, it’s so nice to see the work pay off this week. I’m half way through (4 weeks down, 4 to go) and I’m near my goal. Between Zumba, running and the elliptical, this was the week of the workout. Add to that my new second job, and eating has kind of become superfluous, you know? Get it tight, get it right – here’s how it went:

Nine years ago today I was taking a calculus test in a classroom at James I. O’Neill High School in Highland Falls, NY, about 2 miles from the campus of the United States Military Academy at West Point. My teacher stopped us all to tell us that something terrible had happened, but that he wasn’t going to elaborate and we should finish our tests. Bullshit. You can’t drop news like that and assume everything will go on as planned. I was doing pretty bad in that class though, so I probably wouldn’t have finished the test under normal circumstances anyway.
When the bell rang, I left my classroom only to hear my classmates on the phone with their parents, many of whom worked on West Point, or were officers in the Army. A friend of mine, on the phone with his father, a colonel, handed me the phone, because his dad was with my mom. I still hadn’t been told exactly what happened. “Mom? What’s going on?” And the line went dead. It was at that moment the Pentagon had been hit. The Towers would fall a little while later.

Weight Loss Still to Go: 5.2 lbs.
So I gained a pound this week, but I’m really not surprised considering I ate about 200 slices of apple pie, 400 oatmeal cookies and 27 bagels (trying to cut back on the carbs) on Sunday alone. Labor Day weekend really took a toll on my weight loss, but it’s just more motivation for next week right? Right?
Here’s the breakdown:
