153.6 pounds. That’s what my scale read this past Sunday when I weighed in for the first time in a month. This is down from the 155 the scale told me several weeks ago, i.e. after the trip to New Orleans. I have officially hit over 10 pounds lost. YAY!!

I must be doing something right because I truly haven’t been following any formal plan since New Orleans. I haven’t been weighing in, and I haven’t been journaling my food intake. I started to keep track this week to make sure I am not getting into bad habits again, but I am quite proud of the fact that I have managed to continue to lost weight without strictly following the guidelines.

On the exercise front, soccer practices started again. This means 90 minutes of sitting at a soccer field twice a week. While it hasn’t exactly warmed up to temperatures I want, it is above freezing these days, and that means I get to start back up with running again. I am going to start back with one of the earlier weeks of the program since it has been so long since I have done any form of exercise. It will be slow-going but with the advent of spring and the longer daylight hours, I know I can actually finish the program this time and keep going. This is my story and I’m sticking to it!
