Day 8 - Scale Time!

Starting Weight: 299

Current Weight: 294

Had my weekly weigh-in this morning. I'm down 5 pounds! That's GREAT! Next week I will take my measurements in addition to weighing-in. I can already see that something's happening, as my waist is already starting to come back.

Had the day off from work and wouldn't you know I went over my calorie allowance a smidge. As predicted, I was munchie all day. Maybe I should just work all the time. Oh wait, I already do, lol! It's a good thing there are no truly bad foods in the house, otherwise I'd be in trouble.

Didn't make it to the gym today. They closed early because of the holiday. I'm gonna get up and do my Walk Away the Pounds in a minute. I did it before bed last night and slept really well. The backs of my thighs have been sore all day. I'm guessing it's from the late night workout???

Didn't do anything productive today and that's just the way I wanted it. Didn't even clean my house. Just lazed around and relaxed all day. Now it's time for my workout!
