Current weight: 210.4. Total weight loss: 39.6 lbs.

So close to FORTY pounds lost!

Since the scale finally moved, I decided to try on a pair of gray work pants I've had for a while, but haven't fit me in years and years.  I tried them on a couple weeks ago and they were just too tight but today, they slid right on and fit perfectly.

It's times like these, that all of this hard work makes it worth it.  The good eating, the workouts, the water...

I've been trying to up my protein intake to 80-100 grams per day and it hasn't been easy.  Today I had 75g, yesterday 96g, Monday 66g, Sunday 76g...I'm all over the place.  To help get me there, I bought some protein bars -- Quest, Luna, another brand...they all taste pretty good, but it was the Quest bar that was the most filling and satisfying.  And it has 20g of protein in one bar!

The training class on Tues/Thur is going well.  I definitely feel challenged each time.  I really have to push myself to make it to the 60 minute mark, though!  And I need new workout shoes that give me more support/structure since I'm bouncing around so much.

Someone I used to work with passed me in the hallway this morning and I smiled at him and continued on my way.  He had turned around at some point and came to find me in the cafeteria and said, "Oh my gosh, I didn't recognize you!  You're the incredible shrinking woman!"  That made my day and I felt great today anyway, so I guess it showed.

Looking forward to whatever's coming my way...
