8 pounds down

It's been about a month and I am down about eight pounds.  For three mornings in a row, I've weighed in at 193. I feel like I have to do it a few times for it to be real, not just a skinny fluke it something.  Three years ago, I went to the doctor for my 12 week pregnancy appointment and I weighed 183 (if I remember right).  Hopefully I'll be seeing that number again in 4-6 weeks.  That's my next goal weight. I considered setting some sort of tangible reward for myself but I have a few pair if jeans from a few years ago that I would love to be able to wear again.  That is probably reward enough.

I went to Zumba this morning and felt kind of sick and light headed early on.  I powered through bug it wasn't as good a workout as I would have liked.  I need to drink more water.  I'm sure of that.   I got really dehydrated a week or so ago and ended up pretty sick for a couple days.  I'm awful at drinking water but I am setting a goal to drink at least 64 ounces a day.  That still is less than I ought to be drinking but it's a whole lot more than I am drinking now.

If I can really lose eight pounds a month for the entire competition I will end up at 154.  I know that is extremely unlikely but I would really love to weight that again.  I would also love to have energy and a flat stomach!  Someday.  I just need to keep working!
