8 lb. down!

So, I chickened out of weighing myself yesterday because I was afraid that after a week of crappy eating and almost no working out it would be back up to where it was. Monday and yesterday were really good - I ate right, tried a new recipe (cilantro chicken burgers, which I'll be posting about tonight or tomorrow) and worked my bum off in zumba last night. Holy crap, that was an intense class. I'm sore this morning, which I knew would happen but it's kind of a nice feeling, like hey, I did something good!

Anyway, I stepped on the scale a few minutes ago and was pleasantly surprised to see 284.5. Not a lot, no, but it feels like a lot. I've been bouncing back and forth between the same damn numbers for 3 weeks despite all of my efforts, but not this week. And I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that 285 is a number I never see again, at least on the scale. Wheeeeee!

Now I must go pack my lunch.
