This was one of those rare weeks since I started here that I did not think about food really. I am usually extremely focussed in this area. But I kind of gave myself some freedom. It has been so hot here and rather then feeling sick and light headed, I just went crazy with salty foods. I have a moderate amount of food in me and I am feeling pleasant with my lightly puffy tummy. I do not even like when I am all caved in. I want to lose fat and I think retaining a little water actually makes me look healthy. I have talked about that loose skin, well I like the fuller look. I went to Mamma Mia on Saturday and sitting in the next row was this girl who was clearly anorexic to me. Perhaps it was a health condition that was not controllable or maybe it was what it appeared. Wow! Anyways, the show was FANTASTIC !!!

I also am really enjoying my muscles these days. I love seeing the toned or should I say the most toned body of my life. Specifically, I speak of my toned arms, calves and back. I worked out a great deal this week - pilates, yoga, free weights, walking, jogging/running. Friday night David went roller blading for his second time this year and I kept up by either jogging or running. We were out for 30 minutes so that was a good workout for me.  He said it was a good start for him.  I was exhausted for a minute after and was completely recovered after 2 or 3 minutes. That in itself is improvement.

I am not sure where the 2 extra pounds on the scale came from this AM, but I will take them. Is it food, water, muscle or fat? I do not care. This week I start fresh changing somethings and sticking to others. This is a really good and healthy place for me. Granted I have not lost my mind…hehe…. My competitive self is still present and healthy. I need this for myself. I have a different place I want to be in one week. So, I do what I can this week to get me closer to my goal.

I wish everyone a healthy and happy week.
