Hmm...Too many No's, especially that last one.
I have to say that I feel like I had a really good week last week, in spite of what the scale says. It's frustrating a bit because the scale is up, but I'm definitely not discouraged. I had a huge (5.6 pound) loss last week, so maybe it just evened out this week. I ate really well and stayed in my point range (I even had about 16 flex points left). I was lower than normal on water over the weekend, so that may have contributed too. I'll definitely be working on getting that in this week.

I conciously chose not to go to BodyPump/BodyFlow on Sunday because we did so much work on Saturday and I was sore and also because we had to finish the work we started Sunday. I did get in 4 cardio sessions, although one was just a walk. I even went for a walk/run Sunday after we finished our work for the day. The most exciting thing is that I've started running outside. The weather has been beautiful and there's not much traffic in our neighborhood. I'm not able to run as long at one time, because we have some pretty serious hills that I'm just not up to yet, but I can see a huge difference and it's really important to get outside and start conquering the hills! I'm not sure how far my current route is, my GPS never found the satellite one day and ran out of battery the other. I'm guessing around 2.5 miles. I am so glad I have the GPS because I can completely change up the route and get in more or less miles as I continue training and I'll know how far I'm going. My neighborhood is pretty good for running too, there's even a 0.5 mile loop that goes right by house so when I get done with my run, if I need some more distance, it's easy to get!

I bought some new vitamins last week, I just need to start taking them. I need to take them with food and I don't eat breakfast until I'm already at work, so I need to get in the habit of bringing it with me or just leave a bottle there.
