August 3rd

The weekend was rough. I didn't do well in either category. I did go on a 2 mile walk with Bruegg and Becky during the day Saturday but that was after a big lunch and followed by 2 margarita's at the pool. We had another Whitney and Brian engagement dinner celebration followed by the most delicious cake ever! That was NOT good! but it's a new week and I've started off positively. I went for a jog this morning and had one breakfast taco. I still plan to take Charlie for a walk later this evening after I study.
Mom- I've been praying like crazy for you. I know that if the results aren't what any of us want to hear, your weight loss will be a good thing. It's given you more energy and strength and just a positive outlook on things in general which will certainly come in handy if things get more serious. I had no idea when we were watching that dance that you already knew about your suspicious mammogram...prolly a good thing or I would have cried even harder! We need to take Charlie on a walk tonight. Lets go on a real long walk and we'll time it and see if we can't beat one of your records!
Lee- Congratulations on your weight loss! I knew you'd see results soon enough. That's one thing I've learned in all of this...don't let small numbers discourage you and let every milestone (no matter how small) be something you're proud of. Keep up the good work :-)
Whitney- Still no blogs from you. It's been a long time! You need to jump back on this thing now that you have a very small wedding dress you're going to have to fit into by next year. It certainly couldn't hurt!

Ending with Jillians Tip of the Day:

Get Moving!
Do you want to take a preventive measure against colds? Get off your butt! Studies show that the more active your lifestyle is, the less likely you are to contract the common cold. Moderate to vigorous activity — and this includes your cardio and circuit workouts on my program — will help you build not only a better body but a tougher immune system!

Have a great day!
