Week three down and also 2.5 more pounds. I did take an extra day off this week from working out because I spent it by the pool with my dear dear friend, Autumn :). So with that said I can't really complain about my progress. For some reason this week I have really not looked forward to working out. I think it is because I am working a lot harder than in the beginning. Also I start to want something different but then I remember that there isn't really anything that can do the same job as what I am doing now. This week I ate sushi and icecream from this place called Menchies. It specializes in low fat/low calorie frozen yogurt. They have regular yogurt also but who eats that? lol....everyone but me basically. They also post all of their nutritional info online which is soooo helpful!!! I am going to try my hardest to eat at home this week and not eat out at all because the week after will be 4th of July and I won't be eating as well or working out like normal but we will deal with that when it comes! As for the next week I am just praying to stay on track and keep losing! No real struggles yet.

Day 14 - On track
Week 2 is officially over. I lost another 3 pounds this week. I am really satisfied with that because I even got to eat mexican food and subway which was fabulous by the way! Hopefully things continue to stay strong and I can continue at this pace. I am excited about this and honestly can see it being a full time thing. Sometimes I get anxious if I know that my schedule makes things complicated for me to stay on track. For example going out of town might be a big challenge for me in July but I am confident that I can try to make good choices! I don't really have that much to say today. Now I just gotta gear myself up to do this workout! YIKES!

Day 7 - Progress
So it has been one week and it has sort of flown by. I can't believe its already time to update. This week has been fairly successful. Overall I lost 5 pounds. I can't complain about that. I started doing the Insanity workouts and today was the fourth day. They are the hardest things I have ever done and I can't even do them at the level they are! With that said, I would have wished to lose more this week but maybe I am building up some muscles. I hope anyway! I am going to keep pushing through. I did eat out three times this week, but I stuck to the points plan and it didn't seem to hurt me! That was really exciting because its just proof that you can still do the things you love as long as you do them correctly! Yay!

Day 1 - Weight Loss Marathon
If you know me it is no surprise that I have had my share of health problems the last couple of years. Starting with gallbladder issues in 2007, a month in the hospital with pancreatitis in 2008, and most recently thyroid cancer. I had my thyroid removed Monday, May 24, 2010. Right now they believe that they removed all of the cancerous tumors and hopefully when I go back in 5 weeks to check my tumor marker levels I can finally put this whole mess behind me. It's no doubt that I am absolutely tired of being sick! I am finally starting to feel like a normal person again since my surgery and it has only been a week! My version of normal and your version of normal are probably two completely different things. For the last 3 years I have been sick so I am not really sure how it feels to have a "normal" amount of energy. I have basically been running on fumes for 6 months trying to finish school for the summer. So you could imagine that this energy boost I am feeling now has given me a new lease on life.
