I got in 6 work outs last week, all but one were 45-60+ minutes each.  Exceeded my goal of 5 work outs!

I need to continue working on the 10 glasses of water.  I didn’t make that goal each day.  I got at least 8 glasses though which is more than I usually drink.

I increased my 40 minute run walk from 2.6 miles to 2.88 miles. Yeah!

I commented on many blogs this week and am grateful for all the support and comments I have received.

I have kept track of all of my food by journaling on myfitnesspal.com

Daily Carb Count:
Monday: 144 (21 under)
Tuesday: 157 (8 under)
Wednesday: 176 (11 over)
Thursday: 104 (61 under)
Friday: 145 (20 under)
Saturday: 138 carbs (27 under)
Sunday: 144 carbs (21 under)

Overall a great first week.  I am thrilled with the changes I am seeing.  I feel like my face it a little thinner already!

I have ready many of your blogs and I must say great work!!!  Very impressive. Keep it up!  Here we go onto Week 2!
