Last weekend Shaun, Kim and I all went down to Kissimmee and stayed at a condo to goof off and have some fun.  We went bike riding, watched a lot of movies and ate popcorn, visited Old Town, checked out the local mall where Shaun and I bought some awesome panda stuff for our bedroom, and in general just had an awesome time.  For me it was a nice 3-day weekend.  It was also our last "binge" weekend, for now we are back on the induction phase of Atkins.  And good thing, too, because after last weekend I went back above 200!!!  ;_;  BUT, I did really really well this week and I've lost 4.6 pounds.  I resisted temptation and didn't eat anything that would compromise my weight loss.  I've also been more dedicated to working out, so I'm sure that helped too.

Sometimes I get a bit too focused on the numbers, which is why I weigh myself every morning.  I'm just so excited and I really want to see results right away because I'm impatient!  But just in case that goes awry for some reason (mostly because I've been building muscle), I've also started taking weekly measurements of myself (chest, waist, hips, thighs and upper arms) to get a better feel for my weight loss.  Those numbers are not looking so great right now, but I know that that will change as time goes by.  I've got 3 months to be down to 180lbs.  I'll be super-excited if I can reach that goal early, though, so I'm working hard.  Hopefully sticking to things "by the book" will accomplish that! <3
