Drum roll please
Woo hoo! I am down 2.5 pounds this week! (Actually that’s over the last 2 weeks because technically I never got around to weighing in last week with all the craziness around here!) That puts me at 19 pounds down since the beginning of August when I began the new eating plan and I am just thrilled to pieces with the results.
Spent another 2.5 hours at the gym today. I worked out with Claire again - and we did a god awful lot of back today. I also walked 5 miles on the treadmill at some pretty serious inclines (8-15%) and at a pretty decent clip too. So that was good too. All the way around it’s been a good day. I’m at 187 miles on the 300 mile challenge, which is also fantabulous news. 
Now I am preparing for my trip to Wisconsin. I’ve got Ellen-treats and good healthy food too on the menu - so I can stay true to myself and my plan without feeling deprived the entire time. I think total denial would be worse for me in both the long and the short run. My goal is to maintain in Wisconsin; if I end up slightly lighter on Monday morning that would be golden. But if it’s the same, no worries. I will also walk a minimum of 2 miles on the treadmill each day, and whatever else we end up walking I’ll count as well with the help of a pedometer. I will focus on large muscle training - specifically Core and legs which are easy to get to with or without special equipment. And that’s the plan.
Now I have an interesting challenge… it’s time to figure out what the heck I can wear out of my fall clothes. I have no clue how these things are going to fit at all right now. This oughta be interesting.
See you all on Sunday when I return. Please keep good thoughts and vibes coming my way and I will do the same for each of you! HUGS! Ellen
