187 lbs. It's a small victory that weighs 3.5 pounds but I did a happy dance as I hopped off the scale this morning. I like that it's more than my goal, I was shooting for 2 pounds. However I am happy that it's not 10 pounds, because then I would have questioned my methods. In this race, slow and steady will win it. I'm in this for at least 6 months, so not rushing, just as long as the numbers are decreasing I'm good. I'm willing to bet that the last pound alone came from that "stroll" with Jennie downtown! Damn that girl can walk! And those three kids are heavy!!! And that uphill....well I think I've painted the picture.
As I am writing this, my ever supporting husband is baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies with Kiara. The house smells phenomenal. It's really hard to hate him though, they look so darn adorable making cookie dough balls. Good thing I had my chocolate fix this evening in a form of a dark chocolate square. No damage impeding.
Breakfast smoothie this morning was banana peanut butter. It was great! Another one to add to my recipe book. Speaking of recipe book a recipe page to be added to this website is in the works. I'm working with Hassan so that he can take pictures of the recipes. So, watch this space...
