It's working!

My new plan seems to be working!  I started the strength training on Saturday, and started varying the amounts of calories I eat each day.  This morning for weigh-in, I was down .8 pounds, and when I weighed tonight, I was only .2 more than that!  It's so good to see that scale moving again!  I did another round of weight training today, and tomorrow is my last official C25K training session.  After this, it's just practice runs until the 5K!

I started Batties Biggest Loser round 2 today.  So now switching my weigh-in days to Tuesdays.  I won the previous round so that's $50 as the prize.  This round, there's $80 in the pot!  I want to get a FitBit so badly!  I'd like to do it now and put my $50 toward it, but I'd still be paying $40 out of pocket.  

Next week, I'm going to NYC to meet my manager Steve and coworker Laurie.  I had really hoped to be in the 230's by then (and preferably not just barely in the 230's!).  Not sure that will happen so I just have to accept that.  Oh well.  It is what it is.  What I need to focus on more is how I'm still going to fit in the exercise while there, and keeping myself accountable with my eating.  Part of me wants to try out the gym at the hotel, but the other part is just not comfortable with that yet.  Plus I really don't want to bring all my special clothes.  I'm debating bringing my 5 lb weights, though.  I'm not sure.  

I'm nervous about going to NYC by myself, nervous about meeting Steve, nervous that my shyness will kick in...nervous about how Louie is going to handle both kids while I'm gone, and dreading being away from them.  I don't know how people who travel a lot for business and have kids do it.  I hate it!

Anyway, I was thinking about my measurements.  I was only taking bust, waist, and hips.  I'm wondering now if I should also take arm and thigh measurements too.  Especially with the strength training...it'd be good to see if I'm losing inches there too.  I may do that tomorrow.
