155 pounds. This was a consistent number for me 1 year ago. My goal was to get to this weight in the spring and my reward was going to be my foot tattoo. Isn’t it ironic that I finally meet this goal after flip flops have been packed away!! Arg. Weightloss can be extremely frustrated.

1 mile jog -9 minutes
1 mile walk – 15 minutes
30 minute elliptical

Food:
DD med. pumpkin spice coffee w/ cream
Apple
Copycat Noodles and Co. Mac N Cheese

Days 12 and 13

I really lost track of the past two days. Tricia and I did a real good walk on Friday. We had our monster party with the kids and I ate way too much candy and a couple cookies. Friday I did get back to the Y for a 1 mile jog, 15 minute step machine, and 15 elliptical.

Saturday I didn’t eat too much junk but lost track. I did do Biggest Loser Cardio Max week 1.
