Excuses....just one: SICK!
Results: I lost 2 lbs this week, a total of 10 lbs in 7 weeks. I am now 159 lbs, and have 20 to go. I have reached my first benchmark goal of 10 lbs lost, which means that I get my new running shoes! I'm undecided...I've had the older versions of each of these shoes before, and they are both great.

So, yes, I was horribly sick this week. My mom was in town, too. I was happy that she was here, because I feel like I would probably still be vomiting my life away if she wasn't here, but sad, too, because it obviously wasn't my intention for her to be here only to be stuck in the house for a few days because I was too sick to get off of my couch. Mom and I had a great visit, and I hope she comes again soon when I have more vacation time, and when I am not hugging, sitting on, or lying by the toilet for a 72-hour period of time.
I'm feeling a little guilty about my results, like I need to put an asterisk by them. I know that my weight-loss was 100% due to the fact that I only recently started eating solid foods again. However, I am at 10 lbs lost, and will purchase the much-needed new shoes, so that I can get my running jumpstarted again.
We are having a community yard sale this weekend, and I am hoping that I can sell enough items that I can fund my new shoes from my yard sale proceeds.
There's one other fun thing coming up this weekend...I signed myself up for a yoga class and oxygen bar that is happening at a winery nearby. Oh yes, it's a wine tasting, too. I hope to start finding more off-the-beaten path, fun ways to get to my destination of 30 lbs lost by the end of next July.
My hopes for Week 8? No illness...and I'd just like to get back into a groove or on some type of schedule.
Here we go!
