Weekly Update--Amber

Original weight: 133
This week's weight: 131.6
Goal status: Hurray!
Points: 114

I didn't get a lot of points this week. I never actually worked out. But I am very pleased with my efforts in eating better. We have been very conscious about the fruits and veggies we eat and purposefully plan our meals around them. I have enjoyed having produce around--it makes me feel like I have more cooking options. We have also improved our whole grain intake and I have rather enjoyed it. Water consumption is easy some days and much harder others. I have to get my full 8 glasses before I leave work because my water at home is nasty. Sometimes I get too busy to bother at work, however.

I do need to workout, however. My biggest challenge is going to be on time so I can get myself out of bed at 5:30am to workout. Nights are pretty busy or just plain hard to get away to the gym.

I did push myself and went to Zumba at the gym yesterday. It is a kind of a combination of latin dance and kick boxing. I was terrible, but it was fun. I may have to find something that does not require so much fluid coordination. I wish they had lacrosse at the gym!
