The scale is a groaning!!!

OK...I know from watching a billion seasons of Biggest Loser that the week two weigh-in is always the smallest...Some even gain weight. However, me and my overachieving butt lost a whopping .8 pounds!! Woo-hoo!! I have maintained my third place status. I need to kick it into gear so I can move up in the ranks. I missed my Thursday and Friday workouts, but dragged my tired ass to the gym on Saturday and Sunday, as well as strapped Hannah (aka sack of cute potatoes) to my chest and walked with Abby to the playground. I think my body is starting to respond to the workouts. My arms feel tighter and I do have more energy.

I also dropped serious coin yesterday at the HEB and bought healthy, yet flavorful food. Last night, I cooked my low glycemic pasta, with organic garlic lovers (I love my breath!!) sauce with an package of calamari and a extra can of crushed tomatoes. Abby declared it a victory and so did I. We both had two servings. YUM!! I was pretty proud of myself for passing (read:running) past the cake mixes and brownies and picking up a small army's worth of sugar free/fat free pudding and Jell-O packets....small victories, people!!

My workout on Friday night was great...minds out of the gutter!! I went with Shane to the Water Tank for Sarah's & Shanna's birthdays and stuck to my Diet Coke binge. I nearly knocked Shanna out to inhale her chicken nachos and had to sit on my hands when I was offered decadent cheese fries about 50 times...but I resisted. THEN, we went to Graham's. Me and my 4" heels (that I had been wearing ALL DAY) danced/two stepped/booty shook until we could not do it anymore. I kicked off the shoes and kept going. (I was wearing socks...I am not one of those people who goes barefoot at a bar!) I ripped off my sweater and looped through a belt loop and kept going. We stayed until last call and had a blast. I have to give much props to Shane for kicking it with me on the dance floor for the majority of the night...whirling and twirling me...WAY out of his comfort zone. :)

Total weight lost: 5.2 pounds
