I'm Doing it.

I got my tape measure out last night and took a starting measurement. When I ordered my dress I was 27 inches around my midsection, Wednesday night I was 34...last night, I was 30.5! I still have some work to do, but it some of it was definitely water/bloat.
Yesterday was a good day though, I ran a total of 5.5 miles. My food intake was around 16 points. I drank tons of water (about 100 oz.), and no soda! I did have soup for lunch which is high in sodium, but I think the rest of my choices balanced that out. The scale was down 1 lb. this morning (total of 2 for the week so far).
I woke up early again this morning and got in a 2 mile run. My caffeine headache was so bad that I gave in and bought a Diet Coke at lunch. I will try to stay away from anything carbonated for the weekend and should be back to all water by Monday.
What does the weekend have in store?? Well, I planned a 10 mile walk tomorrow morning. I am very excited to get out for this walk, it might be one of the last long walks I will get to do outside this year. Saturday night we have a wedding. I am always a bit nervous about what I can eat. I know that they are serving roasted pig and since I can't eat red meat still I might be stuck eating sides. Hopefully they have a good salad or veggies that I can fill up on. I might try eating a late lunch so I am not tempted by the high fat sides that are usually served. The DJ for this wedding is the same guy who will be at my wedding so I am very excited to see how he does. We will definitely stay for some dancing (AP's)!!!
Sunday I have yet another long walk planned. So far we have 8 miles mapped out, I might do 2 more at home though. I'm going to take advantage of Sunday afternoon and plan out meals for the week.
Well, that's it...hope you all have a great, and I mean GREAT weekend!!
