Is the scale lying to me?

• Create weight training routine ---> Partially met.  It's just not as organized as I'd like
• Weight training 4x/week & Cardio 4x/week @ 30mins/each --> Met.  5x/wk!
• Continue eating 6x/day; every 3-4hrs -----> about 5x/day every 3-4hrs
• DRINK MORE WATER! (at least 3L/day) ---> Almost.  Drinking about 2L/day
• Re-subscribe to a fitness magazine for inspiration and advice ---> Done & awaiting 1st magazine
• Lose 2 more pounds ----------------> Met.  Actually, per the gym scale this morning I've lost 6 more pounds!  Current Weight:  144lbs

So, last week was a great week.  I'm surprised about the extra weight loss though & am wondering if it's just water weight (been using the sauna) because I don't notice much difference in the fit of my clothes.  We'll see if it sticks.  I'm looking forward to actually seeing & feeling a difference.

I tried Zumba last Friday.  I looked ridiculous, but had a lot of fun.  I love the beats & it makes the workout go by fast.  I need to get a beginner's DVD so I can practice at home.  I'm starting to look forward to having sore muscles.  It lets me know that I had a good workout.  My food choices are better.  I went to 2 birthday parties over the weekend.  That was hard.  I didn't deny myself too much, just had smaller portions & tried to fill up on fruit & veggie snacks.  It felt good that I passed on a piece of cake Saturday but Sunday I ate about 10-15 peanut M&M's.  Not gonna beat myself up over it though.

Got back on track yesterday.  Today's lunch was pretty tasty.  It was adapted from my recent Oxygen magazine.  Yum!

Ingredients:

• Romaine Lettuce
• Kernal Corn
• Black Beans
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Low Fat Cheddar Cheese
• 1/2 Chicken Breast
• Lemon/Lime, Red Chile, Cumin & Cilantro Dressing

Loved the dressing!  And it was low fat, no oil!  Very easy to make & tasty.  Anyway....The Biggest Loser is on so I gotta go.

Goals this week:

• Lose 2lbs
• Workout 4-5x
• Start taking Calcium daily (because I have osteopenia)
• Eat more veggies
• Write out weight training plan

Blessings & good health to all.  :-)
