July 5th.

    Well I survived the holiday weekend! Went to two cook-outs. I ate good, and not too much, I did have strawberry shortcake with whipped cream. Actually I had that at both cook-outs! I definately ate too much whipped cream but I felt it was worth it!

    I started riding my bike to work, 4 1/2 miles, so that's not too bad. I did find out that riding home is a slight uphill, and against the wind!!

      I'm still taking my Zumba classes 2-3 times a week, and I'm still working out at Perry 3 mornings a week.

    I didn't work out hardly at all this past weekend and could really feel it today when Bob and I went to Indian Point and walked up the 3,000 steps there. Ok, there's only 137 but if FELT like 3,000!!!! We're going there again tomorrow, we figured if climbing those made us both lose our breath, we need to keep walking up them and get in better shape!  

  I"m disappointed that I had gained 2 lbs. last month. I'm still losing inches, but I need to watch what I eat better. I have caught myself snacking again. I checked the My pyramid.gov website and I'm not eating enough calories each day again, which is why I think I'm getting tired, and snacking again. I'm measuring my snacks for the day, and packing my lunch each day, and I'm trying to make sure i'm eating enough of the right foods! I'm hopeful I can lose weight this month, so wish me luck!! Hoping the other contestants are keeping motivated, and wishing everyone the best!!
