Progress - baby steps

Okay, so stats first today - for 10/4:

• total calories: 1504 - I was really surprised and proud of myself for not going over my sodium intake the yesterday... I had Taco Bell for lunch and then leftover chinese food for dinner.. oh, yes.. I forgot to mention yesterday I ordered some Kung Pao shrimp. Heh. The place I order from doesn't use any MSG and it's super low on the grease factor. Plus they stuff so many veggies into their dishes - I'm thinking not too bad health wise!
• calories burned: 0 - I did not make it out for a run yesterday. It was rainy and FREEEEEZING. Plus I'm still feeling a bit under the weather. :-\  Decided maybe it's best to rest the bod and get well instead of starting to feel better and then going for a hard run... and then hacking a lung up the rest of the night. Delicious. Also, with the chilly weather moving in I'm probably going to start using my work-out videos instead of running outside unless I can scrape together $50/mo for a gym membership here soon.
• 0 cigarettes - day 2
• 10:30pm bedtime - unfortunately at 11:30 my kid came into our room having puked all over himself and his bed.. so was up til about 1am dealing with that. Yuck. 
• $5 spent ($35 left for the week)

And now something very exciting... Weight/waist measurement for this week:

• 203lbs
• 37inches

!!!!!

I've lost 2 pounds and 2 inches in a week!!! Now, with the waist measurement.. I think I may have measured incorrectly the first time - so I'm not gonna get too excited about that since I may have not been at 39" to begin with. But 2 lbs is very exciting!!


I'm at home today with a sick kiddo, so the things I need to focus on today are drinking enough water (my 3 liters), getting my eggs in. I wasn't hungry for them this morning so I just had oatmeal, so maybe I'll have those for lunch - or I'll hard boil some and have them for a post-workout snack.

Fun fact: I had to turn my heat on this morning 'cause it was 58 degrees in my house. Oh, winter.. I feel you sneaking up, you sneaking sneak you.. -.-
