169!! 169!!!

Sunday morning is weigh-in day for the X-weighted challenge, and this morning I was shocked to land in the '160's'!! I can't believe it, and I can't remember the last time I weighed in the 160's - 169  to be exact! I even re-weighed three times! I started two weeks ago at 174, last week was 172, so that means I've lost 3 lbs this week and 5lbs in total!! I was mentally prepared to hold in at 172 or loose only one pound, but I'm in the 160's! I'm over the moon! I guess all this work is having positive effects, now to see if I can maintain it, or even loose a few more lbs!!

Today was my day of rest - I'll admit I was back and forth about throwing a little 1/2 hour home work out in - but I didn't find time (or motivation) between the kids Gymnastics and Hockey. I'm selling myself on the 'day of rest' belief (that the body needs a day to rest before you start putting it though the paces again).
The real key for today is my eating. Last nights dinner was great, but I know my portion sizes were over. However, I'd eaten really well all day long I think I had enough extra calories to cover it (plus I earned extra calories with the 60 minute Ryder class!). Tonight, hubby chose to saute some veggies for he and I (god knows the kids won't eat it that way) to go with our properly portioned pasta salad:

So, I'm resting my temple and happy in the knowledge that it's no longer in the 170's!
