Well.

Hey bloggy friends. Is anyone else FREEZING?! I feel like all of the sudden Oregon decided it was going to be winter weather, without the snow. I am so cold and can't seem to warm up. No fun at all. Give me a beach, 80 degree weather and a light breeze and I am set for life.


Yesterday I got home from work and was really down. David and I got our final loan statements from our school loans so we know exactly how much we owe. Let me tell you... the number is staggering.


David put himself through school (privet school at that) and he accumulated a lot of loans. That being said, I called my parents and basically bawled on the phone to them about how I am so worried about paying the loans off.


I did a lot of research, made phone calls, created an official "we-have-to-stick-to-this-or-we-won't-eat-anything-but-Top-Ramen-for-the-next-ten-years" type budget and talked everything over with David, and felt better.


Not better enough to work out hardcore. I was so emotionally drained, it was not good.


Instead, I did a light arm workout... I figured it can be my "rest day."


Today I compensated for yesterday though and walked for an hour and a half on the treadmill. Flipping on Ellen and walking makes working out really easy.


I walked 4.9 miles and burned 520 calories.


Not too bad if you ask me.


I am going to give you an official weigh in report on Saturday. I figured I would do it once a week and see how that goes.


I did weigh myself yesterday morning though and I had LOST A POUND.


Yippeeee!!!


We'll see how Saturday goes though, especially with my rest day yesterday.


How's your weight loss journey going? If you aren't doing one, I would encourage you to do so. I feel so much healthier just knowing I am doing things to reach my goal weight.

Challenge yourself.



I dare you.
