It's one week today!

I made it one week!! WWOOOHOOOO ::throwing confetti::
I have lost 5 pounds, so now I weigh 160. :) I would have LOVED to lose 10 pounds, but there I go again. I never appreciate what I accomplish. I always see what I did and try to figure out how to do it better. I guess that's not a bad practice as long as I can appreciate what I DID accomplish. So today, I'm proud of myself and my 5 pound loss accomplishment. :)
Like I said yesterday, I feel like my posture is better and I feel stronger. That makes me VERY happy. Also, my clothes are looser. My Sister mentioned that I looked a little thinner too! :)
Yesterday I did 10 mins of Jillian's masochistic workout and I was actually not totally dyeing at the end. That's an accomplishment in and of itself. Then I did another 20 min Pilates DVD that makes my whole body ache the next day. I'm starting to enjoy the Pilates more and more because I feel like it gives me a could stretching as well as strength and control. Don't worry, I'm not leaving Jillian out completely. I really like the cardio that I get with her workout and now that I can see that I have more endurance after just one week, I'm totally sticking with it.
I have not jumped rope for a few days because I spend more time tangled up in the thing than I do actually jumping. I'm hoping as my workouts progress, I will be able to master the jump rope and get a good workout with that too.
Mondays are family night so my Husband talked about ordering pizza. My first thought was to scream, "NO!!!!! I'm getting healthy and losing weight!!!!!!".  But I held that in and just said that I can't eat pizza, so if we get it I will just have to make a salad for myself. Then he mention that I 'could' pick something up if I wanted to while I was out picking up our oldest daughter from a friend's house. So I thought....hmmmm....what could I pick up that everyone would love and I could eat too? The answer....SUSHI!! I come to find out, our favorite sushi place closed (that's how long it's been since we had it). So, I'm with my Daughter and her and I are trying to figure out what to get then we both realize that there's a sushi place right where we were headed that was recommended to us. So we go, place the order then, while we wait we go the the pet shop right next to it. We buy 2 Comet gold fish, or giant gold fish (my Daughter has a fish tank in her room), really pretty fish, then we go to pick up the sushi. I tell you this because it was kind of ironic and my Daughter didn't want to walk into the sushi place with the Comets in a bag....lol. So we head home and I set up our coffee table in the middle of the living room with pillows around it and we all sat there with sushi and chopsticks and had a wonderful family dinner. :) Everyone was happy and we didn't eat junk!
Today is the start of a new week! I can't wait to see  how it goes. :)
Have a great and blessed day everyone!!
