This week I:<\/strong>
\n – Lost 7 lbs (278.0)
\n – Drank all my water everyday(66oz\/day).
\n – Went to the farmer\u2019s market(Carrots, red onions, apples, scallions, swiss chard, leeks, parsley, and strawberries (!!)).
\n – New recipe this week: Ground Beef and Barley Stew, Breakfast bites, Clean Beef Stroganoff<\/p>\n

I still need to:<\/strong>
\n – Finish cleaning out the fridge(I need F’s help. I tried to pull it out to clean it and it’s too heavy)
\n – Clean the kitchen floor (Finished half the floor)
\n – Move cloth boxes out of the front room
\n – Move SCA stuff to the trailer<\/p>\n

Need to make this next week:
\n – pork roast
\n – mac & cheese with hamburgers
\n – Chicken and wild rice soup
\n – venison
\n – Something with leeks<\/p>\n

…and the crowd goes wild. Really I think the loss this week is half from last week. I would have shown a loss last week except that the pizza Friday\/Saturday put too much salt in my system causing me to show a gain (which was probably water weight). Regardless I think my plateaus is definitely busted.<\/p>\n

I’m in week two of C25k<\/a> and I still haven’t died. I won’t say I have a runner’s high.. but I am actually looking forward to the morning runs. Week 1 (60 seconds running\/90 seconds walking) passed without incident and this week I’m at 90 seconds of running interspersed with 2 minutes of walking. <\/p>\n

I’m also clipping along on my Abs. I read an interesting article and watched a video about abs<\/a> and I’ve now added planks to my ab routine. I figure when vanilla planks become easy (HA!) I’ll invest in the book mentioned in the video.<\/p>\n

I found my favorite yogurt at another branch of my grocery store. I’m still thinking about making homemade yogurt.. but for some reason there’s something holding me back. I think it’s the “I’ve never done this before” thing. Meh. I need to just do it.<\/p>\n

Last weekend I made a batch of Lentil stew just so I’d have it in the freezer. It went straight to “leftovers” and has never been a “meal”. I’m grooving on that for lunches.<\/p>\n

I got the opportunity to shop-at-home again this week. I dug through my “too small” box and found two more pairs of pants I’ve now shrunk into. Good thing too. I was down to only having one pair of usable jeans. So now I’m up to 3 pairs of jeans, 1 pair of work jeans and I still have two more pairs of “too-small” jeans in the box. I think I also have another box in the garage. I may try and dig that out this coming weekend.<\/p>\n

This is week 26. That’s half a year. This morning I weighed in at exactly 40 lbs down from when I started. I wish I could have said 60 lbs.. but the 10 lb a month goal has been hard to reach each month. Regardless, I’m making progress against my goals. I’ve passed my initial goal of 10% body weight loss. I’m swiftly approaching my 2X goal. That is at 272 lbs I’ll be at exactly twice my long-term goal and 15% down from my original weight. It’s also the weight I was at when I moved to California 10 years ago.<\/p>\n

I say it’s about time.
