153.1 pounds

It's that time of the month again. The time when I show you a picture of my side{ish} profile in those striped exercise shorts and that purpleish-blue shirt and turn in the stats. This past month, I lost seven pounds.

Seven isn't as big as ten, but you've heard the saying, "No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch." No offense to those of you who are sitting on your couch as you read this... ;)

Here are this month's life improvements

• Only drinking water {Except for that one time when I ordered a sweet tea and honestly didn't remember until I was thinking, "Whoa, this is the best sweet tea I've ever tasted!"}
• Still not having seconds
• Still eating smaller portions
• I didn't work out every day this month. Probably twice a week, Matthew and I {and sometimes Chris} would walk 3 miles.

Snacking this month has been hard. We've had alot more company, so we kept making brownies or cranberry pumpkin bread. Mostly, I find that it's all in the little choices I make. 

I've been getting alot more compliments lately, which is a nice little pat on the back from people who don't notice it enough to say, "Hey, have you lost 17 pounds?" but still subconsciously notice that I'm looking better.

This month I think I'll try to walk 3 miles 4 times a week. It takes about an hour every time, so it's just a matter of making time for it.

Well, here I am. 17 down and 25 left to go! It'd like to reach the half way mark this next month. :)
