A testament to good friends, workout buddies, bland food, weird side effects and the elliptical machine. By Jj.

So this week has been an up and down one for me. I felt like I wasn't really accomplishing anything because of how much I've still been babying my ankle. My runs have slowed down and I haven't been able to push as hard because it still hasn't healed. So I was pretty convinced that I wouldn't see any results this week. However, it would appear that I was wrong. I don't know if it's the hour I spent on the elliptical on Monday or if it's the diuretic side effects of my new medication but I lost 2 1/2 pounds this week (even though I accidentally when over my calories one day - minus $.50 - and I went three days this week without any workouts at all - but not in a row)! I was doing a little jig on the scale this morning. It was a good time.

Anyway, with that weight loss it puts me at a total of 4 lbs since we started so that gets me over another milestone (one that I'll hopefully continue hitting). I also lost my first 1/2" around my hips and another 1/2" around my thighs. So that give me 1" on my thighs total and another milestone for that too. So, with my workouts, milestones and fruits and veggies I'll be depositing $10.50.

Good job, Janis. Just goes to show you that even on a bad week you can still be sucessful. (I can't explain it either, weird thing the body is sometimes.) I'm glad we have this group to share information and discoveries so that we can all succeed.
