Thin Down Thursday - Week 1

I've decided to blog my weight-loss journey for hopes that I can get encouragement from my sweet friends and family. Ok, Ok, it's really because of accountability! I know some of you will email me every Thursday to see how I did! (At least, I hope you will!) I don't really have a goal weight, I'd like to be back at my weight when I graduated from college. I really just want to be more healthy, exercise more, and, oh, yeah, the 5k race!! My race partners for the Thanksgiving race currently have a medical crisis going on and our training is practically extinct. Lord knows I'm not disciplined enough to do it myself! I have found a race, however, in late March that is my "new" goal. Wish me luck. On to the good stuff....

Week 1 = -2.2 pounds

Total = 2.2 pounds
