Been a while!

It's been a while since I posted...had two weigh-ins since...one not so good...another that wasn't great...but not horrible either.

Week 3 I gained. :-(  I only gained 0.6, but it still sucks...so that put me at a total loss of 2 pounds.  Last week I lost 0.8...a little disappointed that it was more of a loss, but it's still a loss.  So I am now at a total of 2.8 pounds loss.

I know one of my biggest struggles is drinking as much water as I should.  I normally drink NO water at all...I've always had a problem with drinking water.  The flavored water shakers really help, but I know some of the water I drink should be straight water...no flavor.  I've also started using straws...apparently I drink a lot faster through a straw...haha!

I started working out this week.  I really like how I feel when I run...well, AFTER the running, but it's very hard on my knees and my heart.  I have a heart mur-mur and a patch on my heart (open heart surgery when I was an infant).  Each time I run, it feels like my legs want to keep going but I get to a point where I can barely breathe...not so easy to run then.  I'm hoping its just something I need to push through.  Guess we'll see!
