A Little Lighter

wwcitizenThis morning my weight showed 9 pounds fewer than Monday! How's that possible? When I weighed myself on Monday morning, my body was at its emptiest. Then it started to get rid of all the other crap that was in there - dough, chocolate, cookies, etc. My belly this morning was feeling a little tighter than it had in about 3 weeks, so I weighed myself. I couldn't believe my eyes when it was 9 pounds down! Oh, and for the record, we've upped our caloric intake to just over 1000 calories. By the weekend or starting on Monday, we'll up it to 1200-1500.
Matt's jealous because somehow he's lost "only" 3 pounds since beginning. I keep telling him that our bodies are different and they each handle weight and weight loss differently. Plus, when we work out, because I'm at a higher weight than he is to begin with, my calorie burning is much greater than his. He doesn't have as much to push around! lol
But, we're on the road to a thinner us. I'm expecting to be down at least 35-40 pounds by May, which should be reasonable, doable, and healthy (roughly 2 pounds a week).
