Weight loss: 14.6lbs
Mood: nervous

My weight has gone up a tiny bit which scares me since it adds even more to the already large (for me) amount of weight I need to lose to reach my birthday goal. I am working out for at least an hour each day and have a 121.25% success rate as of right now. I am working a little harder every day and feeling good about my exercise thus far. I do need to get back on track in terms of my food though. I have been over by about 100 calories every day and despite how hard I try I always seem to be over. I am going to watch it more closely in the next couple days and try to figure out when and why I am eating those couple extra calories. Though they are not a very big deal, they do mean that a tiny bit of my exercise goes towards that instead of weight loss.

I have purchased a swim cap so that when I go swimming in the public pool in our condo complex my hair won't get destroyed. I have been every day this week and plan on going pretty much every day this month. I have never really thought that swimming was that good of a workout - just a whole lot of fun. But these past couple of days I have been able to feel it in my legs and a little in my arms as I have been treading water and doing laps for at least 30 minutes straight each time I go. I love swimming too, so doing it doesn't even feel like a chore like other forms of exercise does - I am glad I FINALLY found something I enjoy doing that is helpful towards my healthy life goal.

I am also learning how to drink all my water while I am at home. I was able to adapt to drinking 2L while I was at work and have found that I have not been able to hold that up while I am at home. I am slowly getting the hang of it and hopefully I will get it all in soon.
