Weigh-in: 1.5 down, 131.1 to go

This is a belated weigh in post with no picture.  I went out of town to visit a friend this weekend and I weighed in on Friday before I left.  I was out of my normal routine and forgot to get a picture.

I lost another 1.5 pounds this week pushing me over the 70 pound mark.  I am happy to continue moving in the right direction but really would love to get my weekly losses up a bit.

This past week I started training at Fitness Together.  I bought a package of 36 sessions (pricey!) and am planning on going Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday each week.  Even though I've been walking on the treadmill, I am so out of shape when it comes to these workouts it's almost embarrassing.  A couple of times I've had to sit down and rest for a minute.  The 2 different trainers I have worked with have been nothing but encouraging though.  I can feel I am working, let me tell you.  My quads were so sore over the weekend.  Finally they started feeling better today....just in time to resume working out tomorrow! 

The weekend was really fun.  I needed a break away from work, a change of scenery, and a temperature that was less than 100 degrees.  I really enjoyed myself.  Best part is I had alot of "changes I noticed" to report from my trip.  Here goes.

Changes I have noticed:

• I was able to ride on a plane and the seatbelt fit.  I fit in the seat.  And I was able to walk around the airport and carry my luggage without nearly keeling over or bursting into tears in the parking garage.  Much improved situation from this trip I took 2 years ago.  I was around 350 pounds.
• Going out to eat with my friends I was able to fit in a booth.
• I was able to take a walk with my friend and not almost die.
• We walked around and shopped and I did not almost die.
• I really didn't give much thought to my weight at all during the weekend as it really didn't hinder anything I wanted to do.

Big changes for me and I am happy.
