Well, today marks the beginning of my 8th week of the BFL challenge. I can't believe that I am starting my 8th week! I have never made it this far in the challenge, I always quit around the 3rd week, one time I made it close to the 6th week (but missed workouts here and there).

I have made up the workouts that I missed while we went out of town, I only have 1 more cardio to make up - I am starting to see some improvements in my cellulite area on the back of my thighs - I still have plenty of it, but I can see a difference.

I weighed this morning 178.2 - I am down 70 lbs now! I'm sure the weight loss will slow down. Whats weird is, it goes so slow for a few weeks, then all of a sudden, I drop 5 lbs. So, it lifts my spirits. I cannot believe it when I step on the scales and see 170's. I have to step on the scales 5 or 6 times, I leave come back to the scales and step on them again. It's just amazing how good I feel.

Okay - eating has not been that great, so that could be the reason I'm losing fast the last week too. I have been a little stressed over my 16 year old son, he has gotten himself in a little trouble, he is a good kid, makes straight A's, wins all kinds of awards at school. However, he went out and got drunk with some of his friends for the first time, we found out about it so we have taken all his priveledges away from him. No cell phone, no car, no movies, no nothing. Its scary to think he was driving! It stresses me out to think "what if", he could have killed himself or someone else. I am totally against drinking and driving and it is not worth it. Plus, he is only 16! I told him no matter how drunk he is, he needs to call me, we will pick him up and discuss it the next day. He swears he just wanted to try it, and won't do it again, but my DH & I are worried because alchoholism runs in my DH family. June 6th was 27 years that my DH has been sober - his dad was sober for 25 years before he died, his grandmother died of alchoholism, so its nothing we take lightly. So, my eating has been minimal lately. I am going to focus this week on eating better, getting more protein in.

Okay, off to work I go..........busy week!
