I am so excited about how this week is going. I have really gotten into the grove of making sure that I am active everyday and getting in some good workouts. I feel as though I have lost a good amount of weight this week, but I wont' know until Sunday. Even if it does not show on the scale, I know I have made improvements!

My husband set up our scale so that it will also measure muscle gain along with weight loss. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it will still be good to have a general idea. I am looking forward to Sunday morning to "hop" on the scale. (hop is just me trying to make a pun since it will be Easter:))

I am also keeping track of my meals in a notebook and I will transfer that here to the blog on Sunday. I still want to keep accountable for what I am eating, but just have not been successful in blogging each night.

My main frustration is my left knee. I am still having issues with it and it is actually getting worse. It usually feels ok in the morning and I am still able to work out etc, but then I hobble around the house the rest of the day. Finally last night I not only iced it, but I put a heating pad on it for a couple of hours while my hubby and I watched a movie. That seemed to help quite a bit and most of the pain was gone this morning. After my morning strength training class, though it is sore again. So, I will try icing it and putting the heating pad on again.

I realized this week how addicted I am to my access bars (fat conversion bars). I will not work out without eating one first ever again! We ran out and I had to order some more. While we were waiting on the order to come I worked out one day without using one. It SUCKED! I did not have near the same endurance as I usually do. Luckily I found a couple of bars that I had carried around with me for samples several months ago. But I had left them in a ziplock bag with some household cleaners (for those of you that know Melaleuca products, I had tub n tile in there and sol u mel) Well, I guess the tub n tile leaked and soaked into the access bars. They tasted SOOOOO nasty! But I still used them for the two days until I got more! I refused to workout with out one and refused to skip any workouts! So, no it is not just the fact that they are great for you and taste like a candy bar, I know they make a huge difference in my workout!
