End of Week 3 Update So I have not kept up with my diary and I didn't go to the gym in the 2nd week...However, my eating habits changed and I no longer have late night dinners...Fast forward to week 3, i went back to the gym and spent an 1 hr on the treadmill...I was going to make up for the week lost :-)....

I couldn't believe myself..I got off and tried my 2nd scale and still the same thing...Yayyyyy I was so elated...Geez i guess the work out (even if little) and less food sure does make a difference.. Went to my closet and tried on some of 'those' jeans and dresses and it didn't fit yet but i could definitely see I was getting closer... Went to the GYM for the rest of the week...Perhaps this Christmas, I would be a dress size smaller...Wouldn
