9.2 Pounds!

So I have lost 9.2 pounds! I weigh less than I did the year I graduated from college. When I started in December I hoped to lose 5-6 pounds to look a little leaner and just feel better overall. I started Weight Watchers back then. I've tried south beach, atkins, just counting calories. And while all are effective (calories in, calories out) I've found WW to be the easiest for me to stick to. When you have a week at a trade show and drink like a fish and eat out 3 times a day, 7 days a week, it helps keep me on track, and everything "resets" the next week and I just get back on track. Also interesting to note, I cut out all aspartame from my diet - i drink my coffee black, no diet soda - just selzter water now. Just after that the diet got super easy and super effective. Dropped 2.5 lbs the first week I cut it out! Interesting...not sure it's related, but I'm a no fake sugar convert.

I also started running in January, which I HATED at first, but now desire like sex, food, or water. I have this massive chest cold right now tho, so am feeling horrid and missing the running...hopefully the netti pot, decongenstant, and nose spray I'm taking will keep it from turning into my annual March sinus infection, 3 week cold thingy and I'll be up for running again in a few days.
