I did lose 2 pounds, but unfortunately gained 5 over the weekend.  Hello there discouragement, nice to see you again.  Hailey's birthday tripped me up a bit, but I can't blame the whole binge on that.  It was simply my lack of self control.  But I'm back on the wagon now.  I reserved myself a spot in Sarah's Zumba class tonight, so my workout is locked.

Here are my stats from last week:
Workout days: 4
Target calorie days: 3  (days that I was within my calorie range)
Perfect pen days: 3   (days that I wrote everything down successfully)
Water mark days: 4 (days that I drank at least 64ozs of H2O)

The weight loss formula is simple.  Expend more calories than you take in.  Here is a link to a calculator to help you determine what calorie number you should be aiming for.  There are lots of more detailed formulas for finding out how many calories you should be consuming.  A little web searching can pull them up if you want more information.
