I found this My Virtual Model site a few weeks ago, and I made three “models” of myself: One at my then-current weight, one at my 10% goal weight and one at my ultimate goal weight. I’m going to try to update it once a month and put it on here. Not terribly exciting for you guys, I know, but I’m trying to get some motivation over here.

I haven’t had a terribly successful week, diet-wise (I mean, “lifestyle”-wise. Sorry, Weight Watchers!). I had all of our dinners planned out, but we ended up tossing the menu aside and eating out three times. Not good for the waistline or for the budget. And my exercise plan went by the wayside, too. I woke up every morning this week with a head full of cold-related unpleasantness (I’ll spare you the details), and I just couldn’t make myself go down to the gym and run.

But I still lost 1.5 pounds this week. I’ll take it.

Right now I’m working on this week’s menu, and I’ve pushed all of the upcoming dates on the running schedule back a week. Hopefully I’ll have clear sinuses come Monday and I’ll be back down there on the treadmill.

NOTE: Amy would like it to be known that her second comment on this post was meant to go on the one about Poppy’s diet.
