Broke the 200 lb. Barrier

Yeah! I am now 198.8 lbs, below the 200 lb. barrier. In just 4 weeks (28 days), I have lost 7 lbs.

So, what's been working for me? Exercise, water, and eating the right level of points (calories). I have been eating my minimum every day for several weeks now, and my weekly loss has only increased. At least for weight loss, I appear to be on track.

I did have a meal plan to work from this week. I discovered that it was useless. I rarely used it, and if I did I usually swapped the meals around. Rather then plan a meal per day, I think it would be better to plan for 5 meals in a week and then pick the meal I want when I get home.

What are my pending goals:
1: Eat to my minimum points.
Status: Great! My minimum just dropped from 26 to 24 points, but I'm going to keep eating around 26. If it's still working, why starve myself?
2. Exercise 3 hours this week, with 1 hour of cardio.
Status: I got 3 hours in, but only 50 minutes of cardio.
3. Increase veggies to 3 per day.
Status: My journal says I complied. Course, I also had 3 fried tacos, 4 scoops of ice cream, and 3 brownies Sunday. It was a bad day (in terms of what I ate), but I was only 2 points over the maximum.
4. Get info on masters degree program.
Status: The skinny is that there is currently no info to be had.

Goals this week:
1. Eat to my minimum points through February 16.
2. Exercise 3 hours, with 1 hour of cardio.
3. Prepare meal plan and go grocery shopping.
4. Follow Flylady.com cleaning zone for this week (Living room and dining room?); spend at least 1 hour cleaning.
