Losing Weight: Check in #4

I bumped up my exercise and watched my food intake more. As you can see I did do better with water since I consciously started drinking earlier in the day. And on Wednesday, I did feel a difference in my clothes. There is a scale at the gym, and since I go every day it's tempting to weigh myself. I have lost 2 pounds since I started this little weight loss challenge. I would like to lose another 6-8. I have another 2 weeks left at the gym, so while I don't think it's possible in that time, but I will be further on my way. However putting on the THE pants, they are still tight. The leg continues to loosen, but the waist is not where it should be. Next week, lots of veggies and fish!
