Not bad for the first week, but I always drop a ton of weight the first week of any diet. This just supports my theory that since you loose weight faster at the beginning of a diet than at the end you should stop and start your diet as frequently as possible. The annoying thing about this part of the diet, though, is that my stomach hasn't quite shrunk yet, so I'm hungry more often than I used to be. Fortunately, I'm being better about eating healthy snacks like bananas and apples. Also, I finally looked up how many points I'm supposed to get at my current weight, and it's two less than I used to get, which is just mean.

Exercise is still continuing well. I've been able to up my distance some (although I still need to recalibrate my pedometer). My ankles and shins have been bothering me in the morning still, but they loosen up pretty quickly. I think I just need to get some new running shoes.
