Yes!

The scale was very good to me today. 188. Down 6 pounds for the year. I had a goal of being down 5 pounds, so this is a welcome surprise.

I did some math last night and figured out that officially, I averaged 12,500 steps per day last week (on paper, since the pedometer didn't do its job this weekend). That's an extra 2500 steps per day, and it also (according to the 10k steps article) puts me in the "highly active" category. Fancy.

 I also planned to have 4 strength training days (2 arms and 2 legs) and I have 5 (an extra arm workout). So yay!

 For the coming week, I'd like to try to drink 8 glasses of water per day. So far I've been averaging about 4-5.
