Almost there...

My first measuring/weighing day is next week. I should say the second, because I was weighed/measured when I signed up, but this is the first one since I started.
I'm not expecting to have lost any pounds, because I do weigh myself at home, and it's been fluctuating +/- 2 pounds all month. But I'm really hoping to have lost inches. I feel tighter in places, like my arms, thighs, and butt; people have commented that my belly looks smaller, and I'm noticing it's easier to lift case paper. I'm still having some heart rate problems, though. I thought skipping the caffeine would help, but Monday, it was right back up to 30. (it's a 10-second pulse count, so 30 beats would be three beats a second)
I have an agreement with myself: if I've lost ANYTHING, pounds or inches, I'm allowed to buy the chocolate mint Irish creme I saw at the store. When I've lost 10 pounds, I get to have a pedicure (a real one). I haven't really thought much beyond that. 10 pounds is my first goal.
