I'm not happy, I'm cheerful. There's a difference. A happy woman has
no cares at all. A cheerful woman has cares but has learned how to
deal with them.
-- Beverly Sills

Well this will probably be a fairly short post, as I'm feel rather under the weather today. It hit me like a ton of bricks, about 2 in the morning when I woke up with a sore throat, and this congestion stuff. No good, none at all.

A little review of March. Overall, I think it went good. I lost almost 2 lbs, which is better than I was hoping. I knew March would be a little rough on the weight loss front with a bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, a wedding and Easter all in the same month, I was just hoping to come out with a maintain. So I am definately happy with 2lbs. 2lbs gone!

The exercise, I did what I could. I ended up having to take a week off from the gym because I was sick, and I had some injuries I needed to let heal. But I still made it 10 of the 12 times I wanted to, and that's awesome.

So for April. This is going to be my month to shine, I just feel it! I would like to lose 3lbs, which would put me solidly in the 140's, where I have never been (seen it for a few weigh ins, but never stayed there). Plus it will get me past my next goal...which is my 10% lost, and only 1.1lbs away! Yeah!

As far as exercise, nothing too new and exciting, going to shoot for making it to the gym 12 times. Which should be easy to accomplish, even if I have to take a day off cause of this thing that is invading my body right now. Blah.

I had a good OP weekend, I always allow myself a little more leeway on Sundays, kinda don't worry as much about the 8GHGs and things. I figure I stick to it so well 6 of 7 days, one day won't kill me. But all days were good, and I stuck to my daily points range only. I made it to the gym yesterday.

Anyways, I'm going to get back to work, so hopefully I can go home, blah. I hope everyone had great OP weekends, and will continue them into this new week, and new month!

Huh?

Well I'm not complaining, it wasn't expected, I lost .6lbs this week. I wasn't expecting a loss because of easter, but I guess my self control paid off. I'm taking it and moving on. Goals for April and review of March coming tomorrow, stay tuned (I know your on the edge of your seats, lol).

Thorns

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns. I am
thankful that thorns have roses.

-- Allophones Karr

Hello everyone.

I'm OP still, I promise, even with the lack of posting. As with most people, when I'm not doing so hot OP, I usually post less, but, not the case right now, I've just been extremely busy at work, which is a good thing!

I'm actually doing really well on WW right now. There were a couple times this week where I was tempted to eat something, or whatever, but I avoided it, and managed to stick to my daily points all week. Except last night, when I used some activity points on ice cream.

Speaking of ice cream, Its one of my "issues" anyone who has read my blog for any amount of time knows that I have issues with nuts and ice cream. Well for the 40 days of lent, I gave up ice cream completely. Was so proud of myself. Go me. I really didn't even miss it after the initial like week of it being gone. Well I actually even vowed that I would not bring it back into the house afterwards, because well, I didn't miss it, and it was one of the things that called my name.

Well last night I'm down in my deep freezer looking for something, and of course, what do I find, a lone container of ice cream. I figure what the hell, I might as well bring it upstairs and at least start to finish it, then after that container done. Well of course I start with oh just one bite out of the container. Well needless to say, i stopped before I did any real damage, but it could've gotten bad. So what did I do, I put the damn container back in the deep freezer. When I want some I will go get it, scoop out my portion, and put it back down there. Problem solved.

I made it to the gym three times this week, not too bad, I was hoping for more, but I was honestly tired, and just didn't feel up to it. Three is good though. Thursdays work out was much much easier than tuesday, which is great.

Nothing really big planned for the weekend. Tonight the dog is getting a bath, and then I'm going grocery shopping, and hoping to be home on the couch to watch Michigan State play some good basketball....gotta root for the home-state team :)

Tomorrow I'm going to work on some painting, as I am having the roommates old room re carpeted, and I want to get it all touched up, before the carpeting goes in, since I am sloppy like that. Then probably some baking on saturday/sunday. And Chores. You know all that fun stuff.

Weigh in on Sunday, I'm not holding my breath, but thus far the scale is behaving himself (and yes, he's a man, since men suck most of the time, he is one lol). But I will report on Sunday

Until then, Everyone have a great weekend!

Stepping out of the norm

When you take a risk and step out of the norm, you run the risk and
sometimes you fail. But you only fail if you give up.

-- J Peterman

Good Morning/ Afternoon everyone. I'm posting a tad earlier than normal today..look at me being productive (or not productive in regards to work?)

I've had a good couple days on the WW front. I've been sticking to only my daily points, and getting in my 8 GHG's, so that's great. Plus I hit the gym on Sunday and I got some gym time in yesterday too. For some reason yesterday the gym really, really kicked my ass, I have no idea why! Sunday was a breeze, I felt great, like I could go longer, but yesterday, so not the case! Does anyone else experience this?

BL last night did anyone watch? What did you think? I was a VERY happy person. I'm not going to put details, in case there is someone who taped it and hasn't watched.

I'm really enjoying the house being empty (well besides me and the animals). I had the carpeting cleaned today, and plan to touch up the paint on the walls in her old room this weekend, and hopefully having it recarpeted within the next week or so. So that will be nice, they I can set it up as a guest bedroom, as my other spare bedroom is my office.

The scale, well he actually seems to be behaving himself, which is surprising since Easter was Sunday. I do expect a maintain or small gain, but as off now, it looks like it will be minimal, which would make me a very happy camper.

Other than that, nothing too exciting on the homefront. I hope everyone is having healthy days!

The Easter Wrap Up

"You can take from every experience what it has to offer you.
And you cannot be defeated if you keep just taking
one breath followed by another"
~ Oprah

So, first lets talking about weigh in. It went well. Better than I was expecting actually since TOM hadn't arrived yet. I lost 1.6 pounds. I was very happy with that.

Now onto Easter. What can I say....It could've been better....it could've been a whole lot worse.

The started of fabulous. I hit the gym, had my oatmeal and few pickings around the house, nothing drastic. And I went to the store and I had two easter candies I wanted, and I bought one of each, a peanut butter egg, and a cadbury creme egg. I cut 1/3 off the PB egg, and ate the 1/3 in three bites...yum. Did the same later with the creme egg...the 2/3 I didn't eat when down the food disposal.

Dinner went well, i took small portions of everything. But I did go back for seconds of this jello stuff I made, a pineapple bake I made...and another piece of bread. Still no biggie, even seconds were small portions.

During cleanup I did pick a little, but nothing terrible. Now for dessert I had a brownie and a cream puff with ice cream.

Still like I said, not bad. I mean altogether, i could've avoided seconds, could've picked one dessert, but overall I think I did ok. How did everyone else's easter go?

I'm going to try to get to the gym and extra time this week, I know I will probably see a small gain this week, but hey, it's life, gotta live it right?

Ok, back to work, we're crazy busy, but wanted to report on my easter and weigh in! Hope you all had a great one!

Luck

"Remember: Success is nothing but luck, just ask any failure"
~Anon

I thought this quote was fitting for today, because it's sarcastic, and since I love sarcasm, it's nice :) But this quote is so true, if you talk to anyone who has failed, they always have excuses, bad timing, bad luck, or a variety of other excuses. But all of us who have worked hard to achieve what we have no that there is really nothing lucky about it, there is alot of planning and hardwork that goes into succeeding at what we do.

I've pretty much got my easter baking wrapped up, and I'm glad to say it was a success, and I stayed out of what I was making...YES! My mom wanted brownies for dessert tomorrow along with the cream puffs, so I made a half tray. I do want one, and I think I will have a small one tomorrow. I cut them into small pieces. Also made the cream puffs as I discussed before. Made some whole wheat bread and some ribbon salad (which of course I used sugar free jello in!). Then I convinced my mom to let me bring some of the fresh sweet corn I froze over the summer for the veggie, that was I control that it's not full of butter or anything. Look at me go :) Tomorrow will be a success.

Tomorrow is weigh in, and I would assume I will have a loss, although I don't think it will be huge, as TOM still hasn't decided to come. So maybe next week? Another reason to stay relatively OP tomorrow.

Planning on hitting the gym tomorrow, and today I got some exercise cleaning the darn driveway. Welcome to spring in Michigan....with 8 inches of snow!

Alright, well I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter, and I'll report on Weigh in Monday!

Lessons

"Life is a succession of lessons which
must be lived to be understood"
~Thomas Carlyle

So, I kinda have a NSV, well kinda. In a round about way. LOL. Of course it's Easter time, we all know this. And along with this time of year comes all the temptations, including easter candy, and of course, the good ol' work potlucks. Well today was our easter dinner at work. The informed me yesterday that I would be bringing brownies and a jello thingy. Well last night I made homemade brownies (I never did this before...always used boxed!). Well of course I have a problem with licking things while I am cooking. Well I was good, I didn't eat any of the chocolate chips I put in the brownies (and yes! there were extras!), and I didn't get a spoon and start eating the brownie batter (yes! this was a tempting proposition!), but I did get some licks in. And I also licked a few times when i was preparing the light orange jello thingy I make. But the NSV you ask? I counted the points for it. Now give or take, I only counted like 4 points, but I really think it was fair. Before, I never would have counted the points.

Now today at work, of course I was tempted by all the food, and the brownies. I stole a small piece of the brownie, but I am counting the points for that. Plus I few licks here and there, but I'm planning to count like 4 or 5 points, I figure it's fair. But other than that, I stayed out of everything, and I think that is awesome in itself! So yay!

Other than that, everything is going well. Planning to hit the gym tonight, and maybe tomorrow. We are suppose to possibly get some snow tomorrow, although they aren't sure yet...possibly 5 to 8 inches....nice first day of spring present huh? I'm so ready for the warmer weather.

Weigh in will be on Sunday, and I'm really hoping to be down! I've done well this week, and hopefully TOM will be started by then. So we shall see.

Anyways, I'm running late posting today, so I gotta finish up stuff here at work, but hope everyone is having a healthy and OP day!

Now

"Go for it now, the future is promised to no one"
~Wayne Dyer

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a couple days since an actual update. We've been a little busy at work, and once I get home, I have been enjoying my quiet house.

On that note, some of my roommates shit is still at my house. I mean honestly have you ever seen someone make a 3 week production out of moving? If you haven't, come on over to my house, you can see all the boxes laying all over my house...But on that note, she hasn't been staying there since Saturday evening, and her stuff will be completely moved out by Saturday afternoon. So the light at the end of the tunnel is there. Wonderful!

I found a new product that I wanted to tell you guys about. Crystal Light has the on the go packets, but they just recently came out with ones with 3g of Fiber in them. So you get 10 calories and 3 grams of fiber, with the fiber (and then the 16 ounces of water mixed in) they are pretty filling, and the taste was good. They are a little expensive, luckily I'm not on a budget. Check um out!

Tonight I am having dinner with a friend, very excited about that...Olive Garden..I love olive garden. They have a new apricot chicken I have had before, and it's very yummy. If you guys haven't went and had it before, you should try it.

I feel like a commercial for new products today, I apologize.

So I've decided how I am going to handle Easter. First of all, I am bringing the dessert (like that ingenuity there?) Which I've decided I will make cream puffs (and make them small) and I will use sugar free pudding and fat free cool whip for the filling. So they will only be 3 or 4 pointts each....go me. As for dinner. I am not going to count points. I will be on plan before going to my moms, and the minute I leave, but I will not count points at dinner....BUT, I will watch my portions. I can have what I would like to eat, but just a small portion, and then one cream puff. I can't get myself in too much trouble. That's my way of enjoying a holiday on WW's. Unlike previous holidays where it was a get out of jail free card, and I could eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, and it was food for all. So that's my plan. I'm sticking to it.

Going to hit the gym tonight before dinner, so that will be the second time this week. I'm actually not looking forward to going tonight, I'm kinda tired (the weather is crap here today, so that has something to do with it). BUT I am going to go. How's that for motivation?

Alright back to work for me, but I hope everyone is doing well, and having OP days!

Weigh In

I gained 1.4lbs this week. I'm not upset about it. My normal TOM gain. I honestly was expecting more of gain (beyond my normal TOM gain) because I figured I gained more last week than the scale actually showed. So I'm good with it. Onto next week....here's to a big loss!

Got back to the gym for the first time this morning in 9 days. It was hard, not gonna lie, but felt totally great!

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Respecting yourself

He that respects himself is safe from others; He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Today Roni had a good post about how she finally figured out what was making her so munchie. She had been having the same problems I had lately, she was just hungry, snacky, munchie. And she said she finally figured it out, it was her lack of sleep that had been making her that way. It dawned on me that that could very well be my problem. It's only been the past week or so that I have been crazy munchy, and I haven't been feeling well, I've been busy, and I haven't been sleeping well. I feel exhausted, so that very well could be it!

No huge plans this weekend. The roommate is moving out on Saturday.....YES! So saturday night will be spent enjoying my new found solitude and relaxing. I plan on making some Shamrock shaped sugar cookies for the guys at work on Monday, that should be fun. Other than that, nothing too exciting.

Not expecting a loss on Sunday, being TOM is ever so present. Oh well. At least I know it's a water weight gain. I'm ok with it.

The weather here will be gorgeous! Today it's 56 and sunny out, a little taste of spring. And the weekend is going to be warm, maybe not that warm, but still warm. I am hoping to maybe take the dog out for a walk, or get out rollerblading once this weekend. I also intend to hit the gym on Sunday so long as I am feeling up to it.

Anyways, I gotta get back to work, and Have great weekends everyone!

Tough Lessons

A tough lesson to learn in life is that not everyone wishes you well.
-- Dan Rather

I thought this quote just resonated with me today, because I haven't been feeling much support from my family lately in terms of my weight loss. You know I am one of those few people who is blessed with a wonderful family. I have parents who would do anything for me, and love and support me. I have brother who are wonderful. But my mom hasn't been supportive of my weight loss, even when she asks how it's going, there is always that tone in her voice. She constantly makes stuff she knows I can't eat, and doesn't bother to even consider whether or not I can eat it. Then when I don't want too, she gets offended and tells me one meal won't make me fat. So perhaps that is where some of my lack of motivation lately is coming from too, not feeling the support. But the quote above makes me realize that not everyone is going to be a cheerleader for you (thank god I have you guys!). But I'm doing this for me, no one else, and that should be enough to keep me going.

I added a little tracker in the side bar as a ticker until "next goal". My next goal right now is my 10%, which I hit months ago before taking some time off (and the holidays lol), so I have 1.9 pounds until that goal, so so doable! Like I said this week won't be a loss, but I'm hoping I can reach that by April 1st.

I feel completely lazy not going to the gym this week. I go home and feel like I have nothing to do. Kind of an odd feeling. I'm actually looking forward to getting back to the gym. But it's a good thing I took this week off regardless, I'm not feeling well, and I ended up with one of my toes being severely infected yesterday, so it was very painful, and I doubt I would've been able to run regardless...so I guess all things happen for a reason. On a high note though, my ankle which had been acting up again is feeling better, so that is very encouraging!

I have been very very hungry lately, so I am eating more, but I'm counting it. Last night I even tried to count the extra veggies I've been eating (but who got fat eating veggies right?). I'm still getting in all my 8GHG's and all that, so I'm doing well.

I've been teetering on whether or not I will take Easter Sunday as a day off plan. I don't have many days where I just don't worry about tracking, but usually major holidays (Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving) I take off. I almost don't want too, because I want to reach goal, but then what is an extra week tacked on to when I might reach my goal. Got to live a little once in awhile right? So we'll see, What are you guys doing about Easter Sunday?

I really want a Shamrock Shake right now....but do you know how many pts those things are? Holy smokes...12oz....9 pts! OMG! I would probably truthfully only be able to drink about half anyways....but still 5 pts!

I tried Couscous last night for the first time. It wasn't bad! I did buy whole wheat, which I don't know if there is much of a difference between that or regular, but I enjoyed it. Kinda a cross between rice and pasta. Always looking for something new to try.

Anyways, I better get back to work, but thank you all for such nice comments on the pictures, and also for being so encouraging, I appreciate you guys more than you know!

Succeeding

"Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough."
~Og Mandino

I don't know why, but my motivation has been rather weary as of lately. I'm not off plan, nothing like that, but I haven't been tracking every bite either. You know, stupid stuff, like sneaking an extra bite of dinner when I'm cleaning it up, or licking spoons too much, etc. It hasn't helped I have a lot going on in my life (still no excuse), but I have had a house in upheavel because the roommate is moving out. The wedding threw my schedule all off. I haven't been feeling well. And I think it's all just adding up. It's been extra hard to remain on plan, especially since I know that I won't be losing this week....but I'm hanging in there.

I think this time of year comes too and I get a little antsy, because I'm ready for the weather to turn, and become nice, and Michigan hasn't been helpful in that department this year. So does anyone have an extra motivation they can lend me? I really want to get these last couple pounds off!

I have noticed that my weight loss seems to be better when I'm blogging alot more, so I am going to make more of an effort to update Monday thru Friday. It is hard this time of year since it's busy season at work, but I'm going to try.

Thanks to those of you who left nice comments yesterday. It's encouraging when I hear people tell me that I could probably use a break from the gym for a week. I feel gulity about it, so to hear people say it's needed makes me feel a tad better. It has been three months of going, and the first break I've taken, so I need it.

Anyone else hate this spring forward time change? It seriously has my body all out of whack. I'm ready for the weekend and some good sleep! lol.

Anyways, I better get back to work, but have a healthy happy day!

Strength

There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down,
the other is pulling up.

-- Booker T. Washington

Well hello everyone. I hope you guys had a great weekend!

A little bit of a recap of mine. Friday of course was crazy crazy busy with the wedding. I was up early, hit the gym, and then managed to get home, get a shower, and make it into the salon where we were getting hair and make up done on time. We left the salon about 315, and I stopped home to let Duke out and grab a quick (and healthy) bite to eat (they all stopped for pizza). I ate minimally earlier in the day since I knew I would have a rather points-intensive evening. So I jetted over to where we got ready, go all jazzed up and we made it to the church in time for the ceremony which went off without a hitch (and I managed to make it down the aisle...without falling!). After that we took a limo from the church to the reception, I had about half of a beer on the ride, and when we got to the reception I was starving! So first they put salads on the table, which of course I devoured, with minimal Italian dressing. When it came time to hit the food line I was busy, so by the time I made it through, the first round of food was looking rather empty, but they hadn't put out the fresh. I skipped mashed potatoes, roast beef and Fetticune Alfredo. I loaded up on steamed veggies (which I'm sure of course had something on them, but still they were the better choice) and some chicken. I had two small pieces of chicken which of course I peeled the skin off of. Well I got busy again and never got seconds, and really what I ate the first time wasn't much.

Well I did well all evening, I danced, I drank diet cokes, I did wonderfully, until about 11p when I sat down and realized how tired and hungry I was. Well at this point I got into the nuts, which anyone who has been reading for any amount of time knows my love hate relationship with nuts. Im sure I ate lots of points in nuts. But you know, that was the worst thing I had all night, and I went into the evening with like 20 points. So could I have avoided them? yes. But could I have done worse (aka, the dessert table, which was filled with good things?), yes! So it's done it's over. I'm happy.

Wasn't upset about gaining a pound this week, I had one bad night, and I had dinner out for the rehearsal, and the wedding. And I'm sure I ate a ton of sodium friday night, which of course had me retaining water...so not upset in the least.

It is a bummer that next week is my TOM gain, so I have two weeks before a loss...bah humbug.

This virus thing is kicking my ass. It sucks.

On that note, I'm kinda pist about it, but I'm forcing myself to take a week off from the gym. I think my body can badly use it. They said 7 to 10 days at the hospital yesterday. Plus on top of that, awhile back I twisted my ankle pretty good, and for some reason it's been acting up, so I think my body needs a rest. So a week from tomorrow I will go back to the gym, I'm not letting myself go before then (I'm kinda getting addicted to it, and that might be as bad as it is good...if that makes sense).

This week is my last week of having a roommate, I am so excited. I can't wait until I can enjoy a quiet house (hopefully) on Saturday evening.

Yesterday eating was good, and today things have been fine too.

Anyways, that's it for now, I'm catching up on your blogs! Have healthy day!

Wedding Pictures.

Well, Being sick on the couch, I wanted to post two pictures I stole from a friends myspace today of the wedding. One is of my brother and I dancing that night, and the other is My three brothers, my new sister in law and I as we were getting photographs taken right after the cermony. Enjoy.



Posted by Picasa

Weigh In

Well I weighed in the this morning gaining 1 pound. I'm really not upset about it, it's not nearly as bad as it could've been with the week the way it has been. So It's over and done with and on to the next week.

I went to urgent care this morning, as I woke up with a terrible sore throat and head cold. I was told I was out of luck, it is just the virus that is going around...nothing they can do about it. I will be down and out for 7 to 10 days they say....ugh.

Anyways, update on the wedding and stuff tomorrow :)

Believing

"Desire, Ask, Believe,Receive"
~Stella Mann

Quick post today! I am running behind.

First a little bit of a gripe. Tonight is rehearsal dinner for my brothers wedding on Friday. Well, when we were planning the menu for said dinner, my mom and I picked out the entrees that would be served. Well after much much bitching on her part, she let me put a healthy thing or two on the menu (seriously, she was being terrible about it). So today I asked to see the menu, really so I could plan what I was going to eat, and the only healthy thing on the menu is Salmon. Which I like fish, but I am not a Salmon fan. So what am I going to get stuck eating? Something I don't like. I'm not happy about it. There was suppose to be like a Linguine Marinara or something similar on the menu, which was what I was planning to have, but she switched it to Alfredo...ugh. Sorry for griping.

I've been OP since my little incident earlier in the week. I'm kicking this cold..FINALLY, after like 2 weeks. I managed to get to the gym last night, even though I totally could've used the excuse of being way too busy! So thats a bit of a NSV in itself!

I'm planning on getting to the gym again either tomorrow night or Friday morning. I am thinking probably Friday morning, since I have the day of work for wedding stuff, and it would give me a few extra points to play with at the wedding reception.

My plan for both the dinner tonight, and the reception on Friday night is the same as it has been for other events lately, I can eat anything on the veggie tray for free (minus dip of course!), and I will choose the best choices possible. I'm sure at the reception they will have chicken or something of the sorts. Should be able to handle it no problemo. Kathy is my wedding buddy for this weekend. We will keep each other on plan!

We got about 6 inches of fresh snow here overnight, gotta love March snow storms! The roads were a disaster this morning, luckily it has cleared up, the sun is shining, and the roads and everything have melted off, so it's not messy....just pretty ;)

Anyways, I gotta finish up some stuff around here, but I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Confessions

Ahhhh, I didn't have a good night last night. Let me set the scene for you guys.

Yesterday morning I woke up feeling about the worst I've felt since I've been fighting this cold, had a crappy day at work, which lead to me even feeling worse. Plus on top of that, I was feeling like crazy, like stomach growling hungry.

So I go home and I have my normal snack. Then I have yogurt with cereal. Then I have some carrots. The I got into the Peanut Butter and Homemade Honey Wheat Bread I made. I put the bread in the freezer finally. Then I started on the graham crackers, which luckily, after 3, I stopped. Then I got back on track, right then.

Mind you, I used a substantial amount of Flex Points on my little escapade, but I did track it, or at least tried. I mean how does one estimate the amount of Peanut Butter they consumed when they are eating out of the jar? But I still have a few Flex left for the week, so at least I didn't use them all?

I finished up the night by eating a small portion of dinner.

On a high note? I feel much much better today, perhaps the "feed a cold, starve a fever" thing has some truth to it?

Back on track today, I just had to confess....I feel better now.

The plan for the rest of the week, get to the gym an extra time (which will be hard, I know), don't eat any activity points, nor what flex I have left.

So I'm back to work now that I've confessed to not being such a good WW.

The Truth

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it's not
going to go away.
~ Elvis Presley

Sorry it's been a few days since an actual update. Work has been kinda crazy. But Happy March everyone!

I'm glad to see February go. Not that it was a bad month, I am just ready for a little bit warmer weather, and the possiblity of spring being around the corner. My February goals panned out ok. I didn't show a loss on the scale for the month, which was really kind of a bummer, because I really worked hard, and I stayed On Plan, but I am shrinking, clothes are fitting better, so I think I lost inches, just not pounds. Plus my goal for the gym last month was to get there 13 times...well I made it 14 times...So I was happy with that.

So a few goals for March, even though they really aren't big goals, they are enough for March, because March will be hard for me.

1. Make it to the gym 12 times. Very Reasonable.
2. Lose 3lbs. I am hoping this isn't over my head. But Being I lost two already, I think I will be ok.

So Simple, two goals for the month. I think I can handle it ok.

This weekend was pretty uneventful. The Roommate is moving out the weekend on March 15-17, which is something to look forward too. Friday night, I just hit the gym, then the grocery store, and hit bed early since I wasn't feeling stellar. Saturday did some running around, and then went out with my brothers and some of their friends. Sunday just finished up some stuff around the house.

This week will be busy, Haircut tomorrow, Rehearsal dinner Wednesday, Wedding Friday. I should be able to stay OP through these events no problem. I am planning on hitting the gym two more times this week (I went yesterday also).

I have been extremely hungry the last couple days, which is always rough, I hate it when I am actually hungry (like stomach growling hungry). But I've been doing a good job staying OP, and I haven't used any flexies yet.

Alright I really gotta get back to work, but I hope everyone is having a great day!

Weigh In

I weighed in this morning with a loss of 2 pounds! I was very happy with that! Less than 7lbs to go!
