Back on Track

Well, the good news is I haven't gained any weight this past week. I had a bad day on Superbowl Sunday and a bad day yesterday. I plan on being good until this Saturday for V-Day. Sam is taking me out to P.F. Chang's for dinner, so I am going to use that as my splurge for the week.

I've eaten really healthfully the rest of the time. I'm trying to "link and balance" my meals like the book says I need to and it really seems to be working. I'm determined to hit 168 by the end of the month! Only 1.5 pounds so I should definately be able to do it.

I had a longgg day at work today but this weather has turned around and it is 50* F today. It reminds me of my July honeymoon and my goal. I definately would like to be 150 pounds by wedding da. I think that is definately realistic. So long as I stick to my plan and keep taking my medicine to help aide me in my weight loss.

I'm going to hit the treadmill tonight for a light workout. I really haven't worked out since my surgery in December. I'm just going to start small with 15 minutes tonight. I can definately handle that.

On a side note: I need to make cupcakes tomorrow. My mentor teacher (I'm doing my student teaching as part of my Master's Degree at a high school in English) has a birthday on Wednesday so I thought I'd bake her something since she has a sweet tooth. I'm NOT going to eat one. I promise myself this now....*wait until Saturday night's dinner!!!* I think I'll enjoy my dinner more knowing that I've made sacrifices throughout the week.

I've really enjoyed reading everyone's progress again. Hopefully I haven't lost too many readers/support system in the shuffle between surgery and everything. It was tough, but I'm definately back on track!
