Progress

On Friday I weighed 121.4 lbs. But it was the BFs birthday weekend.  I got out of eating dinner with him then, but we had plans for Saturday.  All things considered I did really well. I had brunch with a friend that was in town that morning. Ordered a relatively healthy scramble, and only ate until I started to get full. I ordered a veggie platter for dinner and barely dented it, but that's because I ate 1/2 a corn muffin and a piece of bread - at least it wasn't 2 pieces of bread (it was calling to me) or the whole muffin (it wanted me to eat it all and with butter!).  Dessert was beignets which were amazing seriously, I have never had these before, but I may never eat a regular donut again. I can't imagine the ones in New Orleans being much better. Still. I limited it to two which is how many the BF had. And stuck to 2 glasses of wine the whole night.

Sunday, I didn't do great, ate the last two beignets, some snickers minis, and had parmasean on popcorn for dinner. I ended up being 123.6 on Monday morning. Not super terrible for a birthday weekend.This morning I was back to 121.2! I didn't even do that well on Monday, caving to some candy that was left at work. But have steadily been getting better all week. I even did 30 Day Shred tuesday and today. My calorie intake yesterday and today has been around 700, which is definitely low. But, I have made a deal with myself that I can have what I am craving now, after the party. I only have next week left at my morning job (the one that doesn't pay well) so I only have those days to hit some good restaurants for lunch down town. Part of the deal is just 1 thing I have been craving a day. So no pizza and candy in the same day. Another part too is that I only eat half and have the second half for dinner at job #2.

I am also going to allow myself to not exercise next week between jobs. I just want to snuggle with Black Kitty (vet said she was okay, but she puked again last night!) and maybe clean/ tidy the house a little bit. I have not done a great job of that between needing to work out and making Halloween decorations for the party.

The BF loved his present. It is what he wanted to be for Halloween, but did know where to get stuff. Which made me really happy. And he thinks I'm crazy for wanting to do up his apartment Martha Stewart style. IF he had his way he'd put out 2 pumpkins, a pail of pumpkin beer and call it Halloween. He called it grade school since I am making the stuff, but then added, "what ever makes you happy."  And it does.
