I decided to wait a few extra days before blogging because I had a slight set back Friday night.

My first mistake was deciding that I deserved something special so I got hot and sour soup and shrimp dumplings from P F Changs for dinner. It was wonderful. At that point I realized I had just consumed 3 days worth of sodium in 1 meal and figured since I was already not eating well I would just continue to indulge. SO I went to the store and bought not 1 but 2 pints of wonderful ice cream and a bag of cadbury mini eggs. Wow.

I realized my severe lack of judgement shortly after arriving home and put the ice cream in the freezer for Nathan. (who by the way ate both pints in one sitting and did not gain a pound.). I had a handful of mini eggs and threw out the rest. What a waste of money!!

So, since I had such a rough Friday I decided to wait a
Few days to weigh in. I'm proud to report though that I am down a total of 15.4 pounds!! Yea!

219 (minus 15 and counting!)

I'm very happy to report that I am down 15 pounds from the first of the year! It feels great and I am hoping to not lose momentum as I get closer to summer and beach time.

I really need to start back exercising. I suppose that's my next goal. I need to figure out how to integrate exercise into my routine. It's not easy. I work a lot of hours and when I'm home I want to spend that time with Nathan and Zoe. If anyone has any suggestions let me know!

My black pants are too big! It's very exciting! That's never happened to me before.

I went to eat lunch with Mom today and ordered well. I just got a bowl of hot and sour soup. BUT I ate some of Mom's and some of Zoe's lunch. It was delicious and I'm super full, but I feel my lunch choice was poor.

Eating a light dinner and hopefully will keep my new weight on Monday.

I just had to throw in an extra post since I was down almost 2 more pounds!

I am going to try and remember to bring my walking shoes to work tomorrow. (I think).

As further motivation I've decided to treat myself for each 10 pounds I lose. Any recommendations for my most recent 10 pound loss? A non food item of course. Help me treat myself by giving me ideas guys.

I've been trying really hard this week.

Sam asked if I would go walking with her during our lunch breaks at work. To me, this sounds miserable.

I'm going to be in work clothes and she wants me to put on tennis shoes and go for a walk? Aggh.

Ok, ok. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the motivation Sam. I do need it.

I'm very excited to be down a full 10 pounds! I feel like stomach
Has shrunk a little bit and I have not been as hungry through out the day. What a blessing!

For dinner i've made crock pot chicken and artichokes. Can not wait!
