Last weeks weigh in.

I completely forgot to post on Friday! My weigh in days are Fridays, and last week I weighed in at 187.4. I lost 3.8 lbs last week!! After having such a feeling of accomplishment, I wish I could pull a number like that every single week! It just feels amazing to see some actual progress in only 7 days. Over the weekend my parents and hubby made comments about how great I'm starting to look. I just love it!!

Anyway, today I am really struggling. It's snowing hard, which means no lunch time walk. I brought soup for lunch that just doesn't sound good at all, and I'm really craving a grilled cheese and fries from the cafe next door. However, I've got my goals in mind, and right now I'm chomping down an apple with some water, and think I may run to subway for lunch. I have to be honest and say I was 100% ready to give in to the grilled cheese and fries temptation, but after thinking about it now, I just know it wouldn't be worth it. We are getting family pictures taken on the 21st (all of John's family) and I want to look my best! Hoping to drop a few more lbs before then, so I've got to keep that in mind.

Tonight we have a date to go to our friends house and have ribs. I'm excited to go see them, but not excited for the calorie-filled dinner. Plus they live 45 minutes away, which means I wont be having time to work out tonight. I know this is just part of life, and that I cant prepare my own meals every single day, and ALWAYS have time to exercise. It's just hard to deal with sometimes because I know how well I can do when I'm able to stick to my somewhat strict structure.

I'm hoping the weather clears up for the rest of the week so I can get my 2 mile walks in every day. I did my walk every day last week and I know that has something to do with my 3.8 loss.
