Yesterday we had a meeting at work which meant a lot of sitting and thanks to Teresa (our Admin.) lots of good food to eat. Here's the setup....we sat at table with bowls (yes bowls) of candy sitting in front of each one of us, plus Panera bagels (even those super yummy cinnamon crusted ones) for breakfast and then Olive Garden for lunch. I must have a LOT more willpower than I used to because I managed to make it through the whole day and only had 1/2 of a blueberry bagel, one serving of cheese ziti (rather than the lasagna that I really wanted), salad and only ONE breadstick. Okay I know, I shouldn't have had any breadsticks but my willpower isn't that good ~ other people were eating at least two of them so I though just eating one was pretty good.
The tough thing was after I got home from work Mike and the kids wanted to go out and grab something for dinner. We had originally decided on a small diner, which according to Mike has really good food and would have nice salads that I would enjoy. Those plans were canceled when we pulled up to witness all the "blue" hairs in there enjoying their dinner. I didn't want to take in my probably not well behaving children to ruin their peaceful dinners. Cici's Pizza it is!!! Again, I managed to have willpower and only had salad and a few pieces of pizza without eating the crust.
To my surprise when I woke up this morning I found that I actually lost .5 lb!!! Yeah ~ 10 more lbs to go till I reach my initial goal!! Once I get to that number I will reassess my weight and see if I still need to lose some more. My goal weight is set at 3 lbs more than I weighed when I got married. I am so proud of myself ~ I am still exercising ALMOST every day and eating way healthier than I ever have in the past!! Now if I can just get my water intake to where it needs to be all should be good.
