Thanks to all of you guys!! :) Wow, i am totallly loving this birthday!!! :D

Kate, I will be sure to post a mid-way pic! I thought of taking some but I don't think 7lbs is a big enough loss just yet to show too much of a difference. But we'll see!! Maybe I can have FH snap some tonight!!
 
Hey sweetie! Just wanted to stop in and say hello! Looks like your having a great one with your 3.5 # loss!! That is awesome!! Keep up the good work!!

Oh and .....

HAPPY
BIRTHDAY!!!!
 
Hi again guys! Well here's my slight birthday confession.. my co-workers were VERY sweet to me this year and brought in lunch and cup cakes to celebrate! AND champagne. Its kind of a tradition we do this for every birthday. But honestly I thought they'd forgotten, SO I had packed a nice plain bagel, with some light cream cheese and a slice of turkey meat as my "light lunch". Uhm.. and I ate that at 11am. Our little shindig started around 12:30/1pm. Oops! I just didn't know.. so I had to have aw ee bit of salad. At least the sandwiches were small. And they kept refilling my champagne glass. :( no clue on these calories.. but. I am drinking lots of water. And will be good at dinner, since my choice and options there are my decision! :D Just had to confess to someone!! :)
 
Happy Birff-day!!!!!

Hello, Newleaf :) You didn't think we'd forget did ya??! LOL It's your birthday so don't feel too guilty over your "treats" at work. Hope your day (and night) goes well for your special day :) Congrats on the loss as well - keep up the good work!

Journaling: So yesterday, I can't say I didn't go a little more nutty than intended. I was as good as I thought I could possibly. Its hard to reject food thats specially brought in for your birthday. So it was a fun day, and I'm back on track this morning so I am not going to dwell on it or feel guilty.:rolleyes: Plus you all told me here, I shouldn't. :D I am feeling still really good about my weight loss and my future intentions of losing weight! :) My sister just emailed me, who is also on this journey has emailed me and wanted to see if I wanted to try a week long challenge with her, doing 1200 calories and two work outs a day, just to see how much we could lose doing double the exercise sort of. :D So I am gonna give it a shot! She's struggling to lose her post-pregnancy weight, and really could use to see a big drop! :) So this will be fun. Plus I get to go up and see all my family in March, and would love to surprise them with a slimmer version of me!!

Downside of today:failed to make it to the gym at all today. :( FH wanted to have a trip out to Best Buy after work, and we wound upi there much longer then intended. SO tired today! Definitely will be up and at the gym early tomorrow.

Well unlike Kate and Paula, I can not complain about my weather here. We have a potential high of 60, and its sunny and gorgeous out!! It is truly bizarre weather. Although my dogs are absolutely loving it, took them to the dog park for an hour, and now they are filthy and covered in mud, but luckily sleeping on their beds because they wore themselves out! ;) Goodness, its like havin children and their naps. hehe! :D Feelin really good about my work out today. Need to drink more water..and tomorrow starts my own week challenge with my sister..yay! ;)

Not the healthiest dinner.. ate a small slice of keish, which wasn't so hot, and I ate around all the cheese baked on top. Never had it before. And probabl shouldn't of had the twizzlers, but I needed some sort of munchie at the movie! :D

Hey! Just stopping by to check on you. You are doing such a great job! You are dong a great job of keeping your calories on track, even with the twizzlers. :p

Keep up the good work!
 
You're doing great... Twizzlers were a much better choice than some of the other options out there! Don't sweat it! Starting your two-a-days tomorrow? You go girl!:D
