So today started off great, so happy to find that I have accomplished my goal and beyond, down 11 pounds exactly. I love seeing these numbers go down and love my BMI going down as well. I am 166.9 lbs and have a BMI of 24.6, which is not overweight anymore, I am normal! Feeling so good, now I am shooting to drop 7 more pounds to be at 160. So exciting. So “J” and are going out on our monthly date night, and heading to Beaujolais for some fine French Cuisine, so I am scouring nutrition info for comparable meals, so I can still keep track of what I am eating. We’ll see!

So I woke up, weighed-in, and then got ready for the day. We went by Raley’s to pick up some cookies for the Rugrats get together this afternoon, and I picked up some other things (including a package of Cadbury Crème Eggs, at 150 calories, they are so worth it). Then we headed to the mall to meet up with “S” for a walk. We did 2 ¾ laps, then let the kids play. Then she and baby “V” headed home, and the kids and I headed to Chuck E. Cheese for the Rugrats Event. We let the kids play there. My kids are really picky, so I always bring a PB&J for them, and I treated myself to the salad bar. I am trying to behave so I can indulge tonight.
Now we are back home and I am planning to rest while “P” is watching Mulan upstairs and “V” is down for his nap. I ended up having a late last minute get together last night with “S” and “F” at a bar. We all went out at 8pm, after the kids were down, then stayed out talking and nursing our 1 cocktail each until 11:45. It was great to be able to vent to my friends, this has kind of been a rough week. It was much needed, but now I am tired! Going to whip up something quick for my brother “T” to have for dinner while he is watching the kids, then lay down, I have been working hard!
Autumn! Great job! What an accomplishment. Doesn't it feel great to be taking charge and really accomplishing your goal? I am a ways away from my own weight loss goal (but only 6 lbs from the most recent baby weight) but making consistent progress, which just makes you feel on top of the world. So jealous of your trip to Ireland!
