2 weeks???

I can't believe I haven't updated this thing in two weeks!! Wow! Well, I've been crazy busy, so I haven't had much time to think about updating. I have some great news though! In the past two weeks, I've lost an additional 2.6 pounds. At this point, I am 9 pounds from my Weight Watchers Goal weight. I am determined to get there by my friend's wedding on September 13. I hope I can be close to Lifetime by that point, but I'll take just reaching my goal by then.

I'm a bit worried about my weigh in this week. I spent the weekend in Atlanta for a bachelorette party and we ate at Cheesecake Factory on Saturday. It was delicious and I tried to pick a somewhat healthy option there. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and only ate about 1/4 of the chicken and 1/2 the rice. I did indulge in a slice of cheesecake (vanilla bean is delicious!!) and 1 fruity mixed drink. However, I also spent over 6 hours shopping and walking around in the heat in Atlanta that day. We also did more shopping for about 3 hours yesterday. I am just focusing on getting my water and fruits and veggies in for the rest of the week. I'll try to update on Thursday night after my weigh in.

1.8 BABY!!!

WOO HOO!!! I am down 1.8 this week!! That brings me back to 176.6. I am only .8 away from my lowest weight since starting WW. I am going to surpass that this week!!! :D

It's been almost a week since I updated...

I can't believe it's been that long since I updated! I have my weigh in tonight and I peeked at the scale this morning and it is showing me 1.2 down since last week. Hopefully, that will still be the case at 5:30 tonight!

I am doing really well with my journaling and water this week. I got a good swift kick in the rear on Monday when my friend reminded me that we only had 2 months until the wedding we are both in. Yeah, that's enough to give me the kick in the butt I needed! I chugged my water, walked at lunch, at a delicious salad with grilled chicken, pears, cranberries, candied nuts (1 tbsp), baby spinach, grape tomatoes, feta cheese and a blueberry balsamic vinaigrette. YUM!!

Yesterday was a coworker's birthday. My boss ordered pizza for everyone and I planned ahead and brought a big salad with me. I had 1.5 slices of pizza and a big salad. When I got hungry later, I had a Weight Watchers 2 point snack bar. Last night, my husband decided to fix pasta for dinner. I knew if I ate that after eating pizza earlier in the day that my weigh-in tonight would not go well. I had a bowl of cheerios and a half a PB & J sandwich. I'm going to have the pasta tonight for dinner.

For breakfast today, I had a bowl of multi-grain cheerios and a banana with skim milk. My lunch is going to be awesome! I bought a pre-made/pre-portioned bowl of chicken tortilla soup from Kroger today. The whole thing is 2 points!! I am also having another yummy salad with baby spinach, feta, turkey bacon, cranberries, almonds, and Lite Raspberry-Walnut Vinaigrette. My goal for today with water is to have my 8 glasses of water down by 2:00. I don't want to drink a lot much past then since I have my Weigh In at 5:30.

well, I guess that's enough for one post! I need to go fill up my water bottle again and then get back to work!
