I am working hard on my goals but this week seems to be giving me some trouble...or is it all in my head? I tracked religiously over the weekend and today. There was an inservice at work today and I was told they were providing lunch. Hey, free lunch! I'm not complaining! WEll I get there and lterally there are 2 large pizzas and 2 bottles of soda. That's the lunch! NO salad, nothing. At this point I am STARVING. I have to say, I overdid it a little...yes, I ate 4 pieces of thin crust pizza and a cup of diet soda. Not my most shining moment. But I tracked it, I ate a light breakfast (Finished up my last Jenny Craig cinnamon rolls, waa!) and a light dinner. And have a light snack planned for tonight so I don't feel deprived...and I met all my nutritional goals for the day! So...not a total failure?
Tomorrow I have a full day conference where they're feeding us breakfast and lunch. This is at a hospital so I'm really hoping there will be healthy choices! Breakfast I'm sure I can do fruit and something. And lunch they usually do sandwiches and salad. So I'm not too concerned...then tomorrow night...I have another date! So that means eating out all day tomorrow...but I can be good. I know I can!
I am not as nervous as I was for the last one...even though that one wasn't very good. This guy seems very...shall we say, pushy? So I'm going to have to show him that I'm nobody's fool ;). You don't lose 50 pounds without knowing how to kick some butt, hahahahaha. Anyway, he's a US Army Veteran who's going to nursing school on the GI bill. So I feel like we have a lot in common. He seems very nice and despite being a little clingy I think it could turn out well. I'll keep you posted ;). We're going to a very upscale Italian restaurant so it should be nice. I'm going out with him right after my conference so I hope I don't look awful! Wish me luck!
All in all, I think I'm doing well. But am I at my potential? No. I need to get my BUTT in gear. I need to be READY FOR SUMMER when this challenge is over...although, my pants are falling down! I went to the Goodwill today and I got 2 new pair of jeans (SIZE 16!!!!!!!!!!!!) One pair fits well but the other is just a little too small. I can button them but the muffin top it makes isn't good. But holy crap...I started at a size 26...and now I can fit into a 16? WOOO. THat's a NSV if I ever heard one! PLus I got this amazing Antropologie sweater in a Large (down from size 3XL) and it looks great. I'm going to wear that tomorrow with some black slacks, black flats, and a pretty blue shirt.
Hope everyone is having a nice Tuesday!

Wow! You have come a long way baby, size 16 FTW!!! So proud of you <3
ReplyDeleteKudos for tracking that pizza and making healthy choices to balance it out, sometimes you can't avoid what life throws at you and this week it was pizza LOL!
Good luck for your date, just remember that you don't have to settle. If that little voice inside whispers that something isn't right, listen to it because you are worth nothing less that Mr Perfect For You :)
You are showing so much confidence and self esteem, way to go girl! <3
If you're not sure that healthy food will be available, take some. Go to a grocery store if you're out of town. You don't have to eat pizza if you don't want to.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your date! Hope it goes well!
Congratulations on size 16! That is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nanette about healthy foods! Good luck on your date :)
I try to keep some sort of healthy snack in my bag/office at work just in case there are situations like that ... just a little something to hold me over until I can get home and eat properly -- like some nuts and dried fruit etc. It doesn't sound too appealing, but it works :)
