last night's party was a total success! it was actually more of a dinner party, and there was a really healthy selection of food - shrimp, bbq chicken sandwiches, crinkle-cut fries (just baked), strawberries, lettuce, and put it on yourself dressing (including oil and vinegar!). i was very pleased. i filled up on strawberries, shrimp, and salad, with a few fries and a little bit of the bbq chicken (no bun). i decided to split a piece of cake and some ice cream with adam, and it was a delicious cherry chocolate. it was well worth it - and while it was a bigger dinner than it would have been at home, i felt totally in control.
today's challenge: being sensible at the bar when we celebrate patty's birthday. i looked up the menu - a few things look good, but nothing that's saying "you must eat me..." i'll probably just stick with a salad there. have a couple beers, and call it good. the goal for tonight - watching the alcohol.
big win for today: according to 24-hour fitness, i'm now at 20.9% body fat and considered "athletic." i was just "fit" the last time we did measurements. but according to the measurements today, i'm golden! i think something was off (the scale - it was saying i was way down, which isn't quite right in my mind), but hey, i'll take it. :)
me.

Tanya, I know your head hasn't been in the game lately. *Very* understandable given all you've got in your life right now. I don't know if getting to 155 (was that your goal?) will make a difference for you as compared to 170. I bet you've talked it over with your Mom and your ML the strategy of reaching the top of your weight range and calling that your goal. You could then maintain at that weight for some time until you feel the mojo again. And really, wouldn't maintaining at that weight be such a great victory? [BTW, maintenance is its own head game, so if you do decide to maintain at any weight, commit to it 100%.] In any case, it looks like you have a couple of days strung together of solid, on-plan days. Nothing like success to keep you going :-) I know I have not been on your journey and I'm no expert on your life or what works for you! I did want you to know that you definitely have my support -- Carol
