There are so many things in my life that I am thankful for. I have a loving family, a job I wake up anticipating every day and a fiance that I'm going to be crazy about for the next 60 years.
It's been a good weekend! I'm slowly but surely getting my unpacking accomplished and I can't wait for my Weight Watchers meeting tomorrow night! It's been 2 weeks since I've started the program, and due to an appointment last Tuesday night, tomorrow will be my first weigh-in since my original one *reliving that feeling of absolute horror over the number on the scale*
I can't wait to step on that scale!! I cheated a bit last night and got on the scale at my dad's place (I know that's a no-no but i was dying to find out) and it said I've lost....almost 9lbs!!!!
It feels absolutely amazing! Some of my work pants have already started to go baggy on me *huge grin*. The way I look at it, buying myself new clothes for this effort will be a huge reward! Not to mention the fact my self-confidence is boosting more and more every day and it's becoming more natural to choose healthy over junk.
I've also kicked the wedding planning into full gear! I'm in the process of booking the table linens for the reception, have already booked my fabulous cake lady (Thanks Andrea!!) and Marc and I have a meeting with our florist next Wed.
I'm waiting another 2 weeks (or going to try to) before trying on my wedding dress. It was fitting pretty snug when I tried it on a month ago so I'm interested to see exactly where it will be loose on me.
We went to my dad's for a birthday party last night and (as always) there was a bunch of junk food. I tried to portion it out and had tortilla chips with some dip and 2 small pieces of pizza (the first in I don't now how long). and for birthday cake, he had like 4 different kinds of cheesecake slices.
I resisted the urge to grab a spoon and huddle over the cake snarling "the Precious", and let myself have a small slice of mango flavored cheesecake. It was awesome! And by allowing myself a small portion of what was there and not denying myself completely, my craving (I'm starting to think they're purely psychological...I see it and I want it) was satisfied.
This week promises to be exciting and I can't wait to see the results tomorrow night!
Now I must run...I have a low-points version of chicken marinara in the slow-cooker at home.
That's right. Be jealous. *wink*
