Goodbye 250's!

This is a pic of the carot cakes, peanut butter balls, popcorn and other yummy foods I resisted last night.

See the yummy stuff I said "no" to last night? It totally paid off!

Last night I went to a PJ party with a group of women I absolutely adore. What are the chances that they would have a "Cake off" and the cakes featured were my FAVORITE kind of cake.  Carrot Cake.  My absolute favorite.  and cookies and ooey gooey popcorn and chips and dip and.... ok I'll stop now, you get the picture. I ate carrots, apples, cucumbers, celery, strawberries, and reduced fat wheat thins (only 16- thats a serving.) I was 250 yesterday and just on the verge of breaking out of the 250s.  I chose not to indulge in those yummy food, and it TOTALLY PAID OFF! I weighed in this morning at 248! Its the first time I've seen the 240s in about 5 years. I am SO EXCITED! I've lost a total of 24lbs in 57 days.  I know that had I made better decisions and not went on an eating binge a few weeks ago I would have a higher number now, and that does hurt a little but I am chosing to only look forward.

Hello 240's.  Even though I was excited to see you, you have become my new enemy.  I will work daily at making food choices that will ensure you must leave.  I will work even harder at exercising to make sure that you have no choice but to pack your bags and go away. Forever.
