Changes

I hope everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day! For M and I it was very low key, which was fine with me. I made a spaghetti dinner for M on Saturday night and french toast Sunday morning before I headed to my sister-in-law's for some girl time with her and my nieces.

Official weigh in day is tomorrow, but as of this morning I weighed in at 189.4. I still have a long way to go, but it feels great to be out of the 190's!

Something I have noticed now that I am seeing changes... it is so much easier for me to make the right choices. For example, someone brought in donuts today (and last Friday, too) and I had no problem saying no when they were offered to me. I also was fine with turning down a high calorie Italian place for lunch last week (and I looooove pasta!!). I still participate in weekly lunches at our favorite Mexican place with my favorite co-workers once a week, but on those days I watch my portion sizes and drink plenty of extra water. These things would normally be hard for me to do, but not so much anymore. And it feels wonderful. I don't deprive myself of anything... I even had a few pieces of chocolate yesterday. But everything in moderation.

In other news I decided on the LG enV for my new phone. I decided against the touch screen. I don't know, I guess I am just old school when it comes to phones. I don't like touch screens, I don't use them to browse the internet, and I could care less about the options it has for music. Heck, I hardly even talk on the phone - I avoid it as much as I can, so basically I mostly use my phone for texting. And taking pictures of my nieces. The phones were buy one get one free, so we got one for M, too. Now HE can text too!

Work is calling me... I will be catching up on your blogs, later.
