Creating the new me

I had a great weekend all around. I ate well, had a good time with friends and family. Even went to a movie with DBF, we only go about once every two years believe it or not :)  We saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall and thought it was very cute and funny, we’ll probably buy it when it comes out, and since we only buy like 1 movie a year that says a lot too!

I ate well all weekend, and I had a huge NSV yesterday. We went to a chinese all-you-can-eat buffet, and it’s such good food. I had one small plate but only choose steamed veggies, steamed shrimp and some white rice. I know that there were probably some oil/butter with the steamed veggies and shrimp, but it was WAY better than the options I usually make. Then as a treat I went back for a tiny 2nd plate that had some sauteed mushrooms, one cheese rangoon, and 2 small pieces of General Tso’s chicken. The cheese rangoons and General Tso’s are my absolute favorite. But I filled up on the other stuff so I just wanted to “taste” my favorites. It was perfect!

The scale is totally happy with me too. Its down about 3 lbs from last Th WI. I just need to keep it up until Thursday this week and then my loss will be official. I am going to scrutinize everything I put in my mouth to make sure this great loss sticks around :) 

I haven’t been to the gym since last Thursday, so I’ll be hitting it hard. My goal is to make it there 5 times a week. I only made it there 4 times last week, which is still pretty good. I have a really rough schedule at work this week, but I’m gonna fit in a workout when I can, If I make it a priority I know it will happen!

Have a great OP Day!
