Happy Birthday to me!
Ok, an update is way overdue. And since I'm procrastinating about studying, I'll update everyone on my life!
Weight wise - only eh. I got down to 155.5 lbs on 12/19, but I think that number is artificially low, since I was sick as a dog that week and hardly ate. Then Christmas came and traveling back home, and I basically ate like poop for over a week. I ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it. Ice cream, Bob Evans omelettes, Chinese food, Christmas candy, whatever. The thing that surprised me is that most of those foods weren't even worth it. The Bob Evans omelette that I had been dreaming about (Farmers Market Omelette, if you must know) didn't taste as good as I remembered it. I should really try to remember that these foods that I have essentially "given up" really aren't worth it.
Anywho, I finally climbed back on the wagon on January 1st (sweated out the wine on the elliptical, let me tell you) and I'll get on the scale on Friday, January 9th to see where I stand. Since Fridays are my WI days, I could have weighed in on Jan 2nd, but I just didn't want to. I wanted a week to detox, drink water, flush out water weight, climb back on the wagon, and hopefully see a number in the 150's. Even if it's 159.5. I just don't want to go back to the 160's. Oh well, we'll see on Friday.
Non weight wise - my life is going great! Nick and I are doing awesome, and he's a freakin' saint for putting up with my healthy cooking everynight and all the time I spend away from him and at the gym. We've talked about getting engaged in the next year(ish) - he just needs time to save up for a ring. (Which is pretty awesome that we're on the same page about timing!)
Oh yeah, and it was my birthday yesterday. I turned 26 - EEK!!! Last year in my "mid-20's"! Yesterday was pretty uneventful, because the Colts were in the playoff game, and of course, they lost. BOOOOOOO. And Nick was sooooooooo upset when they lost. I swear, that boy acts like his dog dies when his teams lose. Anywho, Nick and I are celebrating by going to a nice restaurant tonight. SALMON. I'm getting salmon. Gotta remember to order the salmon and not some juicy steak.
Anyway, happy New Year and wish me luck on Friday!
