My week in a nutshell...

So I haven't been posting much lately because things have been so hectic. My mom is down visiting from Ontario so most of my time is spent catching up with her plus I had my graduation ceremony on Friday so I was tied up with that for a while. I weighed in on Friday (not sure why I weighed in 2 days early but I did) and I was down another 1.5 lbs! So I was really quite pleased with that. So for the 3 weeks I have been on my new meal plan (well almost 3 weeks, officially three week on Monday) I have lost 11.5 lbs. I feel fantastic!! I think it is just the jump start I needed. I even bought a new dress for graduation and I felt so great in it! I didn't want to take it off!!! I can't wait until July when we have a wedding to go to and I can wear it again! I still can't even believe my eyes when I look at the tag and see a size small!! I am going to post a picture of before and after...I really don't have many before pictures because I would never let someone take a picture of my in full length....I always positioned myself for the chest and up picture! In this before picture, I was kind of hiding behind someone else so you can't get the full view but this was probably about 60 lbs ago, about 10 lbs before I hit my all time high. The after Picture is of me this past weekend on my way to my university graduation.

I weighed in the morning before the picture on the right was taken and I had officially lost 71.5 lbs. My ultimate goal is to lose 83 lbs but I am in no big rush and know that I will get there eventually. The important ting is that I am leading a healthy lifestyle....that being said....I fell off the wagon last night. BIGTIME I knew I was falling off, I was totally aware of it the whole time, I was even looking forward to it!! I splurged and went WAYYY overboard. I talked myself into it and told myself I deserved it for graduating from University. Why do I always feel that I have to reward myself with food??? I went to East Side Mario's with my hubby and ordered a pasta dish and he ordered pizza and we decided to split. Then we headed to the movies and of course got LOADS of treats to go along with it. By the end of the movie I was feeling awful and so was Scott. This morning though I'm back on track, I've jumped back on the wagon and I'm hanging on for dear life. There is no way I'm getting off now. I had my one night and maybe it was a good thing. I just needed to break away, even just for one night. But it's over, I've accepted it and now I'm moving on!

I have also been lacking in the workout department because it's been raining her for an entire week so I haven't been able to get out for my walks plus my Mom has been visiting so I have been trying to spend as much time as possible with her...but let's face it. Those are all just excuses and I could have totally worked around them if I had put my mind to it. But I didn't. Tomorrow I am back to the 4 workouts a week AT LEAST. I need to get my weights in, I have been seriously slacking.

How is everyone else doing??
