Welp, it's been a while. But who all is surprised? I have still been trucking along in my weight watchers journey. So far I have lost a grand total of 14.2 lbs. and 5inches in my waist. My weigh-ins are on Mondays so I did that this morning. I wanted Mondays to be my "blogging days" since that was my weigh in day but our community group changed to Monday nights and I really don't have any other excuse except that I'm too tired by the end of that to do any thinking. Anyway. Last week Joseph was out of town from Monday-Thursday. It was awful. I have gotten to the point that I really don't know what I did before him. Was life even meaningful before him? Whatever I did it wasn't nearly as good as it is when we're together. I can't imagine life without him. He is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me. Oh, did I mention that it's our 10th month-aversary? Good grief! Has it almost been a year already??? I don't even understand how fast time goes by. Anyway, back to him being out of town and weight watchers. I don't know how I lost weight this week.. Since he's the cook in the family, I was going to starve, so what did I do? I ate out. All week. Yikes! I had Wendy's TWICE, I mean really?? Besides eating Chickfila the Friday before I couldn't even remember the last time I ate fast food. Then I had mexican with my sweet friend Kara on Tuesday night which lead me to go ahead and get a plate to go for lunch the next day.. Typically I would have eaten only half of my plate and take the other half home-but I was starving this particular day and I took out the whole plate. One night I did feel bad for eating so much that all I had was cereal. But then when he came home, he was too tired to cook (I'm SUCH a bad wife not cooking for my husband) so we went to a little Italian place for dinner.. and of course had leftovers the next day. So I had all of that last week and I still lost 1.2lbs this week. Whew! That was a lot!! I feel sick just thinking back on it :/ But only 11lbs more and I'm halfway to my goal. I have set it to lose all 50lbs by Christmas.. Really hoping I can keep this goal. I am not much of a goal keeper or one to stick things like this out. But hopefully I can hold on to motivation and determination until then!

The little train that could.. "I think I can I think I can I think I can." <--that's me!

Have a fantastic week!
