Proud of myself.....but aggravated!
We had free lunch here at work today. I stuck to drinking my slim fast shake, while everyone in the room was eating grilled chicken, green beans, potatoes, rolls and to top it off, brownies for dessert.

An Awesome Weekend!!!
So two awesome things happened this past weekend! First - I went shopping and I'm officially a size smaller!!! Woo-hoo!!! I was so excited! I tried on a size 14 pair of jeans (it's been forever since I've fit into a 14!) and they fit perfectly! I also tried on a 12 just for fun...it was WAY too tight but it buttoned! Haha…

Realization
So far since April 1 I have lost 10.4 lbs. This website has truly helped me with realizing how much I was eating on a regular basis.
