    Well I've probably eaten more tonight than I have in a week. It's wasn't by accident though, which somehow makes it better? Haha. I will be eating a lot tomorrow too, I'm sure. Sunday will be back to normal though. I'm so stuffed right now, I can't wait.

    My husband and I went out to dinner tonight to celebrate his birthday. (It was earlier this month but he was away on business). The girls (13 and 5) were at the movies with their friends so we had a night out. I was amazed at what I ate and still stayed under calories. I had a garden salad with 1000 dressing charbroiled salmon garlic mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. And for once I had something other than water. I had strawberry lemonade. And I had 4 small bites of his mud pie. It was delish. I am so stuffed yet under calories. Funny how that works. And what is even more crazy this is something I would normally order even if I wasn't trying to lose weight. But keep in mind I love wild Alaska salmon. It is one of my favorite seafoods.

    Good morning,


    What an exciting day. Thank you for all the best wishes on my birthday. With all that is going on I almost forgot.

    Connie - I will try and post today when things calm down. I am leaving for Yoga with my oldest daughter who is a yoga instructor, so I will try some calming there. It has been an exciting time.!!

    I will also try and post a picture today.

    Oh, I almost forgot I got a Fitbit for my birthday from my husband. Awesome!!

    are going out to dinner again. So I lost 3.8 lbs total not a great end to the challenge. I will start again on Monday for the July 4th challenge and try harder now that everything is calming down.

    I will get my daughter to set up my Fitbit and get started on that too.

    Good luck everyone on the next challenge.
