Week of 3/25

Hi all,
I had a great week on the meal plan last week, and it payed off on the scale - down 2 pounds. My "cravings" for sugar really did decrease as the week went by, and on Friday night, I was able to turn down cake. This is huge for me. I've been feeling some depression, and since I was able to stay off sugar during the week, I felt it diminish tremendously. I've been doing my strength training in the morning, but am really struggling with fitting in my cardio with our family's insane schedule lately (ok, and I just can't bring myself to get up a half hour earlier to get to the gym to do cardio). Will try to do my 2 15 minute breaks today and walk and climb stairs, and hopefully that will be a bit of a kick start. In two weeks, my job moves me to a satelite location, and I'm about 10 minutes from my gym, so I can go at lunch.
The only bummer was that I had my heart set on a certain "cheat" item for my free day yesterday, and when I got there, they were sold out. Silly, but that had been my focus for the week "No, you can't have that cake, because on Sunday you're going to try a maple-bacon donut". Might sound gross, but I've been intrigued. Anyhow, I'm changing my "cheat" day to Saturday this week, becuase my husband and I will be celebrating our aniversary that night.
How is everyone else doing?

This is my first week on it still but so far its been working really well for me. I'm hoping to lose some. I need 40 more lbs to be where I really want. This week I went all out on my cheat day but I noticed that I didn't eat nearly as large portions as I normally would. It made me feel good but I have to get over that feeling of "wasting" food if I don't finish it all. Crossing my fingers for my next weigh in!0
