    I'm impatient too...and it has come to an extremely slow crawl. At least I am maintaining and still working out. It's not so much about the number anymore, but I would love to get there eventually!

    Oh! And I got to run outside today...it was bliss. It has been so cold and I forgot how wonderful it was to get out of the house/gym and be outside. It was 46 degrees when I ran by the bank!! That's like a tropical heat wave here :laugh: I never thought I would say that running was my exercise of choice, but it is. My goal is to run a half marathon someday..though no idea when that would be! I need a running partner...

    I got to run outside too yesterday and it was amazing!!! Who knew I'd ever be happy about temps in the upper 40s?!?!

    Hey everyone, sorry I've been awol up until now, what a crazy week! I had to teach until 10:30pm both Monday and Tuesday, then we had a big meeting all day wednesday. I had to do the presentation for our lab, so I was trying to work on that around having to teach. There were very few hours of sleep and much stress. It's all over now and I'm just starting to get back into a normal routine. In all the chaos I hadn't been tracking and certainly not drinking enough water. Oh well, stuff like this happens.

    We're all doing so good. :) I managed to go to the pizza shop and bring my own dinner (I had to go because it was a family birthday) of jasmine rice, black beans and chicken wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla. It was really good and satisfied me and I didn't eat any pizza or garlic knots. Yay.

    I did have a small piece of ice cream cake but my family screams if you don't. It was small, and I had the calories for it.

    Ok, I had something really exciting happen to me at jazzercise last night....
    The lady who was standing behind me (she has been going for a while) said, "Wow, you are really toning up"! I was like, "YAY!!! Thank you"!!!! AND she was standing BEHIND me! You know how important it is to tone up THAT area :laugh:
    So, it was sooooo nice to hear that compliment.... Also, three of the teachers at the school where I teach told me Wednesday that they could really tell I was losing weight... GUYS!!! As slow as my weight is coming off and as irritated I am with that, I am totally stoked that my body is changing and people are noticing!!
    I had to share that with you guys this morning :drinker:
    AWESOME!!!! Your doing great!!!! That should give you some added motivation for the next few weeks!:drinker:

    Had my daughter's b'day party last night... I would love to be able to tell you how good I was, but alas... I can not... I ate pizza... AND I ENJOYED EVERY BIT OF IT!!! LOL... I also drank some pepsi... Anyway, jumped on the scale this morning to see what the damage was and it said I was up 4 lbs.... I know most of that is water from all of the sodium... BUT it was a good reminded to get back into gear and get it off... So LOTS of water today and definitely getting my shred on :laugh:

    I had pizza last night too. Hopefully I can work it off by Wednesday.

    I am glad you enjoyed your daughters birthday party though!

    It is my sons birthday tomorrow, I had cake last night, planning some tonight and tomorrow too (3 different celebrations). I am keeping to small pieces. I don't even like cake that much. Oh well.

    I :heart: pizza!! I haven't had it in awhile...and there's a Little Caesar's just a short walk from my house :) Maybe next week after this hellacious exam is over I can have a treat. Have a happy holiday tomorrow and I'm off to overload on coffee now so I can get through these blasted notes a few more times :cry: :frown:
