Yay! Back to moving in the right direction! I'm doing 2 monthly exercise challenges and have slacked off the last few days due to tailbone pain. I think I aggravated an old injury doing situps. Boo! I also found out, the hard way, to stay clear of Rita's Water Ice's milkshakes. I took my daughter there to try a water ice and decided on a Peanut Butter Milkshake for myself. When I got home and logged it, my eyes almost popped out my head. If I had planned for it, it wouldn't have been a shock.

Something new I tried: I've been getting vinaigrette dressings at the grocery store with a fruity addition (like pomegranate or raspberry), and I also bought a ton of greens this week (romaine and spinach). When I crave something sweet, I make a salad with my fruity dressing. Being a vinaigrette, if I watch the other ingredients, they are generally low in calories and a little goes a long way! It's been helping to curb my sweet tooth and I am getting in a bunch of greens and other veggies. The bonus is that strawberries compliment those dressings, so I can add them to my salad for an extra bit of sweetness!

@mmbarnes1973 - It's never to late to start! I've been shy of my goal the last 2 months on these weight loss challenges. I decided to not be so hard on myself and just celebrate the lose and not focus on missing my goal.

Slow and steady wins the race, right! I have not seen the 130's since I was in high school 20 years ago, I am so close I can taste it! Started Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 this month and I can see muscles I haven't seen in 20 years, yay! Hope everyone meets there goals this week and month, we can do this!!

I left Calorie Count and came over to myfitnesspal. I have been logging calories for over 10 years. I like this app better except I don't have any friends. Anyone needing a friend send me a request.

Have a wonderful day!

I'm already one fifth of the way there :P

I've been away for 9 months :-(
Luckily I've come back 2 pounds lighter :-)
