So every year this older guy George buys me a Shamrock shake well I looked it up and it has 560 calories so I told him not to do it this year. Well in he came with it and I thanked him and as soon as he left I called up one of the teenagers who had done me a favor in the morning and asked him if he would like it and he told me I was the best ever. My coworker goes you are such a stinker you just saved yourself a zillion calories and look like a saint. LOL

Back to the gym this morning! Grateful that my friend is there to motivate me to wake up and go... woke up at 6:20 am, was very proud of not turning the alarm off in my sleep and smugly napped until my second alarm at 6:30 am ... woke up, closed my eyes "for a minute" and woke up when the phone buzzed at 6:59 am when my friend messaged to see if I was awake. A real blessing. A weekly trip to the gym is better than not going at all, as I'm sure many wise people say. Topped off the weekly exercise with the garbage-water-vanilla-garnish protein shake.

This week has been better for the weight loss. My binges tend to occur in the evenings (when I start eating after I get home, I don't tend to stop until I feel sick or fall asleep, it's stupid but a very old habit, starting in middle school I think, and hard to break), so I'm making that a hot drink, and eating mainly before 6 pm. Trying to apply the idea that an alcoholic can control whether they take the first drink.

I've been a bit all over the place with my eating in the last week and a bit. Cravings, take-aways, alllllllll the chocolate. Anyway, feeling back in the game!

Hey! Sorry I've been gone for ages, hope everyone is doing well.

I've put on some weight since the last weigh in (had an exam season, not great) and I'm trying to get back on track. I rely really heavily on comfort food... I hope I can get it together and figure out a way to fit into the dress by the wedding.
