I did it!!

I just had to post!  I weighed myself yesterday and hit 186.3. That was my goal before we head to the beach on Saturday. I decided to see if I could lose more. This morning, I got on the scale and saw 185.3. My final goal before I leave is to see if I can hit 185.0. Either way, I'm super excited and proud of myself. 

Weigh In Wednesday ~ June 18, 2014

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Cheesecake Factory.  I actually wound up ordering their Tomato, Mozzarella & Basil flatbread from their Skinnylicious menu.  It was fantastic and a perfect amount of food.  Jason got their Bang Bang Shrimp and Chicken.  I tried a bite of chicken and a bite of shrimp.  It was fantastic as well.  We went to see the new X-Men movie and then went back to Cheesecake Factory to get a couple of slices of  cheesecake to take home.  Jason got the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut and I got Key Lime Cheesecake.  They were both good, but I probably wouldn't order them again.  I still love their Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake.  Totally worth the calories once a year!  ;)

I'm linking up with Heather, Erin & Ash for Weigh-In Wednesday.

I'm down 0.6 from last week.  I am perfectly fine with that since I had WAY too much cheese dip on Friday night and ate out Saturday as well.  My goal is to be 186.3 or below by Saturday when I leave for the beach.  That's 0.2 pounds per day to lose.  I can do it! 

My plan for the next couple of weeks is to focus on my fruits and veggies, eat lots of fantastic grilled seafood next week and take lots of walks on the beach.  I'll check in when I get back!

Weigh In Wednesday ~ June 11, 2014

Happy Hump day!!  I'm so glad it's Wednesday.  It gets us one step closer to the weekend.  I've got a busy weekend ahead.  Friday night is girls night at a local Mexican restaurant.  I'm looking forward to getting together with some of my best friends.  One of them is visiting from out of town, so I'm excited to catch up with her!

Saturday is my 11th wedding anniversary.  My parents are coming over to keep the girls for us so Jason and I can go out to dinner.  We have a gift card for Cheesecake Factory, so I think we are going to try to go there and then maybe go see a movie.  They have a Santa Fe Chicken Salad that is fantastic and semi-healthy.  I'll probably have that for dinner and then split a piece of cheesecake with Jason - if we can agree on what to get!

I'm still plugging along with the weight loss and healthy eating.  Life has been a bit stressful with some issues going on with our health insurance, but I have managed not to stress eat for probably the first time in my life.  So proud of myself for staying under control.

On to the weigh in!  I'm linking up with Heather, Ash & Erin.

I'm down another 1.2 pounds this week.  So happy with that.  We are going to the beach in 10 days, so my goal is to be at 186.3 or below (that's what I weighed the last time we were at the beach).  I'm aiming for 185 to keep me on track. 

Weigh In Wednesday ~ June 4, 2014

I really buckled down this past week and focused on my eating.  I didn't get any workouts in because my shoulder was still bothering me and I didn't want to risk injuring it further.  This week, I'm fighting my semi-annual sinus infection.  At least I think that's what it is.  Boo...

I've been eating tons of fresh fruit and veggies.  I fixed my hamburger pie recipe and have been eating that for lunch every day with cantaloupe.  So delicious!  I'll try to remember to grab my recipe and post it on here.

My goal this week is to get back to my workouts and continue to focus on fruits and veggies.  My cherry tomatoes are starting to come in, so I'm looking forward to lots of yummy salads full of tomato goodness!

I also joined a diet bet 10.  The goal is to lose 10% of your weight in 6 months.  Totally doable.  If you'd like to join, please follow this link: Diet Bet 10
