Ok, today is my birthday, and I did really good! Went out Saturday with and my kids and boyfriend, and they had all gotten me a gift certificate for personal training sessions with Hannah! Bob also bought me snowshoes, so I've been going out everyday with them! No sweets this year, I received a bag of almonds, pistachios, and dried apricots!

       Bob took me to Hybachi for dinner tonite, and I only ate 1/2 the dinner, but that was even too much! I'm sooo stuffed now! I will work out extra the next few days since we're weighing in on Saturday! YIKES!!
       I do still weigh myself every few days just to make sure I'm still on track. I'm still using the "mypyramid.gov" website to track my meals and calories each day. My snacks are still measured for each day, and I'm watching my portions. I'll be happy with any weightloss I have. I'm working out at the fitness center 3x a weeks still, plus I'm now snowshoeing everyday I can fit it into my schedule. And working out everymorning. I still haven't lost 20lbs this month, but I"m ok with that now. Patience is a virtue. I feel better than I have in years, and my constant hunger pains have subsided, and I don't feel a need to have to eat all the time anymore!! I believe it was all the caffeine

and sugar I had been consuming each day was making me crash, feel hungry and tired all the time. I don't have any of those anymore!!! I don't have that bloated, don't want to move feeling anymore either!!!

    I'm excited to see everyone in the contest on Saturday!! It seems like we're all trying, and I hope everyone is successful with their weightloss!!!!
