I've Been Ribboned!

I would have loved to update this on Wednesday morning but I guess my elation was too much to deal with in order to organize a thought… or I was just super slammed at work.

On Tuesday night at my Weight Watcher’s meeting I got the prestigious honor of receiving my “I LOST 10 POUNDS” ribbon!!!




I lost 1.8lbs which put me at an exact 10lb loss since beginning the program late December. I’m very proud of myself for achieving the first of many milestones to come. The next honor is a 5% star sticker (I’ll need to lose 2 more lbs for that one).

I’ve had the week off from school at night which has been great. I’m really looking forward to taking classes online next fall and my semester off next winter. Gladly my summer class is only 8 weeks long so night school will be a memory for as long as I can swing it. I love learning and that I am working toward something, but I definitely hate long hours in a classroom when I could be home, making my healthy lunch for the next day, doing yoga, riding my bike or even chilling out in front of the idiot box to let my mind rest.

Also, I’m right back on track for the challenge between myself, my boyfriend, his dad, his sister, and his friend Jim. I think I could win this thing. I’ve got 3 weeks and 4 days left to put the pedal to the metal!

Oh! On Monday, my roommate and I went to Costco and got a ton of fruit and veggies and all sorts of good stuff to have overflowing one’s pantry. I have made some yummy salads and snacks so far and I’m really loving the variety! Grapes are the best!

Speaking of the idiot box, tonight is Thursday night comedy shows and such (not the official name… I think). I plan to finish up the little bit of homework remaining for Monday’s class and then veg out to some Community, 30 Rock, Parks & Rec, and The Office… Perfect evening for a TV junkie.
