I'm hoping everyone is just quiet because of the weekend. I've been doing alright, although I skimped on other calories yesterday so I could have some fried chicken that I was craving. Not the way I need to go, I know, but I found that as I was eating it that I was thinking about all the better (and tastier) ways that I could have prepared it. I figure that has to be progress, right?
Aside from that I've been eating really well. The biggest thing that I've noticed is that when I go out to eat now I'm much more aware of how things are prepared and what a real serving size is.
I'm not sure what eating plans everyone else is sticking to, but I've been using the SELF challenge one. The first few days were tricky because I am not a little girl, and should have about 2400 calories to maintain my body weight. With this plan I'm eating about 1700/day, which means that if I do nothing but eat better I'm losing a pound every 4-5 days. (I'm a math geek - give me numbers and away I go)
I even started to work out a little bit this weekend. I have a ballet conditioning video that I did which is fun. I've also been riding my stationary bike in 5-10 minute bursts which while it isn't a lot, at least I'm moving, right?
How has everyone else been doing? Ready for the weigh in tomorrow morning?

Hello!
I have not been doing any eating plan, really. I just went out one day and bought all healthy food that I really like, and that's what I eat now. I have switched from buying groceries at Walmart to Target, and it's helped so much! Target is so health food friendly, its so much easier there. I feel like at Walmart, they have a display of Little Debbies at the end of every aisle! I could have been better this weekend, but I've been really trying to justenjoy myself when I am out socially, because it doesn't happen often. I don't want to go crazy with it and freak out one day and eat everything I've denied myself in a giant binge...ahh, memories! lol
