Challenges...

well DH came home thursday night and we have had a nice couple of days together. i had WI on thursday night as well and i lost 3lbs! i am very excited but it is already short lived since i have over indulged the last three days. i also have to weigh in tuesday instead of thursday next week because i have an appointment thursday night so i know i most likely will not be happy with my number. but that will just motivate me again for the following WI. i have 4.5lbs to go until goal. that is very exciting....
it is so hard to go to functions and be challenged with the great food there. i was very controlled at the baby shower yesterday; qty 1 1" mini empanada, qty 1 3/4" cheese quiche round, 1/2 deviled egg, and 3 1" long mini cheese chorizo sticks. thats it. they had so many home made delicious foods and i just kept saying no thank you.... no thank you .... no thank you.......
then today was a birthday party; 1 small piece of bday cake (it was a 10 and worth it), and qty 1 small sandwich piece about 2"long by 3/4" wide with meat and lettuce and tomato. thats it.... then it was no thank you to wings, no thank you to pizza, no thank you to ice cream cake, no thank you to beer. so even though i failed, as i write this that i could have gone hog wild and eaten so much and i didn't. so i guess i did succeed.......
