Yay for Monday!! :)
Do I sound crazy yet?
For some reason I am extra excited about life today . . . don’t ask me why, not sure I can come up with a real answer.
Anyway, sorry I wasn’t around much this weekend, I have really missed reading all your blogs. I did spend some time on here, but not as much as I would have liked. It was a busy weekend for some reason. But it was a productive weekend.
I got my friend that I am trying to work with to go to the gym with me on Saturday and I made her stay and do more than she had planned cause I had to do my 65 min. on the elliptical and she couldn’t leave without me. I’m so sneaky. Anyway . . . I was proud of her. We then went back to my house where I made her a healthy breakfast and talked more about her plan. She is doing good and really getting her head where it needs to be to tackle something like the serious weight loss that is ahead of her.
So funny experience on Saturday night, I knew that we were going to the Cheesecake Factory for two of my friends birthdays. So I looked at the menu online, found the nutritional info and planned ahead. Yay for me!! Anyway, funny thing happened. I got the appatizer that I had planned to eat for my dinner, decided to share half of it and could barly finish the half that I had remaining for myself. So when everyone got their dessert after dinner I was so full I was not even tempted by the fabulous cheesecakes surrounding me. It was great to feel like I was really the one in control. The food did not control me, I controlled me!! And on a side note it was a little gratifying for me to see this girl that was there that I really don’t like who was telling everyone about her diet consume 3500 calories, I know, I’m not a nice person, but it felt so good!!

Good job, and way to go motivating her!
Ha Ha Ha! She is probably one of those who says she has no idea why she gains weight cause she doesnt really eat that much or that bad… Hee Hee Hee. We can all get a little “mean” sometimes. All in good fun… Great job E!
