One full week done!
 
I managed to do all my Power 90 workouts, stick with my diet for another weekend, and lost 7.2 pounds!!!
 
Jeff (the boyfriend) is also down just over seven pounds!  We’re both pretty happy!
 
Now all that said, I really have to learn to put the Weight Watchers ice cream bars down…My favorite are the latte ones and they are only just above 1 point each, but I need to not eat three of them in one night.  Le sigh.
 
Jeff has even joined me on a couple of workouts recently and the workouts have been pretty good…Until tonight.
 
I’m still skipping sections of the “Sculpt” DVD where they do the dips, lunges, all that, but today on the “Sweat” DVD, I was just too tired and skipped the last round of legs, all of arms, cool down, stretch, and just went right to the “Ab Ripper”.  No excuses…Got lazy.  Will do better tomorrow and not get upset with myself.
 
Upcoming:
Still have a couple of things I’m worried about coming up: Good friends are coming over this weekend and we are taking them to the local smokehouse restaurant…There are healthy options (I’m thinking steak and steamed veggies), but I just don’t want those.  There is so much good, fried food there and who wants veggies when you can deep fried pickles?  Not me.  But I’ll probably be pretty good…For the most part.
 
The other things I’m worried about are the Irish Music Festivals.  I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to still write down everything I eat, but I’m not going to panic if I don’t stay within my points…In fact, I doubt if I will be able to stay within them.
 
Jeff and I are going to pack a lot of healthy snacks, meal bars, all that, but still plan on having tasty adult beverages (probably two of the three nights) and some good old Irish stew, potato soup, and my once-per-year (for the last eight years) treat: One (1) deep-fried Twinkie.
 
Goal?  To not screw up everything I have been working on and to eat only when hungry, not when bored.
 
So I suppose I’ll end this entry here…Just had to get some thoughts out about some upcoming events…
 
(BTW: I don’t know if I posted it or not, but I DID manage to resist the treats at the company BBQ – I brought my healthy lunch, gave the left over ice cream pudding away, and didn’t cheat AT ALL.  Not even ONE LITTLE BIT).  :D
