Since Prince makes sure any of his work is taken off YouTube, this is where I would insert a video of his song 1999. Why? Because with my 2 lb loss today, it puts me at dragon slayer number. (Aka- I haven't seen this weight since the Mr and I lost 85 lbs back in 1999.) So it's like from this point out I've got 35 lbs to go before I hit my high school weigh so that's the next milestone I'm aiming for.
Here's where the but comes in. It's birthday weekend and unfortunately there are lots of less than healthy treats planned since I have 2 celebrations today and tomorrow. But I am going to seriously bust my butt exercise wise this week, drown myself in water, I'm going to lower my calories the first couple days of next week to try to even things out and most importantly, tonight if I'm still somewhat full, I'm not going to eat dinner just because its dinner time. I'm actually going to listen to my body. (Shocking) I might actually do a full cardio and strength tomorrow instead of our usual strength only. So there is a plan in place to counter balance the cupcakey damage I'm about to indulge in.
At this point, I'm just pray to maintain this coming week. ;-)
What's on your to do list this weekend?

I'm headed for a visit with my MIL in southwestern Colorado and have no idea what will be on the menu. If it's up to her, it will be fast-food hamburgers; but one of the reasons we're going is to persuade her to stop eating so many of those.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, happy cupcake indulgence, and WOOHOO for the 2-lb loss!
Good, good, good, it's all good!! Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy b-day ...great plan for the week, and don't forget to enjoy the celebrations

ReplyDeleteNo real plans this weekend. My folks might come for a visit, but they haven't decided yet. Otherwise it'll just be typical weekend chores and lazying about.
Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteMe and boyfriend are going to wander around this reservoir in our state for a few hours today, we're picking a mini road trip for tomorrow, a boat on Tuesday, and bumming/homework&studying the rest of the time. Oh the joys of being a grad student (me) and him working on getting his PE (engineer)
Absolutely thrilled for you, Dragon Slayer girl!!! Two thumbs WAY up (mine! not yours - you rest yours with ice!! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou ARE DOING IT!! You WILL arrive at your next milestone, just like you hit this one. Program tweaks rule!!

ReplyDeleteThis weekend we try to restore order after Hurricane Isaac. Schools will reopen Tuesday, we think. My daughter's high school was used as a shelter for evacuees. Not sure if they'll be able to return people to their homes or not with the new problems of locks failing and dams breaking. I'm betting your weekend is a LOT better than ours. lol I hope you have a magical birthday!!
ReplyDelete*hugs*
Happy Birthday Weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is my birthday weekend too. I started the celebration by walking a 5K (second year), then going and weighing in and losing 2.4 lbs too. How weird is that? I had a birthday party yesterday - and decided to have the cake, 'cause my brother and his wife actually make cake that is good! No other real plans for the rest of the weekend...
Oh - and congrats on slaying the dragon!!!!
Happy Birthday! I just found your page, not quite sure how I got here. Sometimes, when I can't sleep I blog hop. It's better than bar hopping, right? But, wow, I love what you are doing. And congrats on the success. I've added you to my favorites so I can check out your workouts and recipes, but I should probably get some sleep.
ReplyDeleteAs for this weekend, feel free to peek at my blog. I just updated it for today's fun. Have a great weekend!

Well, thanks for getting that song stuck in my head! But hooray for losing another 2 pounds--that is a huge deal!
