8 down!

Woo! Lost another pound. It's so nice to see the the small sacrifices being paid off. 

This week I am focusing on counting calories, drinking enough water and exercising. When it comes to exercise I totally skipped out on it last week. I was just too tired. But my goal this week is to do it Mon-Fri and if for some reason I can't do it one day I am not going to freak out, but I will definitely need to get back into the very next day.

Last night we went to Mimi's Cafe to celebrate Brett's Grandma's birthday. I was all ready with my item of choice ready to go. I knew exactly how many calories it was and I made sure I had enough left for it in my day. Well, when I get there it isn't on the menu! How disappointing. But I chose a Cob Salad which was under 600. Little did I know it came with a HUGE, 500 calorie muffin. I ended up eating about half of it. I totally regret it and learned my lesson. Next time I am offered something like that I will just ask for fruit or some other healthier alternative. That was way too much of a temptation for me. By the way, Mimi-'s has a LOT of low-cal options and their salads are way good and super filling and they have two low-fat dressing options. So great! I love that they have the calories right there on the menu without having to ask for nutrition information.

How are things for you? What are your mountains? What are you focusing on this week?
