Jumping bags of pumpkin peeps, I dropped 1.2 pounds and 1.0 inches this week. Only 7.2 small pounds left until I reach my goal of 25 pounds and 22 inches bye-bye. This week started off really good, and I had dropped some weight early on, but then by Sunday things started to go down emotionally real fast, and I started doing a great deal of emotional eating. Last night though, I actually had my first night of no night snacking. I was grateful for a small victory. I kept up with the 5 days of exercise, but the eating got out of hand.
Why? First, Halloween is the day that Matt first told me he loved me over 3 years ago, and so this howl-day has always been sweet-n-treat for me, but not this year. This is my first Halloween without Mattie, and it is crushing my heart, so my emotional state has been pretty sensitive. Second reason, I get into more detail in this week's video report. The restaurant I'm video taping from is called Citrine, in Redwood City, CA. If you live in the Bay Area, you must eat there because it's fresh, healthy, tasty food. Plus, they have FREE Wi-Fi. It's blogger heaven!
I'd have to say that the main motivation for me to at least keep up with the exercise is Twitter: Skinny Jeans. In two weeks, I have almost 200 people following me. Holey smokes! It's exciting, and it does make me feel more accountable. It's harder for me to rationalize myself out of exercise especially when there is no good reason to even do 15 minutes.
I say make this day, Halloween, your "Free" day and eat all the candy you want. Have guilt free fun! Relive happy childhood memories. Then tomorrow, donate all the left over candy to others.( video 5min 38sec)
