What a week!
April 29th, 2008
So, 14 years after graduating from high school, I finally finished up college last Thursday. It’s still sinking in that I don’t have to study my way through my weeknights anymore. I’ve not quite figured out what to do with myself. I have a wedding to plan, although we can’t set a date yet. I’m definitely in limbo, just waiting, waiting, waiting for the military to tell my DF what his pilot training schedule will be for the next year. But, I’m determined not to get too frustrated by this whole limbo thing. After all, I graduate in just a few days with a 4.0 GPA. Not too shabby for a former college dropout!
Also, the week back on Weight Watchers went really well for me. I lost 4.2 lbs! Now, I know that’s generally too rapid a loss, but there’s always an adjustment period the first week back on points. Perhaps more important than the number on the scale, my DF and I had a real breakthrough with our eating habits when I visited him this past weekend. He actually didn’t protest too loudly when I refused to go to Waffle House for breakfast. (Funny, I still ate a waffle for breakfast - although it was half a belgian waffle with no whipped cream or butter.) For dinner, we took advantage of his living so near the water and got shrimp and flounder from an amazing fish market (the boats unload their catch directly behind the counter). I’ve never had such fresh seafood in my life! Silly to say, maybe, but it was a real step forward for us not to dine out at every meal and make healthy choices at home.
This week, I’ve no big plans to go to Pensacola, so staying on points should go just as well as, if not better than, last week. Now, I’ve no expectations for another four lbs gone, but two sure would be nice.
