It’s all up to me

Current weight: 223.5 (-1)

It’s freakin’ cold here. I think the official temperature is somewhere around 68 but it’s cloudy and cool. It honestly feels like it’s late October. We were outside working today and I was in pants and a long sleeved shirt and I was still cold. Crazy.

I hope this continuous weight loss lasts, although I know that I will hit a plateau at some point. For now I’m enjoying the ride. So much so that I’m forcing myself to go out to dinner tonight w/my hubby. We have a nurse scheduled to come tonight but I’m scared to leave the comfort and control of my kitchen for the big-bad-world of restaurant eating. I have previewed the menu and selected a grilled chicken entree and that is what I’ll order. I know it will have more calories than what I would have eaten at home but I need to be able to live a healthy life while I’m actually living my life. To help w/the motivation I went to the gym for a kick-ass hour on the elliptical (intervals make it go so much faster) and I’m going to dig out a pair of pants that were always too small and see if they fit. Nothing like smaller clothes to serve as a reminder of all of the hard work I have put in…definitely don’t want to sabotage myself w/an order of mozzarella sticks in new pants!

Progress toward workout goal: 66/300
