I have no idea why I’m suddenly dropping weight but I’m lovin’ it!!!  I stepped on the scale this morning and I was like, NO WAY THAT CAN’T BE RIGHT.  I stepped off, back on again… off again, on again.  Still it stayed there, a number which meant I’d dropped another full pound overnight!! 

Just eleven days ago on September 19th, I complained, right here in this blog, about the fact that it had taken me FIFTY-EIGHT days to get through the 260’s.  The last line I wrote in that blog entry was this: 

I am gonna work even harder so the next ten pounds WON’T take 
fifty-freakin’-eight days to lose!!!!

Here it is, eleven days later and I’m almost half-way through that next ten pounds!!! Wooohooooo!!!!!  (Knock on wood or whatever substance is knockable, I don’t wanna jinx the other half!)  I mean, I don’t expect to lose another five pounds in just eleven more days, but I think it’s likely that I’ll get through the 250’s in less than 58 days altogether.  Anything less than that will make me VERY happy!!!

**Happy Dance**

Yesterday and today were busy days so I didn’t get to have my DDR workout until late at night - yesterday from 11pm-midnight and tonight it was from 10:30pm-11:30pm.  Yikes!  Of course, besides my “busy days” excuse reason, Dancing with the Stars was also a factor in why it was so late.  Can you believe Cloris is still in the game?  Poor Kim, the girl just could not shake it.

Tonight I ate out at TGI Friday’s.  I’m gettin’ good at this eat-low-carb-off-the-menu thing, ha!  I had chicken and broccoli and a little bit of broccoli cheese soup (gave my daughter the other 2/3 of the serving so I wouldn’t be tempted).  Oh, and I ordered those fried green beans - only I stripped my beans naked!  (Took the deep-fried breading off!)  I only ate maybe ten of ‘em, but DD ate all the “outsides” for me (as well as most of the rest of the appetizer).  LOL, she thought that was a great arrangement since the breading is her favorite part!
