Hiii All,

Happy Valentine’s Day…ok moving on… haha

so, i weighed myself this morning, as the official weigh in and it was 213.6! woohoo, still on my way down. although i couldnt help but feel a twinge of dissapointment, because i was hoping for 2 lbs per week loss, cuz thats what my mini goals are based on. but at the same time i a) didnt eat amazingly this week i.e. snacking at night and french fries for dinner last night nor have i b) worked out yesterday due to scheduling issues and c) it’s still that week of the month. and im certainly not complaining because I’m thrilled the numbers on the scale are moving down, but it is reinforcing something I need to really remember which is that my actions and the food I eat really do directly impact my weight loss. well its a long weekend this weekend so i can really get back on track (after v-day dinner..haha…) and go to the gym all the days this weekend and also really watch my food and hopefully the cravings and snacking will go away once im back on the pill. so, yea. definitely not disapointed, but I know I can really do better. I just really need to be more cautious about my food and snacking and really just stay consistent with my exercise. another thing i recognize is that I definitely didnt get 8 hours of sleep every night this week and I do believe that weight loss is impacted by sleep, so after my paper is due tomorrow, I really need to get back on track with not staying up late, and still getting 8 hours a night, at least.
