3: pork tenderloin, brussels sprouts with shallots, spinach salad with tomatoes, red bell peppers and carrots

workout: 45 min. treadmill

it is DS2's 2nd birthday tomorrow - I'm making french toast and yogurt with berries. I'll probably make a smoothie for myself because we're going to the gym. can't wait to try out a new class called Strike - it is a kickboxing/strength fusion class that uses weighted bars during kickboxing moves.

I'm officially in the normal weight range. I have no idea what to think now since I've been overweight or obese my entire adult (and probably most of my childhood) life. I don't know how much further I want to go. I hit my December goal of 8 lbs. and will probably eek out maybe another pound before the end of the year. Maybe another 20 lbs? Gosh, that number seems so attainable now.

B-pb banana smoothie
L-spinach feta wrap, leftover sesame soy cabbage, clementine
D-sbd meatloaf, veggies, fruit salad (mango and strawberry)

Stepdaughter is making dinner and dessert, so I will probably have a small slice blueberry pie.
