I have had like the best week ever!

My HBA1C was 5.3 (type 1 diabetic, this is the best I've ever had it!! Basically means my blood sugars have been under excellent control.)

I've fallen off my plateau, lost 9lbs in 2.5 weeks and finally gotten from my stubborn 179 to 170lbs!

I can finally fit into my skinny jeans, down to a size 12 (UK, USA 10) again! YES!

Today I just got my Acceptance into University!! I'm going to be studying a psychology program in North Wales. I am so excited!!

My friend has just confirmed that her Crufts Qualified Pomeranian is having at least 3 puppies, so I'll hopefully have my new baby this Summer!

AAAAND....all of that plus I take off for my Holiday in the USA on Saturday!! I'm going to have to try really hard not to give in to all of the tempting food out there, though I do have one meal out planned at Portillo's with my entire family. That's my treat for the next two weeks! lol

So many awesome thinks happened to me this week, I just had to share with everyone!! ^___^

Has anyone else had an awesome week?!

That's great!

Let's see with me...

My analytical chem class is over next Wednesday, all that's left is the final next Wednesday WOO! That means that I can get back to more consistent workouts now and start losing again

I am doing a few new projects at work right now, which is good cuz I've been so bored lately!

My husband and I are almost finished paying off our credit card debts, I think in a few more months we'll get it done and then start saving for a home

My sister is getting a job up in LA over the summer so my hubby and I will have the house to ourselves all summer WOO!

ANND!! I just got back from work, I was supposed to work a 4:30-11:30 shift, but the power is out on our whole block at work so we all got sent home! AHH!! I dunno if I can take much more good news!! lol

I can't wait to see my family in the USA. I've been over in the UK for 3 years now and I miss my parents and sisters so much.

More power to you Cassandra. I LOVE people who take the time to pass on good news. Sounds like an awesome week and more to follow with your holiday & uni. And now you are a skinny size 12 you'll be able to waft about looking gorgeous while you do it. Perfect!

Congrats keep it up....

^-^ What an entirely positive post, congratulations that is all wonderful news! Was it hard giving away the rescue pup? Or easier because you know one will be on its way to you soon?

[roobear]

Congrats on all the good news. I want a puppy, it's not fair, my dad hates dogs and you can't take cats for walks.

My mom had gotten a maltese terrier pup just a week before we landed in Chicago and she is the most adorable little thing. Worst lapdog in the world, she hates to be held, but she's so smart and precious!!

AAAND, I didn't gain a single pound on my trip, in fact, I lost three more pounds over the first week and another two this past week! My younger sister had me up at the crack of dawn every morning to go for a 5 mile jog/bike ride. It was fabulous! ^___^
