Britt, I'm glad you were able to get in a couple of extra hours of sleep and still get to the gym! It was RAINING here yesterday too but finally cleared up for a wonderful, warm afternoon. The dogs were able to get to the Bark Park. I went to the gym early even though my husband was off (I didn't have a choice since I was working!) then my husband met me at Panera for breakfast. We like their souffles but I know they have too many carbs!!! At least they aren't huge and my husband can eat part of it! After that, we shopped then later I had a haircut appointment. So, I stayed busy. On the weight front, it's the same but I'm still battling the munchies. My Beck book is sitting here on my desk and hasn't been picked up in a few days. Bad, CeCe! I'm probably going to have an upper body lift the week of 17 March. I'm making arrangments to take off work and work with my surgeon and husbands schedules. Plus, I really want to be ready for SUMMER! I don't know about a bikini for me, Britt (congrats, by the way! GO PAUL!), but I want to wear a great swimsuit without covering up my arms!!! I also have 2 consultations set up with plastic surgeons for face lifts. If it's possible and we still have any money left (!), I would prefer to have the face lift about 3 or 4 weeks after the upper body work so I can recover from both at the same time and get back to work. My husband doesn't think it's a good idea but if I don't get too anemic and I don't have complications and, of course, if the surgeons think it's possible, I'd like to get it DONE! Begining weight: 245.25 Last Week: 130.25 This Week: 130.75 and 131 Up a PINCH! BMI: 22.4 or 22.5 Total Weight Loss: 114-115 Goals this week: Keep exercising and making better food choices - graze protein rich since I can't seem to stop grazing!!! CeCe
